Bluleader managing director, Robin Apfel, was excited about expanding the reach of Bluleader into DXC’s diversified client base, so employees are engaged in interesting, challenging and career-enhancing projects.
“This combination will enable us to leverage DXC’s market presence, intellectual property and expertise to expand the size and scale of Bluleader as part of DXC Oxygen’s integrated practice,” he said.
Bluleader was recently awarded SAP 2019 CX Partner of the Year ANZ and 2019 CX Partner of the Year APJ.
DXC Technology Australia and New Zealand managing director, Seelan Nayagam, said the acquisition of Bluleader is an integral part of DXC’s commitment to continue to grow and invest in SAP-based customer experience solutions and more broadly in SAP Practice, with the joint strategic goal of achieving the position as the number one SAP partner in Australia and New Zealand.
