Salary benchmarks

Our take

Formed in 2017 as part of a merger with Computer Sciences Corporation, DXC has swiftly developed into a global leader in the digital transformation space, providing IT services to numerous enterprise businesses, including over half of FTSE 500-listed companies. Operating across diverse fields such as aerospace, banking, life sciences and transportation, DXC offers a full suite of data analytics, cloud technology, IT consulting and cybersecurity services to help support modernisation in almost any sector.

DXC’s rapid expansion has led to some teething problems. After a rash of large acquisitions shortly after its founding (Tribidge, Molina Medicaid Solutions and Luxoft to name just a few), DXC then went through a period of restructuring, reducing its headcount in some of its markets to allow it to compete with rivals in the IT consulting space such as Deloitte. This has paid off as DXC has returned to profitability after several years of operating at a loss while it consolidated.

DXC had a major PR win in 2022, partnering with Manchester United to be its sleeve sponsor and to help drive the club’s digital transformation. DXC is planning to move forward with a back-to-basics focus on its cybersecurity offering and is seeing major growth in this sector. It is also focusing development on its DXC Platform X technology, having formed a partnership with Dynatrace in 2022 to improve its speed and efficiency.
