The email went out to HPE staff about an hour ago. The email is very long and full of buzz words to get us geeked up (insert eye roll). What the announcement lacks is what the heck does DXC stand for? Did they just pick any three letters?? Why is the T in technology lower case... so many questions ..

DXE In conjunction with Modis hold the SSC contract for Government of Canada. They get paid 265.20/day (standard GoC helpdesk contract) (for a FIRST level help desk... mine is a 2nd level: Add 5K/yr.. at least.).. that's $37.95/hr. Standard cost is 1.2X hourly wages (IE, taxes, etc). the average employee is getting $18/hr on this, new hires more, older hires... less An employee making 18.5/hr costs them 22.2/hr... meaning.. they're pocketing almost 16/hr on our backs. They do ANYTHING to avoid giving a pittance of a raise, and keep coming up with excuses for not being able to pay more.
DXE - d---s..
It was long ago when HP started getting into computers, they decided to turn away from their core competencies. They started buying their way into the market. Who a company developed a superior product that HP wanted, they purchased the company. They then tried to compete in the workstation market but that was held by Apollo and Silicon Graphics along with IBM and DEC. The volume and revenue leader at the time was Apollo. HP purchased Apollo and their customers. Within a 2 year timeframe, all Apollo employees gone and the products faded away. They purchased other companies and the same occurred with them. They purchased Compaq and within a year the entire European management teams and IT resources, systems and infrastructure to support European customers was gone. BTW, all of the products and intellectual properties were also gone. What they had left where confused customers. HP changed their entire structure and operating model every 9 to 12 months. Changes in VP's, organizations, systems, customer focus were constantly changing until around 2007 customers started leaving because they could no longer trust HP what they were publicly telling customers and the industry at large. They purchased EDS, CSC to try and get into the consulting business which was a major flop. Now they just change the name in the hopes that customers will come back to a new company. Yet the problem still exists. HP or HPE still doesn't understand who they are or want to be anymore. IBM on the other hand is just standing by, watching all of this unfold and with an open door, inviting ex-HP customers to observe what they have to offer. When IBM speaks the words "Business Solution" that's what they really mean and they can prove it.
If one is to pronounce DXC with a New Zealand accent then it sounds like d---s. Says it all.
DXC means DIXI, famous rent-a-toilet service over here :-D

What does DXC stand for?
DXC is not an acronym. The name DXC is a reference to our mission, which is leading clients on their
digital transformation journeys. The X is a reference to the company, being a force multiplier, enabling
clients to seize the opportunities presented by today’s rapidly changing technologies
Our name should be used as DXC Technology in emails and letters
In url's its in lower case and there is a "." dxc.technology because URL's are normally in lower case
@Nlax are you in India? Happens all the time. Do not trust them.
No legitimate employer (in the USA at the very least) is going to charge you a fee to apply to a job. This is a scam! Tell them that you charge a $53 processing fee to pay them their $50...
So someone contacted me a bout a job in DXC as customer service however they are asking me for a $50 fee, is that legit?
Why black and white. Looks like death.
take a close look at the vertical logo. the logo is an image of a skull. the designers are laughing .
This made me laugh, oh poor DXC...

I am glad I checked here for updates. I had not heard. I did not get an email. Seems modis contractors don't need to know.
Have just read the official FAQs recently published to employees which confirms DXC is not an acronym...

