It was set up to do all the dirty work which the brits didnt bother to do, and cost effectiveness was the key. It was just like a separate entity, a third party who takes care of the BAU activities if you like, many of the Ldn colleagues didnt even know there was such an entity called GSDC or what the hell it was there for.I dont believe there was any key projects initiated by GSDC which went global, it was always the other way around. Btw, GSDC is no longer in existence, the IT teams have been business aligned, for the better or for the worse.
