“DXC customers depend on us to be a safe pair of hands, running their mission critical systems reliably and silently,” said Chris Drumgoole, DXC’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “The addition of Dynatrace, with its unified and intelligent view across software products and technologies, helps us strengthen our predictive AIOps capabilities and drive cost optimization. This is another proof point in the ongoing progression of Platform X, on the heels of forming our ServiceNow Strategic Business Group, which was announced earlier this year. DXC is committed to continuously innovating, augmenting DXC proprietary capabilities with market-leading solution providers.”

Underscoring the significance of this partnership, Dynatrace recognized DXC as the 2022 Partner of the Year in North America and 2022 Service Provider of the year in APAC and EMEA. To cement our successful partnership, DXC and Dynatrace have agreed to launch a joint strategic go-to-market program globally to bring an enhanced, intelligent, cross-service-line solution to customers worldwide. This will entail joint development, co-marketing and co-selling, events, and customer engagement.

This is enabled by reducing complexity, delivering precise answers from the immense amount of data coming from modern clouds, and freeing up time through continuous, intelligent automation.”

DXC has been providing Zurich, a leading provider of commercial property-casualty insurance solutions and services, with advanced monitoring-as-a-service, built around the Dynatrace Software Intelligence Platform, for over five years.
