This is the type of wasted bull sh-- that we get , WTF does this even mean?

It is crucial to engage our clients early in the deal cycle and to emphasize the quality implications of delivering from our industrialized, at-scale locations. By actively shaping new deals, renewals and work migrations per Work Placement Guidelines (WPGs), Labor Location Indexes (LLIs), we can distinguish DXC’s delivery capability from our competitors.

All DXC Technology labor demand must meet or exceed the WPG and LLI guidance, and use the approved delivery locations. If you cannot adhere to the published WPG, you must use the WPG Exception Process to gain approval for a deviation.

When I worked at DXC. I remember a lot of public sector clients in Europe hated the whole offshore model and just saw it as another Business risk.

Other clients didn't notice any reduction in pricing, but did notice a reduction in the actual 'value' they received for every $ hour.

I seem to recall that Quality control was non-existent from offshore delivery and one exasperated retail client (having suffered a poor cloud implementation) was on the phone asking: "Do you guys even TEST anything anymore?".

2 life Sciences clients in Europe failing to hear back on their escalated incidents asked: "Where the hell do these things go when we tell you about them?" Truth is, I don't anyone knows who to chase for anything these days, from what I hear.

Oh happy days at DXC. Lol

So cost = low;

Price = still high;

Margin = still low;

Value = Reducing

Rework = increasing

Cost of preparing for offshore = unexpectedly high during preparation for transfer

This was already a requirement in HPE where we needed to defend internally the few positions we kept in high cost locations. If it could be done offshore, it needed to be done offshore.

if your are looking for cheap labor, DXC offers it .. obviously outsource it to 3rd world countries who are ready to work at one-tenth the cost.

Basically - we need to tell the clients that using off-shore, cheap labor pushes the price down, and the quality of the work should be the same. As we off-shore more than anyone else, and pay them less than most, our price is lower.

And if you believe that...I have a bridge you may be interested in
