DXC Technology Appointed by Metropolitan Police for Digital Transformation Project

DXC Technology Leads Metropolitan Police's Digital Transformation Program

DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) has announced its appointment as the Master Vendor for the Metropolitan Police Service (the Met), the largest police authority in the UK. The contract, which spans a duration of seven years plus two optional one-year extensions, will enable DXC to revolutionize the way the Met manages its resources and operates various services.

The core objective of this initiative is to implement updated Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Resource Management (RM) systems. This incorporation of new technologies is designed to modernize the resource allocation processes, enhancing the efficiency of personal, financial, and procurement services within the police force. With these enhancements, the Met aims to optimize its operations, allowing officers to better respond to local needs based on real-time data.

Marie Heracleous, head of Business Services at the Metropolitan Police Service, expressed enthusiasm about this collaboration, stating, "DXC will help us continue our transformation and implement our strategy for a 'New Met for London.' This partnership will enable us to better plan and manage our resources, reduce costs, and allow our officers to focus primarily on frontline policing."

The collaboration between DXC Technology and the Greater London Authority's Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) underscores a mutual commitment to delivering smarter and more efficient digital services that support police officers and build public trust.

Derek Allison, Senior Manager for the UK and Ireland at DXC noted, "We are proud to partner with the Metropolitan Police Service on this critical transformation, delivering a revitalized business service model that aligns with the strategy for a 'New Met for London.' Our commitment is to ensure sustained positive impacts, not just for the London police, but for the communities they protect."

The collaboration once again puts DXC Technology in the spotlight for its expertise in public sector transformations. This venture will simplify a portion of the Met's technological architecture, enhancing overall performance within the frontline operations. Recognition of DXC's leadership in this area was recently highlighted by IDC MarketScape, which named it a leader in worldwide AI services for national civilian government, acknowledging its innovative capability and dedication to responsible and sovereign AI solutions.

In conclusion, this partnership illustrates a significant move towards embracing modern technological solutions within the law enforcement sector. With DXC at the helm, the Metropolitan Police Service is set to modernize and enhance its capabilities in a way that effectively responds to the evolving needs of the community it serves.
