DXC simplified complexities for Northeast Grocery and accelerated its roadmap for innovation
DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading Fortune 500 global technology services provider, today announced its strategic role supporting the digital transformation of Northeast Grocery, Inc. (Northeast Grocery), the parent company of Market 32 and Price Chopper and Tops Friendly Markets (Tops). Through this collaboration, DXC led the modernization of Northeast Grocery’s IT infrastructure, delivering more than $40 million in savings over five years and setting the stage for future innovation.
Since 2008, DXC has supported Tops through many milestones of growth and evolution. This includes the 2021 merger between Market 32 and Price Chopper and Tops– two leading grocers in the northeastern United States operating nearly 300 stores. Northeast Grocery sought to create operational efficiencies through the consolidation of its IT infrastructures and selected DXC to lead this critical transformation, helping to optimize its operations, simplify complexities and accelerate its roadmap for innovation, including leveraging generative AI.
“As part of our merger, we needed to realize productivity gains and drive synergies as we unified our mainframe infrastructure,” said Scott Kessler, EVP and CIO at Northeast Grocery. “Throughout the transition, DXC enabled us to continue offering our customers the excellent service they’ve come to expect and helped us prepare for the future as we endeavor into AI and other next-generation technologies.”
DXC provides comprehensive support to Northeast Grocery to optimize operations and maximize IT investments, which recently included updating its mainframe system with a zLinux environment to increase compute capacity. These modernization efforts empower Northeast Grocery to focus on growth, innovation, and customer experience, paving the way for future growth. DXC also supports the grocer’s software engineering and IT operations managed services, as well as its internal device management and workplace collaboration across business operations.
“At DXC, we are committed to helping customers maximize the value of their technology investments and build for the future,” said Chris Drumgoole, President, Global Infrastructure Services at DXC. “By modernizing Northeast Grocery’s IT infrastructure, we’ve helped deliver significant cost savings and greater operational efficiency, allowing them to reinvest in stores, customer experience, and future innovation. We look forward to continuing our collaboration, integrating AI and accelerating their digital transformation.”
