On 13 May 2008,Hewlett-Packard confirmed that it had reached a deal with Electronic Data Systems to acquire the company for $13.9 billion.[12] The deal was completed on 26 August 2008.
In September 2009, Mphasis changed its brand identity by dropping EDS association to become "Mphasis, an HP Company" after HP retired EDS Brand to become "HP Enterprise Services". Mphasis operated as an independent HP subsidiary with its own board and continued to be listed on Indian markets as "Mphasis Limited".[13] HP owned close to 62% in Mphasis and Mphasis got around 50% of its revenues from HP.[14]
