Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

It’s been a few months now. Any info on how’s it going?

@vr Devils advocate but does Capgemini automated delivery center necessarily mean India?

@k6 Think you find the situation has expanded out now with the UK trade deal with India and info as follows:-

For Individuals

Police Officers/Staff: To join the Met Police as a police officer, individuals must be a British citizen, an EU/EEA citizen with settled status, a Commonwealth citizen, or a foreign national with indefinite leave to remain in the UK without restrictions.

British citizens of Indian ethnicity are fully eligible to apply and are encouraged to do so as part of efforts to make the police force representative of the population it serves.

Contractors: Individuals working as contractors for the Met Police must also meet stringent security vetting requirements (up to Developed Vetting level for some sensitive posts). As long as an individual has the legal right to work in the UK and passes the required security checks, their nationality in itself is not a barrier for non-reserved posts.

We've had offshore Indian workers working on projects plenty of time provided they have the clearance even during CSC days

@dy HP:ES had West Midland police but that fizzles out around 2019 after the merger.

You’re talking sh-t pal and it needs calling out. Yeah we have issues with DXC but stick to the truth pls.

Met Police do their own SC and it’s harder to get than MoD SC!!

Nobody from India or anywhere else works on met police.

@hx same old story

@ez no i was saying the margins are so poor that delivery will struggle and change orders will be made to get more money or the product will just fail

Offshore resources will be allowed providing DXC meets UK security and data protection requirements; has full compliance with contractual clauses on confidentiality, audit, and incident reporting and that sensitive data is either anonymized or processed within UK/EU jurisdictions unless explicit safeguards and approvals are in place. [Procurement Act 2023, UK DPA 2018) and s/w security code of practice. Old systems. Steam built. DXC should make some cash.

@em you're implying that the margin is good then? And when DXC fails they'll be required to lower the price?

Can’t recall a single large UK project that actually made it to the finish line. they either get axed by the customer or quietly put down by the company once the write-offs get too embarrassing. I’m amazed they even managed to dig up a reference. There aren’t exactly hordes of UK clients lining up to vouch for us, least of all in the public sector.

Lol. Have you seen the margin on this! Im expecting change orders within the first three months and then the downward spiral.

@cw do you mean UK contract wins?

In 2016 csc won a deal with... The met police.

If you mean elsewhere, same year there was a $100m contract with (Australia) NSW transport.

There were still a few things coming along back then, despite M1's trashing of csc.... But of course the worst was yet to come.

I'm pretty sure DXC has already been involved with MPS previously and I dont think it turned out well.
Can anyone confirm ?

Consortium of partners

Who partnered with them?

Did we overpromise — or just give it away as a loss leader hoping for some good news?
It can be done, but only if we strip out the wasted time, invest in modern systems, and, above all, reward the people actually doing the work.

Not this nonsense of bringing in contractors on 4x the salary, expecting existing staff to train them, and then acting like that’s all fine while their own reward stays at 0%.

Surely 15 years is an exaggeration. No big wins since 2010?

Fair play to people that’s a very good UKI win, might replace one accounts that’s in Runoff.

The Met again? Went so well last time and back then we even had people to work on it.

UKI Del boy Allison was buzzing with the win.

CSC had Met police before but lost it.

Its good 9 year contract let see if they can deliver and keep it, they have to reward and keep the staff to perform.
