It's us, only backwards. DXC registers new corporate entity: World, meet *drum roll* CXD Infrastructure Solutions

DXC Technology has said it incorporated CXD Infrastructure Solutions to house a data centre asset acquired under a co-location agreement with Credit Suisse, and not - as many staff fear - to offload legacy ops. There has been a restlessness at DXC. Perhaps no more so than usual, however this time it isn't related to …

[Alister]

That'll fool 'em, nobody will ever associate CXD with DXC.

[Doctor Syntax]

That sub-title...

... one of the best.

[trevorde]

Better name

EYD - The one after DXC

[ItWasn'tMe]

CWB

Could have followed Kubrick & Clarke's idea when IBM wouldn't play ball

What's the best thing about Switzerland?

What's the best thing about Switzerland?

Probably not a new DXC / CXD joint venture but the flag's a big plus.

Re: What's the best thing about Switzerland?

Best thing about Switzerland? Their frugality. They even folded up their country to use as little area as possible!

The one with the greasy stains from the cheese pieces thrown at it --------->

We will see...

Agree likely to be a spin off entity and why did they register CXD for Credit Suisse in a high tax rate country as UK - make more sense to register this entity in Switzerland!

[Anonymous Coward]

One of the lads in our office made the suggestion that us "legacy IT" folks would be spun off and sold in the near future, as the company clearly only cares about "digital IT" now.

Whether this is that or not, it seems like he's right, and its coming. tbh, at this point, I welcome our new overlords - can't be worse than the current ones, can it? (says the person who's said this at least 4 times now!)

[Korev]

I'd like to see them try non-digital IT... Analogue computers could be a lot of fun...

[Korev]

It'd be a slide rule into insanity...

[Anonymous Coward]

Legacy IT spun off and sold?

So DXC is doing what HPE did 2 years ago?

[EveryTime]

That was the closest possible statement by a PR flack to just saying "tax dodge". I tend to believe it.

[Anonymous South African Coward]

Is this a joke waiting for reverse gear and a ferret?

[Kevin McMurtrie]

I keep trying to visit their web site

But muscle memory goes for xkcd, and then I forget what I was doing.

[elvisimprsntr]

How many executive board meetings did that take? Reminds me of THHGTTG B-Ark

[Anonymous Coward]

It probably took a whole team of apprentices a whole month to come up with that name, and then 3 months for it to be approved by one of the musical-chair L2s.

[Anonymous Coward]

All the staff will be happy to know its not only the name that is backwards, you also have to pay THEM to work there

[Anonymous Coward]

Never mind CXD, surely what we are dealing with here is a UXB?

[Aristotles slow and dimwitted horse]

Luvvin' the optimism...

13 years!!! I give DXCXD or whatever they are called no more than 2 at best.

[Steve Cooper]

Back when I worked for Rebus (which went on to become Xchanging, which went on to become DXC eventually), we were bought out by a company called 'Suber' in order to become Xchanging so nothing changes!
