Some of the HP people that I know have had DXC email addresses earlier than that. A lot of employees overseas.
Yes, they have outsourced a ton of their services over the years (just like every other global corp).
The new merged company is around 150k employees.

There was almost no question it was going to be tech or biotech if it was something of historic magnitude. There is no way it would be manufacturing, at least not in NOLA.

DXC is going to get the tax credits and hire a bunch of H1B employees.

Daily Report has confirmed that the major economic development announcement Gov. John Bel Edwards will make in New Orleans this afternoon involves Virginia-based DXC Technology, which will set up operations in the Crescent City and eventually create 2,000 permanent high tech jobs.
DXC is a publicly traded IT services company, with revenues of more than $25 billion, that was created in 2016 by the merger of CSC and the Enterprise Services segment of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. DXC serves nearly 6,000 private and public sector clients in 70 countries, including major, multinational corporations and government agencies. It has more than 155,000 employees.
Details about the services the company will be providing out of its New Orleans-based facility were not available. A corporate spokesman for DXC referred all comment to officials in Louisiana. Officials with the governor’s office and Louisiana Economic Development declined to comment.
But in an earnings call to investors on Nov. 7, DXC chairman president and CEO John Michael Lawrie suggested the company would be opening new facilities in U.S markets where labor costs are lower.
Lawrie told investors the company was “rethinking how you bring people in … and it’s about a whole different approach to where we set up our locations. I’ve said before we are looking at creating some lower-cost facilities in the United States and moving some of our workload there.”
Edwards’ office has described the pending announcement as “one of the most significant economic development” projects in the state’s history.
The announcement is scheduled for 2 p.m. outside the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Follow Daily Report for more details.

It will not be HQ'd in Nola..no chance.
This will be a something similar to what CSC did in Bossier back in 2014. LINK

The fact still remains that Ingalls sold the Avondale shipyard....something is going to happen out there....someone isnt just going to buy a place like that and sit on it for long

Amazon headquarters!
You're delusional if you think Amazon is coming here. It doesn't meet a single one of the criteria Amazon said it was looking for.

So companies can outsource to foreign employees in New Orleans instead of Bengaluru.

They are an IT outsourcing firm. Think call centers/help desk/app development/ software implementation.

If it is about the shipyard they should announce it at the shipyard because those dollars are heading to the burbs and not the city.
There isnt enough demand for American shipbuilding to justify any substantial projects at Avondale

The business expansion represents "the most permanent jobs for a single LED (Louisiana Economic Development) project in state history," said the source, who was not authorized to speak on the record.
That's a bit of an oversell. This is primarily an outsourcing company that will likely bring in foreign employees and move on when the tax credits expire.

It's an interesting choice, whoever it is. The two reasons why big companies never locate to NOLA are crime and the lack of good affordable schools. The school situation has improved some, with charters and whatnot. Crime is still a problem. Also, affordable housing is becoming a more recent issue.
I wonder if the facility will be in the CBD. The CBD has come a long way in the last 10 years. It would be huge for downtown. 2,000 is a lot of people though; not sure there is an existing building with that much available space in the CBD. Unless they are bringing the Plaza Tower out of retirement.

This really needs to happen. It would change that entire South market district.
Maybe even push the homeless ouy.
