ITWeb reports that IT services company Dimension Data (DD) has quietly retrenched some of its employees, with a source indicating to ITWeb that the firm last week laid off staff.  

When contacted, DD confirmed the job cuts, but did not say how many people were affected or from which departments or regions.  Grant Bodley, CEO of DD Middle East and Africa, said in a statement that DD continued to re-evaluate its structures to ensure a sustainable business going forward and that retrenchments were always a last resort, “but may regrettably become a necessity as the company restructures to meet operational and business requirements."  With offices in 58 countries and 31,000 employees, DD is one of the biggest IT services providers globally.  Among DD’s key companies are telecoms service provider, Internet Solutions.
