DXC has formed a business unit called AdvisoryX that will help clients with IT and business transformation projects.

The unit is led by Pete McEvoy (pictured above), a former Boston Consulting Group executive who joined the company last year. He also held multiple roles at EY, where he most recently served as principal.

DXC is a publicly-traded professional services provider with more than 120,000 employees. It helps clients with IT projects such as moving applications to the cloud and setting up analytics environments. Additionally, it has a business transformation practice that provides advice to corporate leadership teams. The firm’s third major source of revenue is the pre-packaged software market, where it sells applications for insurers and banks.

DXC’s new AdvisoryX practice will help clients with both IT and corporate strategy projects. The AdvisoryX solution lineup includes, among others, five AI offerings that were unveiled in conjunction with the unit’s launch. They’re designed to help organizations build and run machine learning applications. One offering, AI Core, makes it easier to create the technical building blocks necessary to launch AI projects. Those building blocks include model datasets and governance guardrails. Another offering, AI Manage, enables companies to offload the work involved in operating a machine learning workload to DXC. The consultancy can maintain both the workload and the infrastructure on which it runs.

According to DXC, AdvisoryX also has a market research unit. The unit’s responsibilities will include publishing studies on IT technology trends such as AI agent adoption among large companies.

DXC unveiled AdvisoryX alongside a refreshed brand identity. The highlight of the design change is a new logo with a gradient color scheme. That could be a nod to gradient descent, an algorithm engineers use to train AI models. Google, another company that has made AI a major focus of its business strategy, also adopted a gradient logo this year.
