  3. EDS and contractors • short term peaks of technical skills • contractor dominated markets • a few key people we haven’t been able to replace • occasionally to see someone in action • to help upskill our people but we don’t like to do it

  4. Because……. • we really want to build an EDS team • we view contractors as short term • investment in process and methodology is high • loss of IP • impact on other staff • cost

  5. Our expectations • productive by lunchtime • fully capable • highly flexible • transition your skills • understand it’s short term • understand that it may finish early

  6. Upsides of contracting • multiple projects • multiple organisations • multiple industries • variety • travel

  7. Upsides of contracting • $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

  8. Downsides of contracting • not fully part of the organisation • resentment from other team members • lack of training • contracts terminated or not renewed • gaps between contracts • managing your business

  9. Conclusions • EDS would prefer not to contract but accepts that it is part of our current resourcing strategy • I know a number of career contractors – it is a legitimate choicebut those people are doing much the same now as 10 years ago • If you want to continue to develop new skills then generally be employed • Think about it – even try it for a while – it’s your choice - but it’s not just about the dollars
