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. NelsonHall has identified DXC as a best-performing vendor overall, 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, SRE, intelligent automation, and observability) that underly it, all linked together with a secure ecosystem."
