 PROFILE
Electronic Data Systems (EDS) hopes that size does indeed matter. The largest independent systems consulting firm in the US (IBM is #1 overall), EDS offers systems integration, network and systems operations, data center management, applications development, field services for companies and government agencies, and management consulting (A.T. Kearney). EDS was spun off in 1996 by General Motors, which still is nearly 20% of EDS's sales. The company, founded by Texas billionaire Ross Perot (now chairman of rival Perot Systems), is expanding its electronic business consulting division, E.Solutions, which was jump-started through the purchase of MCI Systemhouse and swapping other assets with WorldCom.
