Consider DXC Mainframe Modernization if:

  • You are charged with managing tech debt.... 
  • Your role in an increasingly competitive industry requires lowering operational costs, increasing agility to adapt to market changes, and integrating modern technologies and platforms. In the traditional financial industry, for example, where fintechs, tech giants and even retailers are staking claims, that might mean taking on mainframe modernization for critical business operations such as transaction processing, customer account management and regulatory compliance. With mainframe modernization, DXC was able to reduce the online transaction response time for a leading Spanish bank by over 50%, which sped up customer transactions, leading to greater customer satisfaction and loyalty, and increasing the competitiveness of the bank.
