In its review of Platform DXCTM , 451 Research says that “DXC Technology, having the advantage of starting from the creation of a new business entity, is applying its platforms more consistently across all operational pillars than most of its competitors.”
451 Research has evaluated Platform DXCTM, the technology platform underlying DXC BionixTM that connects mission-critical IT systems with new digital solutions.
Excerpts from the 451 Research report:
Introduction
“Platform DXC underpins Bionix, DXC Technology's approach to intelligent automation, providing the insight and actions to create better telemetry and automation. The platform is designed to maintain a stable business model for the service provider in the face of rapidly changing customer requirements by integrating transformations with mainstream IT.”
With Platform DXC, the company can ingest and control the existing customer estate and correlate the back end with the new so it looks like a single business. This is the DXC path to digital, and it is a way to coexist with legacy systems. It is the way that DXC has tackled its own digital transformation as it has built out its digital foundation.

The 451 Take
“DXC Bionix was conceived as a service-delivery model, taking advantage of intelligent automation that would run across all of the company's nine offering families, managed as one strategy for the entire business. DXC Bionix is the external brand for data-driven engineering, and DXC itself uses this data to improve ITSM processes, scale and cybersecurity via the underlying platform it has created, Platform DXC. It is the power of Platform DXC that the company believes will transform its business and those of its customers. It is still early, but the approach is promising….”
Context
As a key strategy, DXC “decided that automation must be applied at scale across the company's managed service customer operations and offerings. The investment in what has become known as DXC Bionix is the largest the company has made to date in internal technology enablement. Bionix makes use of analytics and AI, lean principles, and automation to modernize traditional delivery environments. Platform DXC industrializes the insight and experience from legacy transformations into a new digital delivery platform to provide automated offerings.”
