Short Take: EDS e-business changes name

EDS's new e-business division is changing its name to help it stand out in the pack. The systems integrator and outsourcer is swapping E-Business Solutions - IBM's e-business namesake - to an abbreviated new name: E.Solutions. E.Solutions combines resources from sundry EDS units, including Centrobe, Electronic Business, CIO Services, Human Performance Services, Enterprise Solutions, Business Intelligence Services and Systemhouse, which EDS recently acquired from MCI WorldCom. EDS also said it will form a global e-business consulting practice within E.Solutions that will be staffed by 6,000 EDS employees.
