Technology firm expanding in Arkansas, hiring 1,200 workers

A technology company that works with Medicaid programs is expanding its central Arkansas facility and hiring 1,200 new workers.

DXC Technology announced Tuesday the expansion of its facility in Conway, which currently employs nearly 450 employees. The company says the new positions will be in health care and life sciences, automotive and security information technology services.

The company says it will establish a global “Center of Excellence” that serves the Medicaid business for 30 states and other clients. DXC says it currently provides health and human services to clients in 42 states and territories.

The state’s economic development commission says DXC will receive cash rebates for the expansion.
