For the most part you hear this corporate BS time and again and this includes the Bionics program that Hilton announced this week. The bottom line is DXC are broke, have zero ambition other than to raise the stock price and management collect big bonuses.
Mark my works and you can book mark this post and make me eat my words, DXC can't ever develop AI with their poor processes and draconian cuts.
To put things into perspective, ask yourself what state of the art tool you use in your sector? Do you even use industry standard? 8/10 I will expect the answer to be a resounding no.
I know for a fact we have windows server 2008 on many servers in my sector, we have SQL server and that's 2005 I think. The applications we work with are at least 10years old with zero updates. Zero updates because there is no money.
These clowns in DXC still pay for USD, it's taken them around 8 years and they still have not migrated all their systems across to Remedy or SNOW. For PM we use lotus notes and have been using that for about 10years. For change we use a system that if you try and run more than a few jobs the whole thing falls over.
Needless to say AI, machine learning, robotics is just BS to cut jobs. Hell DXC don't even have a consolidated global time sheet app, and it took them until 2014 to get Workday for HR and even that's running on 50% as most of the feature have not been activated. I'm in the US and they don't even know how many staff are based on site and how many are home workers.
