Not been on this site for a while. I don’t think I have seen the share price so low. Did that turnaround ship crash in aug 2019, then?
The tech debt in DXC is one that needs sorting out first before preaching to the rest. Although, as I recall DXC never really had a robust governance over its portfolio management. It’s technology inventory was a spaghetti of legacy end-of life systems that could never interface to other systems (not quite Digital cross connect). No real Application lifecycle management, no standards that were, well standard across the enterprise (platform X lol). No real periodic, if not risk-driven, evaluation of the portfolio DXC employed nor a deep understanding of where and how their own data was being driven to support regulatory investigation (oh the fin of scrabbling around trying to patch holes before the external eyes were allowed access).
There was been no real understanding of how system failures could impact the business. I hope things have changed since then, but given that the profit margin is only 2% (lower than half the industry, and l coupled with the fact that your leader keeps shouting everything is fine and the outlook is great and then has to revise the outlook, causingreputational damage, theni can’t see a future for him. The company might survive until a buyout, for a private equity group or for someone who can see a dying duck and can see its potential in the right hands.
DXC needs to sort its own problems first (with AI?) would probably be a first step. Though, if AI were to assess DXC’s prospects, I suspect the answer would be: ‘computer say ‘no’’

The ultimate example of tech debt, pile of legacy bits of code/scripts thrown together, impossible to deploy or upgrade ...
More than half of DXC assets will be end of life and here we preach about tech debt to the world. Things can be ridiculous than this. But again, we forget, the ultimate goal is to swindle as much as they can before they eject enmasse.
What a load of bull - tech debt rofl
It's a 3rd year university students assignment and DXC are making out its something new/special.
It's just hot air waffle, no substance, just talk. It's like inventing BI from AI then doing a thesis on it.
Wonder how much they paid the grad?
Things are getting so desperate they have to use uni grad projects for publicity.
It is FPR time and tech debt will be a good goal for all of us to add to our Goals for FY24.

The results are stored on the blockchain whilst I'm out playing golf with M1.
Now get back to work you peasants before I make some more of you jobless.
Than you go into cloud. Nothing to gain for DXC.
