"anyone remember back when CSC ANZ purchased UXC and were were told that 1+1=3 (meaning that the sum parts of the 2 orgs added up to a better outcome).
Wonder how that worked out ?"
For that decision, I will forever despise Brad Stroop. I still remember him sitting in his office and smugly telling us just how wonderful things were going to be now that UXC was part of then-CSC. Fast-frward six months, and Brad has walked out with his millions and DXC started to thoroughly eliminate everything that was good about UXC.
I moved on a few years ago now. Everyone of value did the same thing over time (the attrition rate at one stage was incredible; 4 - 5 resignations per week); the people that were left struggled. Now DXC sold the whole things to E&Y, which says everything you need to know about how it all worked out.
