My son, Ben, is fifteen years old. He’s bright, confident and will be a great businessman one day. He can tell you all about our products and solutions, including detailed specifications and their related benefits and capabilities. However, when it comes time for him to enter the workforce in just a few short years, statistics show he will face challenges on his journey to employment. Nearly half of 25-year-olds on the autism spectrum have never held a paying job. With…

To our customers and partners: With the full impact of the COVID-19 virus uncertain, our world feels unsettled. I was with our global team in a virtual town hall this week where we talked a lot about this, and our priorities to keep each other and our communities healthy and safe and take care of our customers’ most critical needs. I thought I’d share some of that conversation with you and update you on the things we are doing, as…

As the impact of COVID-19 spreads, we have two main priorities: caring for the health and safety of our team members, their families and our communities, and doing everything we can to take care of the needs of our customers and partners. We are rolling out our own work-from-home guidance and supporting our customers as you do the same. We are going virtual with events like Dell Technologies World and Executive Briefing Center experiences. We have our own business continuity plans in…

Integrity is more than part of the culture at Dell. It is a foundational building block in our Progress Made Real 2030 plans for ourselves and our partners that will enable us to deepen our customer relationships. As a testament to the depth of our commitment to the Progress Made Real goals, I’m pleased to announce that Dell has been recognized as one of the 2020 World’s Most Ethical Companies for the 7th year in a row by Ethisphere, a…

Since the United States’ early history, a national census has been taken to provide a complete and accurate count of all residents. But in 1790, the U.S. was home to fewer than 4 million. Today with nearly 330 million residents, technology is critical to making this count possible. Dell is one of the technology companies providing laptops and IT infrastructure to ensure a complete and accurate 2020 census. Using technology to drive human progress is core to who we are…

International Women’s Day (IWD) is coming up, which is a fantastic opportunity to reinforce what we at Dell Technologies know to be true every day: gender equality is a business imperative that requires our collective action and shared ownership. That’s why I love the theme of this year’s IWD, “Each for Equal.” It’s a call for every person—male or female—to take personal action. Personal action from our 165,000 Dell Technologies team members is the only way we’ll meet our diversity…

Incremental changes can determine sizable progress. This key phrase summarizes Dell’s milestones in a nutshell — from a dorm room to a multinational company. At first, the mantra “Technology that enables human progress” might seem like it centers on automation and machinery as progress-drivers. But it revolves around people, those who develop technology solutions, and those who use them. The incremental changes in any domain start with people, as they are the enablers of transformation and the driving force behind…

Technology and innovation are constantly creating new opportunities and challenges that will impact how we work in 2020 and in the years to come. With that in mind, Dell Technologies recently invited an eclectic group of colleagues, partners, media, analysts and industry experts to help us explore the transformative trends reshaping the workplace. We explored the future: one year out, five years out, and 10 years out.  Here’s where we arrived: One Year: The Duality of the Mobile Workforce While…

On Feb. 18, 2012, the inaugural World CSR Day brought together global representatives from both the private and public sector to share experiences, challenges and opportunities to build a better society. Fast-forward to the year 2020, that inaugural event turned out to be a harbinger for things to come. Eight years later, we regularly see people vow to use only metal straws, cities banning plastic bags, and corporations pledging to go carbon neutral. In fact, I’m proud to say that…

Today, Symphony Technology Group announced a definitive agreement with Dell Technologies to purchase RSA. We believe this is the right long-term strategy for both RSA and Dell Technologies to ensure the full potential of each organization can be reached. For RSA, that is best achieved independent of Dell Technologies and will be in the best interest of our collective customers and partners. As we enter the next data decade, our customers need to secure and protect data everywhere it exists…

Success means nothing unless you use that success to lift others up as well. There are many quotes that all equate to this same belief – a belief and mentality I’ve found is especially prevalent in the Black community. This commitment to lifting others has helped me build a career. I grew up in one of Los Angeles’ most impoverished neighborhoods where the outlook was bleak. This commitment to lifting others is also what drives the Dell Technologies family to…

Have you ever scaled a 20-foot tree, hung off the side of a skyscraper, been 700 meters underground, or labored on a ship for 36 hours straight? How about run diagnostics on a 15-foot electricity pole, taken pipeline readings in zero-degree weather, or checked refinery equipment in a thunderstorm? It’s hard to imagine that this is a normal day of work for some people….and it’s for this reason that Dell is excited to celebrate them by sharing the Top 20…

Welcome to the new decade! As we enter the 2020s, we all have an opportunity to examine our mission and goals. Here at Dell, we are working to redefine how our customers work, and with Dell + Intel Unite®, we are delighted to offer a solution that will redefine user-friendly meeting spaces. Dell + Intel Unite® on OptiPlex 7070 Ultra combines the flexibility of choice our customers love from the Ultra with the breadth of business plugins and UCC applications…

At Davos this week, global leaders are talking about the pressing issues of the day. One of the most important is the strategic shift to a circular economy – something Dell sees as an opportunity for innovation, new market development and a more sustainable approach to the future. It is, therefore, both humbling and exciting to be included in the new book, The Circular Economy Handbook, released on January 20 during the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting. For those not…

Getting reacquainted with my digital office after the winter break served as a useful reminder of how integral technology has become to the way UK consumers and businesses interact, work and access information. According to a recent trends report in Forbes, 2020 is hyped to be the decade when schools also embrace technology. I have already witnessed how new and powerful technology is driving major changes in the way students and teachers teach, learn, and interact, and am incredibly excited…

