WASHINGTON – J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. said on Wednesday it was canceling a $5 billion outsourcing deal with IBM Corp., and planned to rehire about 4,000 workers who had been transferred to IBM under the pact.

IBM said in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing that the cancellation of its biggest financial services outsourcing deal would help its 2005 earnings per share, and would have no impact on its full-year model.


J.P. Morgan, the No. 2 U.S. bank, said following its recent merger with Bank One, it could better manage its own technology and infrastructure. It also said there will be no material impact from the cancellation.
