A new contract from the U.S. Postal Service may deliver in two ways: it could give Electronic Data Systems Corp. more business with that agency and offer a route for its commercial products to reach the federal market.
The $42 million contract for managing and monitoring computer links among about 7,000 post offices will build on EDS' commercial Renascence Center offering for managing distributed systems.
The Herndon, Va.-based division of EDS won the contract in part because it could show the Postal Service operations similar to those the agency plans to establish, said Tim May, EDS' director of business development for the Postal Service.
