American DXC Technology invests in a new data center in Rabat

After Etix Everywhere, N+One and more recently Medafrica Systems, another Moroccan IT player, and not the least, is interested in the data center segment.

Indeed, DXC Technology Morocco (formerly HP CDG IT Services Morocco), the joint venture created in 2007 between the Caisse de dépôt et de gestion (CDG) and HP, the global IT market leader, is currently executing an ambitious investment project in a data center unique of its kind in North Africa. With an investment envelope of nearly 30 million MAD, DXC Technology Morocco plans to offer, starting in 2018, Moroccan corporate clients solutions for hosting their IT platforms and, beyond that, managed services for their IT systems (hardware and application outsourcing) in a data center certified TIER IV (the highest level of guarantee that a managed service provider can offer with 99.99% availability and an architecture capable of mitigating the worst technical incident scenarios).

Through such a new offering, the 51% subsidiary of the global DXC Technology group (born in April 2017 following the merger between two giants in the IT sector: Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the Services subsidiary of the HP group and Computer Sciences Corporation), strengthens its positioning on the value chain in the production and marketing of high value-added services, thanks in particular to the differentiation provided by this project.

Let’s remember that DXC Technology Morocco is one of the jewels of the Moroccan IT sector with a workforce that exceeded 1,200 employees in 2017, of which 200 people working on the domestic market while the bulk of the team supports the parent company’s clients internationally, particularly in France and Europe. Within the DXC Technology galaxy, the Moroccan subsidiary is among the most dynamic with considerable assets such as proximity to Europe and a multicultural environment where no fewer than eight languages coexist in the headquarters in Technopolis Rabat (French, Arabic, English, Spanish, German, Dutch, Portuguese, and Turkish), thanks to diversity in recruitment (particularly from the pool of Moroccans living abroad in Europe).