In 2002, Dell was dipping its toe into multimedia home entertainment and Alienware launched the industry’s first gaming laptop, the Area-51m, a landmark in portable gaming. It was an amazing moment for die-hard gamers to play popular titles like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City anywhere they wanted. Power plus mobility, gamers could have it all. Nearly two decades later, Dell and Alienware will continue showcasing their relentless commitment to gaming innovations at CES. Kicking things off with the new redesigned…

This week, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, we’ll be doing something a little different for Dell Technologies. We want to give you a glimpse into our thoughts on what could become the future of the personal computer and will share some concept devices. In previous posts, I’ve talked about how innovation happens on a continuum, enhancements and refinements on a concept driven over time. PCs will continue to play a key role in our daily lives…

Four events, thirteen startups, and a team of more than twenty volunteers: as 2019 comes to a close, we look back at the success of the Dell for Entrepreneurs Egypt program and our aspirations for next year. 2019 was a year full of activities. In terms of events, we support all the major entrepreneurship and technology events in Egypt including Vested Summit, Startups Without Borders, and Tech Fuse, the most prominent startups’ event in the Middle East and Africa. Even…

Dell has been the world’s number one monitor company for 6 years running1. Being number one encapsulates our commitment to delivering the best across our full portfolio from our high-end UltraSharp line including a CES Innovation Award Honoree to everyday displays like our P and E series, which enable you to do more at your desk more effectively. Today at CES 2020, my team is excited to introduce a dozen new monitors that deliver on the industry-leading reputation of which…

Dell Technologies recently sponsored Haitian post-college professional Nahomie Auguste’s trip to One Young World, a global forum that gathers young leaders from around the world to develop solutions to the world’s most pressing issues. This year’s forum was held in London. Nahomie had twice applied for sponsorships to attend One Young World; however, she was rejected both times. But Nahomie refused to give up. She shared with me that she remembered the advice of her father who told her to…

At Dell Technologies, we are technology optimists. Meaning we truly believe technology has the power to solve some of the world’s greatest challenges, break down barriers, and create opportunity for all. We work hard to bring this belief and our commitment to inclusion to life through our brand – from the advertising we create to the experiences we build not only for our customers but our communities and the world. We were inspired by one of our television spots which…

That should be an obvious statement. It should. But not everyone recognizes how fundamental people are to a technology company. In fact, at Dell, our stated purpose is to create technologies that drive human progress. This purpose has been consistent for many years, and it’s centered around people, all people. Not only the customers we seek to serve, but also our employees, suppliers and individuals who work in our supply chain. Through our reach, technology and global workforce, we’re dedicated…

It’s hard to believe that we’re heading into the year 2020 – a year that many have marked as a milestone in technology. Autonomous cars lining our streets, virtual assistants predicting our needs and taking our requests, connected and intelligent everything across every industry. When I stop to think about what has been accomplished over the last decade – it’s quite remarkable.  While we don’t have fully autonomous cars zipping back and forth across major freeways with ease, automakers are…

As an open water swimmer, it pains me to see so much waste and plastic floating around in our seas and oceans. Did you know, in some places, plastic particles already outnumber plankton by 26 to 1. That’s not good. Not for marine life. Not for the planet. And ultimately, not for us. What we’ve been doing Luckily, there’s much that we can do and it fills me with joy to see that many individuals and companies are taking steps…

In many areas around the world, the lack of reliable, affordable electricity has been one of the biggest barriers to providing technology access to students. In some cases, schools cannot keep the lights on and power a computer lab simultaneously. One program that Dell Technologies has initiated to help break this cycle is our Solar Learning Labs, which seek to close the learning gap by partnering directly with Computer Aid International to deliver computer labs built in converted, well-ventilated shipping containers,…

As modern communication channels continue to evolve and expand, Dell Technologies’ corporate blogs play an important role in telling our stories. Whether it’s talking about our responsibility in the next decade or announcing new on-demand end-to-end flexible consumption, our corporate blogs bring you the latest news and views from our in-house experts. What’s so special about these blogs anyway? Direct2Dell and Direct2DellEMC aren’t just managed by one person or even one team. Our network of authors contributes pieces from all…

Technology has defined the human experience for thousands of years, and we believe it’s still the greatest driver of human progress. Technology that cuts across analytics, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), robotics and so much more demands that we examine how we work, what we do and the impact of digital transformation in preparing us for a future powered by data in a multi-cloud world. To uncover what’s next on the horizon for the digital future, we partnered with…

We love online shopping. Cybercriminals do, too. The uptick in online shopping during the holidays means more chances for cybercriminals to steal your data. This can happen in any number of ways – visiting compromised websites, clicking on phishing emails or fake social media posts, falling for holiday charity scams and even buying from fraudulent shopping sites. The methods vary and cybercriminals get more innovative each year, but their goal remains the same: steal your personal and financial information. Here…

Designing things as a reflection of our personality is by far nothing new in the fashion industry. Here’s a unique combination: traditional Bavarian outfits with colorful African print fabrics. The first Dirndl à l’Africaine that my sister Marie Darouiche designed was the starting point for our label NOH NEE, which is Swahili for “gift of god.” We base our ideas on the classic style of the dirndl of the 1950s, while our fabrics feature wax prints from Ghana and reflect…

Let’s talk about value creation from a slightly different perspective today. Reputation and how it plays into and impacts value. I’m going to dive deeper into some of the things we’re doing beyond financial performance, to drive shareholder – and more broadly – stakeholder value. So, why do I care about the reputation and brand perspective of Dell Technologies? I care because it matters to our Investors, our Customers and to our Team Members. We all know that reputation is…
