Streamlining The Organization

Lawrie said the merger creates some initial "dis-synergies," but officials are planning to streamline the organizational structure through several moves, such as the consolidation of redundant roles and improving productivity through automation.

DXC also plans to cut its estimated 15,000 suppliers in half by 2020 and cut about $9 billion in "addressable" spend, such as contract labor and technology. In its supply chain alone, the company is targeting $300 million in first-year savings and $750 million through 2020.
