DXC Technology is an American multinational information technology (IT) services and consulting company headquartered Ashburn, Virginia U.S.[4]

History[]

Creation[]

DXC Technology was founded on April 3, 2017 when the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE) spun off its Enterprise Services business and merged it with Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC).[5] At the time of its creation, DXC Technology had revenues of $25 billion, employed 170,000 people and operated in 70 countries.[6] By June 2021, the employee count of DXC has come down to 134,000.[7]

The spinoff from Hewlett Packard Enterprise did not include two parts of the Enterprise Services segment: the Mphasis Limited reporting unit and the Communications and Media Solutions product group.[5]

In India, the company started a three-year plan to reduce the number of offices in the country from 50 to 26, and reduce headcount by 5.9% (around 10,000) employees.[8] With about 43,000 employees (more than 1/3rd of its workforce) in India, the company is restructuring its workforce to meet its new revenue profile.[9]

In 2017, DXC split off its US public sector segment to create a new company, Perspecta Inc.[10]

In 2019 Mike Salvino was named president and CEO of DXC Technology. He previously served as group chief executive for Accenture Operations. [11]

In February 2021, French technology services and consulting firm Atos ended talks for a potential acquisition of DXC.[12][13] Atos has proposed for US$10 billion including debt for acquisition.[14][15]

By June 2021, DXC has 98,000 delivery employees and 47,000 employees in the global innovation and delivery centres (GIDC). The largest among them is India, followed by the Philippines, Eastern Europe, and Vietnam. DXC is on a three-pronged acceleration journey – the first phase was the stabilisation phase that was completed in the financial year 2020-21.[16] The next one is the foundation phase. In the 2022 fiscal year, DXC expects to enter the acceleration phase.

Acquisitions[]

In 2017, the company completed its first acquisition, buying Tribridge, a provider of Microsoft Dynamics 365 solutions.[17]

In 2018, it announced several additional acquisitions, including Molina Medicaid Solutions (previously part of Molina Healthcare), Argodesign and two ServiceNow partners, BusinessNow and TESM.[18]

In January 2019, DXC Technology acquired Luxoft. According to information from the SEC database, DXC Technology now owns 83% of Luxoft shares. The deal closed in June 2019.[19]

Programs and sponsorships[]

Sport[]

The company sponsors Team Penske[22] with 2016 Series Champion and 2019 Indianapolis 500 winner Simon Pagenaud, and in 2018 became title sponsor of IndyCar Series race DXC Technology 600.[23] DXC is also a partner of Australian Rugby Union team Brumbies.[24]
