In spite of preliminary successes, Brown's period eventually ended in failure, due mostly to his failure to acknowledge the growing Indian market and his determination to purchase company at the cost of the business's margin.
The dreadful multibillion-dollar Navy & Marine Corp Intranet agreement represented the kind of prominent deals that Brown pursued, typically increasing EDS's stock cost in the short-term while deteriorating its capital short-term and its success over the long term.
