The drive for miniaturization has resulted in the mushrooming of a large number of start-up firms in the fields of micro-manufacturing and nano-technology. Even as these firms drive home their strategic technological expertise to rake in profits and expand in their countries of origin and globally, the need for a comprehensive information technology strategy to connect with customers and within the firm is increasingly felt. While these firms may have an internal IT department to begin with, an ever increasing customer base calls for a larger firm with proven prior expertise in implementing solutions on a larger scale.

It is here that EDS can leverage its proven success strategies in delivering successful solutions that enable these firms to grow in size and profitability.
