TYSONS, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– DXC Technology will be the name of the new company formed by the proposed merger of CSC (NYSE: CSC) and the Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) when the transaction closes, it was announced today. The full launch of the new brand will take place worldwide with the debut of the new company, which is expected on April 3, 2017.

The new company is expected to have $26 billion in annual revenues and nearly 6,000 clients in over 70 countries.

We will focus on producing greater value for clients, partners and shareholders, along with growth opportunities for our people.”

“DXC Technology will own a unique and highly differentiated value proposition,” said CSC chief marketing & communications officer Gary Stockman, who will serve in the same capacity at DXC Technology. “Over decades, CSC and HPE ES have successfully met the challenges of innovation, guiding the world’s largest enterprises and government agencies through multiple change cycles. Together as DXC Technology, our technology independence, world-class talent and industry-leading partner ecosystem will provide a clear and confident vision for the future.”
