DXC does not spin up a truly new platform in 12–18 months, especially given their engineering capacity, budget constraints, and the leadership churn you’ve been tracking.
But here’s the real story:
OASIS is built on the same underlying lineage as Platform X — but DXC is deliberately avoiding saying that publicly.
@1cb Of course she is. That is why whole teams were wiped off, so she can keep her salary and still sell BS. DXC never ever tried to learn...
Is the new account setup for one of clients on this new system. The one with the 5 page instruction manual, and requirement to still email a load of people for approval before it can be done? Because of that's what they call improvement I give up!!!
It's still Computing Reimagined, Automated Procedures
Did you see what I did there :)
So is the head of product development - that useless lady back in action?
It's not an oasis. It's just a mirage. Nothing to see here. Chasing false hope.
Who is the idlioiot that is rejuvenating the dead platform dxc - platform x - the AI infused Platform X?
The market obviously isn't impressed. Stock price down $2 in 10 days. Whichis the only metric the execs seemed concerned about.
They just keep renaming, rebranding and retelling the same ol'story.
All hype and spin. One last-ditch attempt to get the share price up? We can't even implement an off-the-shelf time recording system, let alone spin up a brand-new, never-seen-before AI service.
Nobody is trusted to do anything. And that is the whole problem. I ask you: why isn't the PM responsible for the project given a top-level WBS code, allowed to set up whatever sub-pots they think appropriate, and then allowed to add the relevant staff themsevles? Why does it all have to all go through a team who simply do what they're told (though at least there's an email audit), yet are supposedly "swamped", so everything sits in a queue for a month now?
Who invents these stupid, time-wasting processes? Let me guess...
Meanwhile, I suspect what will really happen is the Oasis system also can't/won't be trusted to do anything, so there'll be an army of people approving its orders, another team implementing them so it can't mess anything up on its own, and a whole set of people left hanging around on the likely chance it doesn't work — plus maybe in the hope DXC gets sold off and the new buyer has to deal with us all anyway.
Did any of the people working on Oasis get a pay rise or bonus for completion? I also cynically suspect not.
I don’t think companies will pay additional for this service. It really has to be very reliable and accurate. I am sure they will say this will replace humans (employees) but will have to wait and see how it all plays out.
