DXC Technology Expands Strategic Partnership with Launch of a Microsoft Azure Digital Transformation Practice
July 11 2019 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), the world’s leading independent,
end-to-end IT services company, today announced the expansion of
its strategic partnership with Microsoft through the formation of a
global Microsoft Azure Digital Transformation Practice to
accelerate client migration to the Microsoft Azure public cloud
with greater efficiency and agility.
Organizations are increasingly seeking ways to accelerate their
migration to cloud and efficiently scale their digital strategies.
“The worldwide public cloud services market is projected to grow
17.5 percent in 2019 to total $214.3 billion, up from $182.4
billion in 2018, according to Gartner, Inc.”*
“Organizations need cloud-related services to get onboarded onto
public clouds and to transform their operations as they adopt
public cloud services,” said Sid Nag, research vice president at
Gartner. “Currently almost 19 percent of cloud budgets are spent on
cloud-related services, such as cloud consulting, implementation,
migration and managed services, and Gartner expects that this rate
will increase to 28 percent by 2022.”*
The DXC and Microsoft Azure Digital Transformation Practice will
focus on helping organizations manage the pace of technology change
by bringing greater agility to the creation and execution of public
cloud strategies. For example, DXC is teaming with Alstom, a world
leader in sustainable mobility that is migrating its systems to the
Azure public cloud.
“The public cloud is naturally the key component of our
transformation,” said Stéphane Detruiseux, chief information
security officer and technology vice president, Alstom, which
offers systems, equipment and services for the transport
sector.
About the Practice
DXC and Microsoft will co-invest in the development of products
and services built for Azure, and go to market jointly with sales,
consulting and solution delivery teams composed of DXC’s Azure
professionals and Microsoft architects and technical
strategists.
“The DXC and Microsoft Azure Digital Transformation Practice
enhances our deep and long-standing relationship with Microsoft,”
said Dan Hushon, DXC senior vice president and chief technology
officer. “Through this initiative, we will provide clients with a
highly integrated team approach to modernizing their IT systems on
Azure. The result will be a reduced time-to-digital and a more
rapid movement of client workloads from legacy IT to a modern cloud
architecture on Azure.”
Gavriella Schuster, corporate vice president, One Commercial
Partner, Microsoft, said, “The expanded partnership deepens the
long-standing DXC Technology and Microsoft relationship to help
organizations more swiftly benefit from digital solutions through
Microsoft Azure. I am inspired by the digital transformation
stories from our clients who leverage the power of the Azure cloud.
Together, DXC and Microsoft will bring even greater innovation and
value to enterprises from Azure.”
The DXC and Microsoft Azure Digital Transformation Practice
further enhances DXC’s deep, established Microsoft expertise:
- DXC has achieved the highest level of Azure certification:
Azure Expert Managed Service Provider (MSP). This certification —
achieved by only a few Microsoft partners — recognizes DXC’s
capabilities in providing Azure cloud services.
- The company is one of Microsoft’s largest Cloud Solution
Provider (CSP) resellers and providers of software licensing
services.
- DXC Technology signed a ground-breaking five-year strategic
arrangement to collaborate with Microsoft, leveraging its Microsoft
Technology Centre in Sydney, Australia, to help transition clients
in Australia and New Zealand to Microsoft Azure.
- The company recently became an official Microsoft HoloLens
partner and part of the Mixed Reality Partner Program (MRPP) and
provides an expansive range of mixed reality solutions for
clients.
- In 2018, DXC launched the industry’s first Analytics Migration
Factory for Microsoft Azure in Bangalore, India, and added
factories in Manila, Philippines, and Warsaw, Poland, for
development, delivery and ongoing support services designed for
analytics workload migration to Azure.
- In addition to its Azure capabilities, DXC has continued to
scale its award-winning Microsoft Dynamics 365 through targeted
acquisitions, including Eclipse, Sable37, eBECS, Luxoft and the
service business of EG A/S. The company also has deep
industry-leading solutions such as DXC Health360™ and DXC
Offender360™.
DXC is a globally recognized Microsoft Partner and receives
in-depth access to a variety of resources and early product
information. Resources include priority access to a support team of
Microsoft certified systems engineers, non-disclosure evaluation of
new products and technologies, as well as planning tools and events
to keep up to speed on the latest Microsoft product developments
and future direction.
DXC has more than 900 Azure professional certifications, 900
analytics clients and 8,000 analytics and AI professionals
worldwide. DXC will increase its global Azure certifications to
5,000 in the next three years.
