DXC Technology
A global business-to-business IT services and consulting company created through the combination of CSC and Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Enterprise Services business.
Last updated August 31, 2026
Overview
DXC Technology is an American multinational information technology services and consulting company serving enterprises, governments, and other large institutions. The company was established on April 3, 2017, through the combination of Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) and the Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). The transaction brought together CSC's consulting, systems integration, and outsourcing capabilities with HPE's infrastructure and enterprise-services operations, creating a large business-to-business technology provider with a global delivery footprint. DXC's activities span managed infrastructure, cloud transformation, application modernization, enterprise applications, analytics, cybersecurity, workplace technology, software engineering, and industry-specific technology platforms. Its customers include large commercial organizations and public-sector bodies, with work often involving the operation, modernization, and integration of complex technology environments rather than the sale of a single mass-market software product. The company's offerings have included DXC Bionix, DXC Platform X, DXC Security, and technology platforms for sectors such as insurance. At its formation, DXC began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DXC. The newly created company initially reported a very large global workforce and a customer base distributed across dozens of countries. It subsequently pursued a restructuring program intended to reduce its physical-office footprint and align its workforce with changing demand, particularly in application outsourcing, infrastructure services, and cloud-oriented delivery. India became one of the company's most important delivery locations, alongside the Philippines, Central Europe, Vietnam, and other regional centers. DXC also reshaped its portfolio through divestitures and acquisitions. In 2018, it separated its United States public-sector business into Perspecta, a separately traded company. It acquired Tribridge and Concerto Cloud Services in 2017, expanded its ServiceNow-related capabilities through BusinessNow and TESM, and acquired the digital engineering and software services company Luxoft in 2019. These moves reflected an effort to combine traditional outsourcing scale with cloud, software engineering, digital transformation, and industry-specialist capabilities. Leadership changed materially after formation. Mike Salvino, formerly an Accenture group executive, became president and chief executive officer in September 2019 and later became chairman of the board. He stepped down as CEO in December 2023. Raul Fernandez, previously a DXC director, became president and CEO effective February 1, 2024. The company has continued operating as a publicly listed global IT-services provider, although its index position changed when it left the S&P 500 and entered the S&P SmallCap 600 in October 2023. Beyond commercial services, DXC has supported inclusion, community, and sports initiatives. Its Dandelion Program, first piloted in Adelaide, Australia, focuses on sustainable employment pathways for people with autism and has subsequently expanded to additional markets. DXC has also used sponsorships in motorsport, rugby, and football, including partnerships involving Team Penske, the Brumbies, Manchester United, and Scuderia Ferrari. As of the reference period in late 2024, DXC was reported to employ more than 125,000 people in more than 70 countries, with a substantial workforce in India.
History
DXC Technology was created on April 3, 2017, through the merger of Computer Sciences Corporation and Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Enterprise Services business. The transaction formed a major business-to-business IT services company with capabilities covering consulting, systems integration, outsourcing, infrastructure management, and enterprise technology. DXC listed its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DXC and initially operated across a broad international network serving commercial and public-sector customers. The company's first years were marked by integration and restructuring. In July 2017, DXC announced plans to reduce its number of offices in India from 50 to 26 over three years and to reduce its workforce there by approximately 10,000 positions. India nevertheless remained a central delivery and engineering location because of its scale in application outsourcing and software development. In 2018, DXC separated its U.S. public-sector segment into Perspecta, narrowing the company's portfolio and creating a new independent public-sector technology company. DXC pursued acquisitions to strengthen its digital and industry capabilities. In 2017 it acquired enterprise software company Tribridge and its affiliate Concerto Cloud Services. In 2018 it announced acquisitions including Molina Medicaid Solutions, Argodesign, BusinessNow, and TESM. In January 2019, DXC agreed to acquire Luxoft, a digital engineering and software services company; the transaction closed in June 2019. These deals complemented DXC's legacy infrastructure and outsourcing business with cloud, user-experience, ServiceNow-related, and software-engineering capabilities. Leadership changed in September 2019 when Mike Salvino became president and CEO. During the following years, DXC continued to operate through global innovation and delivery centers. The company reported a workforce distributed across more than 70 countries, with India as its largest delivery location and significant operations also in the Philippines, Central Europe, and Vietnam. In 2021, Atos ended discussions about a possible acquisition of DXC. In May 2022, Salvino was appointed chairman of the board, succeeding Ian Read after Read's retirement. DXC's corporate profile changed again in the public markets in October 2023 when it left the S&P 500 and moved to the S&P SmallCap 600. In December 2023, Salvino stepped down as CEO with immediate effect. Raul Fernandez, who had served on the board, became president and CEO on February 1, 2024. The company has also developed social and sponsorship programs. The Dandelion Program, first piloted in Adelaide in 2014, seeks sustainable employment for people with autism and has worked with organizations in numerous countries. DXC later piloted the program in the United Kingdom. Its sports-marketing activities have included sponsorship of Team Penske, title sponsorship of the DXC Technology 600 IndyCar race, partnership with the Australian Brumbies, sleeve sponsorship of Manchester United, and a multi-year partnership with Scuderia Ferrari beginning in 2023. By late 2024, reference material described DXC as employing more than 125,000 people in over 70 countries, including more than 43,000 employees across 12 Indian sites in seven major cities.
