It's New Orleans: Out To Lunch

Have you heard this one Bill Gates walks into a bar... Actually, it s not a joke. It s a lesson about the definition of averages. Bill Gates walks into a bar. There s 20 people in there. The average net worth of everybody in the bar is now 5 billion dollars. In a similar manner, New Orleans business boosters like to say these days, "New Orleans is the fastest growing tech city in the country." As of right now it s technically true, thanks largely to the Bill Gates walks into a bar effect of a company called DXC Technology. DXC is the world s leading IT company. It employs 170,000 people in 70 countries. They have an annual revenue of more than 24 billion dollars. In mid 2018, DXC took over what used to be the Freeport McMoran Building, across from the Superdome, and opened an operation called The New Orleans Digital Transformation Center. Terrell Boynton is Director and General Manager of DXC Technology s New Orleans Digital Transformation Center. DXC is not the only technology game in town. Far from it. Ther
