Where DXC Smells Opportunity

DXC says the business shift to digital poses "significant challenges" to business, especially in having the internal expertise to handle it. For example, because of today's widely addressed technology skills gap, 94 percent of companies consider a lack of digital skills a major hurdle to transformation efforts, the DXC executives told investors. Data from The Hackett Group, a research firm, supports that: In a report released this week, Hackett said 51 percent of CFOs view access to critical talent as a risk in 2018 and 2019, way up from 31 percent today.

In addition, the DXC executives said, 65 percent of digital transformation projects fail, they noted.
