Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

DXC Stock at 1st opening $57.95 and today closed at $62.00 so it;s still making some money. When it drops below $57.95 that's when it's time to worry. Glad I sold most of my 401K company stock when it was in the $90.00 range.

Good to see ML lose all that money. Hope it goes down more, someone will by the Legacy business and then it will take a while to cut though all the people that are supporting it. So have hope for another 6 months to a year

Are there any IT leaders left at DXC? I thought they were all fired. McKinsey must wake up and pinch themselves every morning.

A toxic environment with no incentive and a sword of daemocles hanging over everyone's head is not conjucive to productivity or growth. A failure to attract the level of new skills at the rate of removing the critical staff and lacklustre organic growth and the company leader saying that his own company has failed to evolve. No Sh1t Sherlock! Whose fault is that?

If you continue to do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always got.

Watch the body language. ML comes across as a circumlocuting snake. The others come across as scared sh*tless. I can see why: promising 2% revenue growth coming off a base of -10%.

So your saying it’s not “Cloud” Per-say it’s just AWS and Microsoft’s has built a better outsourcing solution

Every thing is cloud, everything is accessed via a network so STOP all this BS about in the Cloud it’s just a better way to provision virtual machines.

"DXC failed to evolve"???

No, I'm going to agree with Mikey on this point - there wasn't any "evolve" that would have left DXC in the place it once was.

The foreseeable future is AWS/Azure and nothing anyone could have done short of having the money to build either of those would have made any difference.

How well are cloud offerings from traditional IT players going?

Anyway, its got nothing to do with how good your cloud is or how good your tech support is, its got everything to do with how little it costs for the client.

Cloud is only attractive to the client CIOs because its cheap.

@W7B8y0V-ybe Yes, Azure does allow firewall zones between servers, and allow only certain ports between servers. The backup and restore functionality is significantly better than that offered by HP Data Protector.

The reality is cloud is ITO, you're running your machines on a server in someone else's datacenter, the difference between DXC and a cloud provider is that instead of being charged a fortune to spin up a new box, it generally being done wrong, and stuck in a queue because they don't have the resources do to it - you can do it in seconds via the cloud providers portals. You can get rid of those staff who managed the relationship with DXC replace them with engineers and you have a superior solution for no extra cost.

Those 20 staff with questionable technical knowledge in a far away land who don't care about you or your business - you can replace them with a python/powershell script. DXC failed to evolve and no number of spin-mergers is going to prevent it from dying.

transition to cloud and reduce cost doesn't reduce cost. Does theAWS, Azsure Cloud allow firewall zones between Data Base, application servers and Web servers. Does it allow only certain ports to be open between servers?

How good is the back and restore, can u restore a non-bootable server?

The reality is clients are having to change or expire. Technology is impacting our clients and they are being forced to transition to cloud and reduce cost. Why does anyone believe we are excluded from that. Gone are the days of ITO. Adapt or expire people. Gone are the days of chubby manager sitting in their chairs pushing work down. I came from a CPG company and I see a lot of potential for DXC. It I also see a lot of employee from different levels and departments stuck in time.
