DXC Technology and Amazon Web Services Forge Alliance to Accelerate Client Migrations to AWS

DXC Technology and Amazon Web Services have announced an agreement to build a multi-billion dollar integrated practice that will deliver application migration, digital transformation, and industry-specific services running on AWS to global Fortune 1000 clients.

The new practice builds on an existing DXC and AWS relationship and is the centerpiece of a multi-year agreement between the two companies that also encompasses joint development, marketing, sales, and delivery of AWS solutions.

“For many years, successful enterprises have relied on DXC’s expertise to manage their IT,” said Andy Jassy, CEO of AWS. “This agreement represents a commitment for both DXC and AWS to make it much easier to enable long-time and newer DXC clients to take advantage of the Cloud with the most functionality, the most innovation, the largest partner ecosystem, and the most experience at helping companies run at scale—all of which allows customers to access the best set of capabilities to evolve and differentiate their customer experience.”

Areas of initial focus include managed security/compliance, Dedicated VMware Cloud, analytics services, application services, and SAP support.

Claiming nearly 6,000 private and public-sector clients from a diverse array of industries across 70 countries, DXC is already a Premier Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN) and is an audited AWS Managed Service Provider with multiple AWS migration competencies. In addition, the company holds more than 900 AWS certifications, including associate and professional level certifications, with plans to double that number in the next year, as part of the DXC AWS collaboration.
