DXC Technology Company is an American IT services and software company that works primarily with large businesses and public-sector organizations. Its role is to keep their existing systems running while supporting their modernization. Although listed in the software category, DXC differs from a traditional software vendor: its business model relies heavily on consulting, integration, infrastructure operations and application maintenance. Its corporate website is dxc.com.
A company built on several generations of IT services
DXC Technology was established in April 2017 through the merger of Computer Sciences Corporation, known as CSC, with Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Enterprise Services business. The transaction brought together long-standing expertise in IT outsourcing, enterprise applications and support for complex IT systems. The group thus inherited long-established client relationships and a substantial technology legacy, some of which involves mission-critical environments that are difficult to replace quickly.
In 2019, the acquisition of Luxoft strengthened its capabilities in software engineering and digital development. This subsidiary contributes expertise particularly in the automotive and financial services sectors. DXC’s history thus reflects the evolution of the IT services market, which has shifted from large outsourcing contracts to projects combining operations, cloud and the development of new use cases.
Operating, integrating and transforming information systems
DXC’s activities cover several layers of information systems: infrastructure, cloud environments, cybersecurity, workstations, applications and data. The group can handle the day-to-day management of technical platforms, modernize legacy applications or integrate solutions offered by partner software vendors. Its work notably involves technologies from Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, SAP and ServiceNow.
This approach serves organizations that must balance service continuity with transformation. For a bank, insurer or industrial company, migrating to the cloud does not necessarily mean immediately replacing all legacy systems. DXC therefore also works on interconnecting, securing and gradually evolving these systems, often within hybrid architectures.
The group also has industry-specific software, particularly for insurance, along with sector expertise used to adapt projects to clients’ operational and regulatory constraints. This is complemented by services related to data analytics and artificial intelligence, which require integration with existing processes and tools.
What next?
For DXC, the challenge is to evolve its IT outsourcing legacy toward modernization services without neglecting the reliability of existing operations. Cloud, automation and artificial intelligence offer opportunities, but also increase pressure on costs and billing models. Its ability to capitalize on its industry knowledge, update its teams’ skills and demonstrate the tangible benefits of transformation will be decisive. In this competitive market, execution quality remains just as important as technological promise.
