The U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office for the Controller of the Currency (OCC) has signed a US $30 million contract with EDS, an HP company, to maintain end-user computing resources in order to improve the overall user experience for the agency's workforce.

Under the agreement, EDS will provide workplace services support and deploy HP desktops and accessories. EDS will also aim to consolidate the number of desktops and help meet the needs of OCC employees by providing solutions tailored to improve productivity, simplify remote access and reduce support costs.

OCC charters, regulates and supervises national banks to ensure a safe, sound and competitive banking system that supports both the citizens and the economy of the United States. The contract will enable OCC’s mobile bank examiners to be more productive in regulating and supervising 1,600 national banks and 50 federal branches of foreign banks in the United States, which account for nearly two-thirds of the total assets of all U.S. commercial banks.
