Cloud Edge with maintenance support by DXC

The main use cases I see my clients using DXC Cloud Services for are application modernization, re-platforming, and shifting from on-premises solutions into the cloud.

Regarding application modernization, those are typically applications that have been grown over decades, where customers decide to initiate a modernization. As of today, modernization efforts very often leverage AI tools to support the shift from the old on-premises, private cloud, or other solutions to a modern cloud-based, AI-generated software environment.

The best features DXC Cloud Services offers, based on my experience selling it, are stability, security, and sovereignty.

The topics of security and sovereignty stand out as top features for DXC Cloud Services because they are at the very top of all decision-makers in the industry at the moment, especially with respect to what is ongoing in the markets and developments in North America. This puts a high emphasis and priority on security, but also sovereignty to ensure that data stays local where it is intended to stay and that no one who should not have access to that data and those solutions has access.

DXC Cloud Services has positively impacted my organization and my clients' organizations in terms of two important elements: stability and the commercial aspect in terms of providing a commercially attractive solution.

The commercial aspect of DXC Cloud Services provides a commercially attractive solution through outcome-based solutions where I orient the solution to the customer on the basis of their business KPIs and make that outcome-based. By doing that, I am typically able to provide attractive solutions.

At the moment, there is nothing specific that comes to mind about how DXC Cloud Services can be improved. I think the most important thing is to sustain with sovereignty and security.

I gave this review a rating of 9 out of 10.

As a point of the enterprise, my main use case for DXC Cloud Services is that we move, build, and run workloads on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud and private hybrid clouds.

One of the specific examples of a project where DXC Cloud Services made a difference for my team is the United Airlines legacy app modernization.

Another example related to BAE Systems comes to my mind, where the problem was that 110,000 employees across defense projects needed secure, scalable IT.

In terms of the features that actually stand out in DXC Cloud Services, the first one is the CSO, which means cloud service orchestration.

Another feature that I would like to mention is FinOps and cost governance baked in, which helps avoid bill shock.

The positive impacts that we see by using DXC Cloud Services include speed as the first one.

After using DXC Cloud Services, built-in SOC, built-in ISO under a different model such as 27017, zero-trust, and unified governance across multi-cloud make audits easier.

In terms of governance and security of DXC Cloud Services, they wrap AI into their cloud services with a heavy focus on enterprise governance.

Based on some of the feedback from our employees, there are main areas where DXC Cloud Services could improve, including speed and agility with hyperscalers.

One improvement I would suggest about DXC Cloud Services is for cost transparency, to give teams more granular, real-time cost drill-down.

For customer support of DXC Cloud Services, I will give an 8 out of 10.

Before using DXC Cloud Services, we initially relied on on-prem data centers but switched due to high capex and hard scalability.

We purchased DXC Cloud Services from the AWS Marketplace, which offers benefits such as consolidated billing.

When choosing DXC Cloud Services, we evaluated other options such as IBM Consulting, HCLTech, and Accenture.

In terms of accuracy and reliability of DXC Cloud Services for AI capabilities, I want to add that DXC does not train its own LLMs such as GPT-4.

I advise others looking into DXC Cloud Services to be honest about why they are choosing it versus AWS or Azure directly.

I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.
