1,000 customers

ASHBURN, Va., Nov. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- DXC Technology
(NYSE: DXC), a leading Fortune 500 global technology services
company, and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), today
announced they are expanding their long-standing relationship to
help customers accelerate their journey to modern, cloud-centric
IT.
The companies will consult with nearly 1,000 of DXC's largest IT
Outsourcing (ITO) customers to accelerate their journeys to
the world's leading cloud. Through moving their workloads to AWS,
DXC's customers will have access to the highest levels of
reliability and security, as well as the ability to increase
innovation, while lowering the cost of running IT infrastructure.
Additionally, DXC, a leading Global Systems Integrator, has
selected AWS as its preferred cloud provider to drive innovation
and efficiencies across its organization.
"We are proud to be working with AWS to modernize the IT
infrastructure of our customers," said Mike
Salvino, Chairman, President and CEO, DXC.
"This expanded agreement incentivizes us and our
customers to accelerate the migration of their core enterprise
systems to the cloud. We will leverage AWS's leading
generative AI, analytics, compute, database, machine learning, and
storage technologies to give our customers an ideal platform to
modernize and grow their critical workloads. We expect this
transformation path will also contribute to transitioning DXC from
operational stability to higher performance."
"Together, AWS and DXC will help change what's possible for
enterprise customers and set them up for long-term success," said
Adam Selipsky, AWS CEO.
"Enterprises that lean into the cloud see immediate benefits such
as increased innovation, lower costs, with the ability to create
new and differentiated opportunities for growth. AWS is committed
to partnering with DXC to transform its service delivery into a
cloud-centric model by training more than 15,000 professionals
on AWS."
As part of this multi-year expansion of their partnership, DXC
and AWS will build three key strategic elements to benefit
customers:
Accelerated Cloud Migration and
Modernization
Customers are increasingly transforming their core business
platforms from on-premises environments, that are typical of legacy
IT outsourcing, to the flexibility, reliability, and scalability of
the cloud. DXC and AWS are collaborating to scale their
migration methodologies, solution accelerators, and combined
expertise in large-scale cloud migrations. After the initial
migration, DXC and AWS will continue to jointly engage with these
customers to help them on their modernization journeys.
Workforce Transformation
AWS and DXC are collaborating to significantly expand and deepen
the talent pool for cloud skills at DXC. Both companies are
committing to jointly train and certify 15,000 DXC professionals
over the next five years, using role-based training and learning
experiences. This underscores DXC as a leader in migrating
workloads from legacy IT environments to the cloud and managing
complex IT estates. Customers will have access to an expanded
bench of highly trained and advanced AWS certified resources to
support their cloud migration and modernization objectives.
Asset Transformation
Together, AWS and DXC will help customers exit aging data center
facilities and IT assets in favor of agile, secure, and sustainable
cloud technology provided by AWS. This will accelerate cloud
adoption and drive down operating costs for DXC and its customers.
DXC also plans to divest some of its existing data centers to
interested parties.
AWS and DXC customers,
stakeholders respond to the strategic transformation
agreement:
"This is great news," said Silvia
Gabrielle, CIO, Ferrari S.p.A. "Ferrari works closely with
DXC and AWS as we leverage technological innovation in pursuing
excellence in design and craftsmanship. Both companies understand
how important the reliability, security and scalability of our
information and communications technology (ICT) systems are to our
business. These are the right partners to collaborate with, as our
will to progress continues to drive us."
"We are delighted to partner with both DXC and AWS to help us on
our digital first transformation journey as we bring together our
decades of experience in the insurance market, the expertise of our
people, and the power of technology, to deliver speed, energy,
agility, and resilience to our customers," said Bob James, COO, Lloyds.
"Operational excellence is critical to meet the world's energy
demands, and Baker Hughes continues transforming our infrastructure
so we can best take energy forward, making it safer, cleaner and
more efficient for people and the planet," said Baker Hughes Chief
Technology Officer Anthony Krebs.
"The alliance between AWS and DXC, two industry leaders, will allow
us to further accelerate the optimization of our operations."
"A modern IT environment is critical for enterprises expanding
their digital engagement with customers and taking advantage of
data to improve decision making," said Rick
Villars, Group Vice President, IDC. "This transformational
partnership between DXC and AWS addresses the legacy infrastructure
shortcomings, workforce skill deficits, and excessively
capital-intense cost models that are the biggest barriers
preventing timely modernization."
