DXC Technology is honored to have been recognized by NelsonHall as a Leader in its NEAT vendor evaluation for End-to-End Cloud Infrastructure Management Services for the second time in a row. NelsonHall has identified DXC as a Leader overall, and with specific capabilities around cloud management, cloud orchestration, Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Being identified as a Leader in the Overall market segment “reflects DXC’s overall ability to meet future client requirements as well as delivering immediate benefits to its cloud IT infrastructure management services clients,” the report states.
In the report, NelsonHall writes that "DXC has built a model, the Modern IT Estate, that looks at the entire IT landscape from centralized infrastructure to the edge, and the business applications that run in that environment (rapid business application development and deployment, distributed cloud and edge, data from the edge and agile business platform). The model also looks at data and where it sits, technology platforms (utility and consumption-based services, cloud management control plane, and continuous modernization) to drive the modern IT estate, and the process and operations (AIOps, CloudOps, site reliability engineering [SRE], intelligent automation, and observability) that underly it, all linked together with a secure ecosystem."
Strengths
In its assessment of DXC's leadership in end-to-end cloud infrastructure management services, NelsonHall cites strengths including:
- Investment in IP and accelerators, including DXC Platform X™, an AIOps-enabled delivery platform that self-diagnoses and self-heals IT estates on-premises and in cloud environments.
- A global cloud footprint across multiple industry verticals
- Industry-specific capabilities with hyperscalers (Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud), including GenAI proof of concepts (POCs) and use case development.
- An integrated delivery model across all layers of the stack (apps, platform, and infrastructure), including dedicated DevSecOps and site reliability engineering resources supporting CloudOps.
- Zero-touch automation, agile delivery and cloud optimization capabilities.
- Investments in ESG and sustainability across cloud and infrastructure.
Strategic Direction
NelsonHall also points out that DXC's strategic direction for the next 12 to 18 months includes among its initiatives:
- Continued investment in Platform X, including a client reporting and analytics hub, and building intelligent operations on top of the Platform.
- Increasing focus and investment on GenAI with Microsoft Copilot, Google Cloud Gemini and AWS Amazon Q.
- Increasing the ecosystem of third-party tools to drive further automation use cases.
- Investing in digital reskilling, by methods such as increasing hyperscaler (including AI and GenAI) certifications and reskilling existing IT infrastructure personnel in cloud technologies.
Focus on the customer
DXC takes a client-centric approach across cloud and infrastructure services, utilizing cross-company capabilities, including application, analytics, and engineering, and providing advisory services across infrastructure, AI, and applications, according to the report.
John Laherty, senior IT services research analyst, NelsonHall, said, “DXC engages clients at any stage of their cloud journey, driving business outcomes across cost, agility and resiliency, and developing new business models. DXC utilizes its Precision Guided Modernization in support of migration and modernization, with a data-driven approach, and leverages its DXC Platform X AIOps-enabled delivery platform and CloudOps Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) approach to operations. It has also invested significantly in hyperscaler co-innovation, including GenAI, and key capabilities in support of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and sustainability.”
The report states that NelsonHall expects DXC's approach to CloudOps (SRE), DevSecOps, and its agile delivery model to resonate with clients who want a more predictable IT ecosystem.
