William Deckelman of DXC Technology Company
Bill Deckelman assumed the general counsel role at DXC Technologies after the company’s creation through the merger of his former employer, Computer Sciences Corp, and the enterprise services division of Hewlett Packard Enterprise in 2017, creating a global IT services business with over 6,000 clients spanning a range of major businesses and national governments. Among Deckelman’s more pressing tasks included the integration and management of both companies’ legal teams and their vast array of service contracts with external parties, a challenge to which Deckelman responded by negotiating an unprecedented and transformational managed services arrangement with enterprise legal services provider UnitedLex. The innovative deal, which saw DXC rebadge over 200 legal, commercial and contract management staff to UnitedLex, sees the company outsourcing a large part of its legal function to the third-party provider and leverage its automated contract management platform, cutting its legal spend by 30 percent in the process.
