I don't think there were many ITO companies that were free of trauma after 2000 when Wall Street decided that now the internet was built, IT companies had no future.
First came the tidal wave of offshoring, then came the 2008 financial crash and finally all of the stupidity around on-premise private cloud when it was quite obvious that Amazon filling buildings with custom hardware would eventually make that pointless because you can't compete with the Bezos Bit Barns.
Then came the varying degrees of psychopathic leaderships that attempted to cut the companies up to make them as lean as Amazon.
In CSC's case there was a further bump in the road when the pre-Mikey CEO decided that attempting a record breaking deal with the UK's National Health Service was a smart move and the subsequent $1.5 billion loss combined with financial irregularities saw him out the door and Mikey in.
If it hadn't been for the stupid NHS project, CSC would never have had Mikey and things would have been different for us all.
Probably not a whole load better (if you consider my earlier points) but definitely not the insanity of DXC.
