6. DXC Will Not Make Any Major Changes To Concerto In the Initial Months Or Years

Although Concerto Cloud Services would be a great fit for DXC's partner base, Timmins said no major changes will be made in the initial months or years following the deal.

In the long run, Timmins said DXC would be interested in extending Concerto's capabilities to its existing network of channel partners, but only in situations where it makes broad strategic sense for Concerto and its customer base.

"Our enterprise customers are demanding the same solutions that Tribridge delivers because they want an integration with hybrid cloud," Timmins said. "That is the way the world is moving."

In the interim, Timmins said DXC also has a division purely focused on cloud platforms and offerings that works with similar types of partners as Tribridge and Concerto do today.
