What are the odds that the U.K./EU/Dutch Government will want to procure IT infrastructure from an American Company? Only thing going for us is the relatively large European workforce.

@np+1jr6d9657 The biggest one is Accenture which I mentioned in my original comment but there's also Deloittr & PWC.
Oh hang on, I forgot about Cap Gemini.
It's only Cap Gemini.
"why not just use a European mega corp"
Like who?
None of the major league players are European apart from atos AFAIK.
Most are American with the rest being Indian.
@gx+1jr6d9657 On paper I suppose. But if I'm in the U.K. goverment do I really care when the people controlling the company are based im Virginia? (I'm an american so I really do need an outside perspective)
@gk+1jr6d9657 OK but the point is why not just use a European mega corp vs an american one?
Except that in the UK at least, we aren't actually "DXC" at all, we are a private limited UK company called "EntServ UK", so no one is buying anything from an American company as far as the books go

Nobody is using atos. Atos is a hotter mess than even dxc....which is saying something.
@c3+1jr6d9657 Sure but you would use Accenture/Atos etc as your system intergrator over DXC. DXC's not a cloud company so the co-locations seem like only a marginal advantage.
Meh in that argument U.K. public sector wouldn’t use azure / AWS / Google.
Folks, if you can leave - for those who can’t, stay, and milk this sh------e of a so called company for as long as you can, or as long as it suits. Best of British luck to you all.

Trump has nuked the whole economy. It'll put an end to cr-p companies make money doing nothing. The only problem now is that what looked like a reasonable pension, and years of I can't see this lasting so just going to put my money away for that rainy day - Trumps devastated those investments as well. I lost all of my investment gains overnight.
DXC is a shîll company that never met government incentives to open up shop in several cities. Bad at paying bills and worse at meeting obligations. Good riddance!
