Overview
DXC Technology Company is a US-headquartered IT services firm formed on 1 April 2017 through the merger of Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) and the Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Reported FY2025 revenues were US$13.0 billion, with approximately 130,000 employees in more than 70 countries. The firm is headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia (moved from Tysons in 2021), listed on NYSE under ticker DXC, and led by chief executive Raul Fernandez, who joined in February 2024 from Vincit Group, succeeding Mike Salvino.
Cloud migration is delivered through DXC's Cloud, Infrastructure, and ITO business unit, complemented by Analytics and Engineering, Applications, and Security units. The firm operates strategic partnerships with AWS (Premier Tier Consulting Partner), Microsoft (Azure Expert MSP), Google Cloud (Premier Partner), Oracle, IBM, ServiceNow, SAP, and VMware. DXC Platform X is the firm's intelligent operations platform that consolidates monitoring, automation, FinOps, and AI-led incident management across migrated workloads. The firm holds approximately 35,000 hyperscaler certifications and operates global delivery centres in Bangalore, Chennai, Manila, Sofia, Sydney, and Salt Lake City.
DXC Technology is typically a fit for enterprises with large legacy infrastructure outsourcing relationships — particularly insurance carriers, aerospace and defence groups, and continental European industrial firms — that need cloud migration combined with cost-takeout outsourcing transformation. The firm has executed major cloud migrations for clients including HSBC, Aviva, Bank of Ireland, and Deutsche Telekom. DXC has navigated a multi-year turnaround under successive CEOs, has thinner senior strategy consulting capability than Accenture or Deloitte, and is rarely the top brand for greenfield cloud-native engineering.

Strengths
- Strong continental European delivery footprint, particularly in Germany, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden, and Austria
- Deep insurance industry capability — DXC operates property and casualty and life insurance platforms used by major global carriers
- Premier Tier or top-tier partner across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud
- DXC Platform X provides differentiated operations and FinOps platform for managed multi-cloud workloads
- Strong managed services and infrastructure outsourcing pedigree inherited from CSC and HPE Enterprise Services
- Competitive pricing on outsourcing transformation deals where cost-takeout commitments matter more than premium consulting
Limitations
- Multi-year revenue decline since the 2017 merger has constrained investment capacity and contributed to senior partner attrition
- Senior strategy consulting and industry advisory capability is thinner than Accenture, Deloitte, or McKinsey
- Brand recognition outside infrastructure procurement teams is lower than peers
- Delivery quality and account continuity has been inconsistent across the post-merger period; reference checks remain variable
- Less proprietary cloud tooling depth versus Infosys Cobalt or HCLTech CloudSMART
- Limited mid-market and small enterprise traction — DXC's commercial model favours large multi-year contracts
