How does this forum differ from past DXC or CSC insurance conferences?
Events like this have a long heritage at DXC, and we are excited to bring our community together in person again. Since our last forum, Ray August has taken on the role of DXC’s Global Lead, Insurance Software & BPS. Ray looks forward to getting input from a small group of select executive-level customers about how DXC can deliver greater value as we shape our insurance business strategy, along with our plans for DXC software and business process services. We want to listen and learn from you, and work together with you, to support your business success.
What DXC partners are included?
The DXC Partner Ecosystem plays a vital role in the value we deliver to our insurance customers, enabling us to accelerate innovation and deliver services more effectively worldwide. You will be introduced to innovations from DXC and our partners throughout the forum. Our sponsoring partners will be announced soon.