@jdt the lower case T is definitely not a typo. It is present on the official website
http://dxc.com/
It stands for Dont Xpect Communication or
Dont Xpect Compensation or
Dont Xpect a Career
I'm pretty sure it must be one of these.
The evidence suggests it's entirely random.
Presumably the name comes from CSC's recent acquisition of Australian IT services company UXC? What those letters stand for, and the "D", who knows. Either that or they have literally arbitrarily selected 3 meaningless letters and stuck the word "technology" on the end...?
DXC ~ Dixie = down south = where the company is heading?
DXC = 590 = chinese slang for go find out yourself
DXC = decades of brand equity in HP and CSC goes 'down south'
DXC = what see?
DXC = Dolby logo's 'me too'?
DXC = existing meaning = 'Deathcore' music style --> death... core.. wow
DXC what a Shty name. well fits right for a shtty company. glad to leave already. get out while compensation is high
Get over it losers
Doubling eXecutive Compensation
Disgusting eXploitive Corporation
Management has confirmed that WFRs have increased over the past month in an attempt to artificially increase profit margins as much as possible before HPE goes way down south in DXC. They are cutting into lean tissue to meet goals, as all of the fat was liposuctioned long ago.
DXC out for Harambe!
Lol!
I was sort of hoping the new name would really, actually be Newco!
yes positive like this http://downloadicons.net/radioactive-warning-labels-icons-83814
So people are being cut here. Suddenly finding their domain accounts locked out then notice shortly after. Looks like another "covert" round of wfr.
I hope they have registered DXE.com too or website visitors and emails are going to go astray.
Try saying DXC to someone and see if they hear DXE...
Cyber squatters are going to have a field day...
Good point... wait until the unwashed masses get started.
That's too funny.
DXC is so all about 590.
Actually what is more funny is that we've all come up with this stuff in a very short amount of time and the so called brand experts and the board didn't spot any of this.
To add the Urban Dictionary point...
Roman numeral DXC = 590
Check what Urban dictionary says that means!
Our New Company, Our New Name
Today, we have exciting news: The name of the new company formed by the proposed merger of CSC and HPE ES will be DXC Technology.
The announcement today includes just our new name and logo. The full launch of our new brand will take place worldwide in conjunction with our listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “DXC,” planned for April 3, 2017.

Our brand story will reflect our CLEAR values:
• Client-focused, Leadership, Execution excellence, Aspiration, and Results
Shaping Our Brand
Since we announced the CSC-HPE ES merger in May 2016, defining the brand identity of our new company has been a chief priority. Our integrated CSC-ES team has been working in collaboration with leadership and the global brand firm Siegel+Gale on a brand strategy that reflects the true expression of our new company’s mission, vision, values and culture.
The group explored a great many options, including many that were crowd-sourced from inside and outside our companies. We sought a brand that would be fresh, distinctive, and highly differentiated. We worked to create a brand that would set us apart, yet represent the best qualities of where we’ve been and, most importantly, what we aspire to be going forward.
The framework established to shape our brand identity embraces these core attributes:
• Differentiates us from the competition
• Clarifies what we promise and deliver
• Drives preference
• Inspires employees
• Guides go-to-market investments
The DXC Technology Brand Identity
Creating a new brand should send a signal that DXC Technology is going to be more than just a bigger company. DXC Technology will lead clients through accelerating change, helping them harness the power of technology to deliver new outcomes to transform their business.
• We are an experienced hand who has met the challenges of innovation many times before, and has a clear and confident vision for navigating the future.
• We work with clients, at their side, to solve complex challenges in ways that minimize business risk and maximize opportunity.
• We operate differently: Our world-class talent becomes part of our client’s team, innovating with them and putting the right technology to work for them. We partner with other technology leaders. And we invest in building collaborative client relationships that flex and grow to help meet new challenges with confidence, speed and agility.
• We bring assured authority to every challenge: We look change squarely in the face and see the opportunity in it. We work with the confidence of having before met the challenges of innovation.
Bringing DXC Technology to Life
Today’s brand reveal is a “soft” launch intended to inform our community, including our clients and partners who are some of our key stakeholders. We are issuing a press release and making a requisite filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
We will fully launch the DXC Technology brand in a big way globally, among all of our stakeholders, following the transaction close. Day 1 is currently scheduled for Monday, April 3. Until that time, please take the time to:
• View this brief introductory video and sizzle reel that provide additional insight on the DXC Technology brand.
• View the FAQs that will guide you through the guardrails around our new name and logo.
It’s important to note that the DXC Technology brand should NOT be actively used in any materials until our new company’s debut.
We will continue to communicate regularly about our progress and activities, and to seek your thoughts and ideas on the merger along the way. An archive of prior communications about the merger is available on the ES Spin Merger News site.
We hope that you share our excitement and passion for our new company’s brand and future. Thank you for your continued energy, enthusiasm and hard work.
- Mike
