Information Technology Services Agency (ITSA) was an executive agency of the United Kingdom Department of Social Security (subsequently the Department for Work and Pensions), which was set up in 1991.[1]
Intension and Goal[edit]
ITSA was established to "help create and deliver an active modern social security service, which encourages and enables independence and aims to pay the right money at the right time".[citation needed]
Dissolution[edit]
ITSA ceased to exist in 2000[citation needed], following the outsourcing of the majority of its functions and staff to Electronic Data Systems (EDS). EDS was later purchased by HP in a $13.9 billion deal.[2][3]
