Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | Segment Information DXC has a matrix form of organization and is managed in several different and overlapping groupings including services, industries and geographic regions. As a result, and in accordance with accounting standards, operating segments are organized by the type of services provided. DXC's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the chief executive officer, obtains, reviews, and manages the Company’s financial performance based on these segments. The CODM uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and allocate resources to, each of the segments. Global Business Services ("GBS") GBS provides innovative technology solutions that help its customers address key business challenges and accelerate digital transformations tailored to each customer's industry and specific objectives. GBS enterprise technology stack offerings include: •Analytics and Engineering. GBS's portfolio of analytics services and extensive partner ecosystem help customers gain rapid insights, automate operations, and accelerate their digital transformation journeys. GBS provides software engineering and solutions that enable businesses to run and manage their mission-critical functions, transform their operations and develop new ways of doing business. •Applications. GBS uses advanced technologies and methods to accelerate the creation, modernization, delivery and maintenance of high-quality, secure applications allowing customers to innovate faster while reducing risk, time to market, and total cost of ownership, across industries. GBS's vertical-specific IP includes solutions for insurance; banking and capital markets; and automotive, among others. GBS offerings also includes business process services, which include digital integration and optimization of front and back office processes, and agile process automation. This helps companies to reduce cost, and minimize business disruption, human error, and operational risk while improving customer experiences. Global Infrastructure Services ("GIS") GIS provides a portfolio of technology offerings that deliver predictable outcomes and measurable results, while reducing business risk and operational costs for customers. GIS enterprise stack elements include: •Cloud and Security. GIS helps customers to rapidly modernize by adapting legacy apps to cloud, migrate the right workloads, and securely manage their multi-cloud environments. GIS's security solutions help predict attacks, proactively respond to threats, ensure compliance and protect data, applications and infrastructure. •IT Outsourcing ("ITO"). GIS's ITO services support infrastructure, applications, and workplace IT operations, including hardware, software, physical/virtual end-user devices, collaboration tools, and IT support services. GIS helps customers securely optimize operations to ensure continuity of their systems and respond to new business and workplace demands, while achieving cost takeout, all with limited resources, expertise and budget. GIS offerings also include workplace and mobility services to fit its customer’s employee, business and IT needs from intelligent collaboration, modern device management, digital support services, Internet of Things ("IoT") and mobility services, providing a consumer-like, digital experience.

(1) Depreciation and amortization as presented excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets of $114 million and $146 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $414 million and $435 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Reconciliation of Reportable Segment Profit to Consolidated Total The Company's management uses segment profit as the measure for assessing performance of its segments. Segment profit is defined as segment revenue less costs of services, segment selling, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and other income (excluding the movement in foreign currency exchange rates on DXC's foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and the related economic hedges). The Company does not allocate to its segments certain operating expenses managed at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include certain corporate function costs, stock-based compensation expense, pension and OPEB actuarial and settlement gains and losses, restructuring costs, transaction, separation and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
