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 had 98,000 employees of which 47,000 employees in countries such as India, the Philippines, Eastern Europe, and Vietnam.[16]

Acquisitions

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

In 2018, it announced 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 then owned 83% of Luxoft. The deal closed in June 2019.[19]

Programs and sponsorships

Dandelion Program

Piloted in Adelaide, Australia, in 2014; the DXC Dandelion Program has grown to over 100 employees in Australia,[20] working with more than 240 organizations in 71 countries to acquire sustainable employment for individuals with autism.[21] In June 2021, DXC piloted the Dandelion Program in the UK.

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] From the 2022/23 premier league season DXC will become the new sleeve sponsor for Manchester United.
