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…

Alienware has always prided itself on being a force that introduces new ways for gamers to experience the joys of gaming, PC tweaks, upgrades, and pure high-performance hardware that makes people’s heads turn in awe and amazement. When I first joined Alienware in May of 2004, the brand consistently delivered this kind of experience for gamers and today we are continuing to beat that drum – loud and proud. At the start of my 15 year tour, we had two…

We know the world is facing challenges today that are complicated, multilayered and can sometimes seem insurmountable.  However, in the face of this, I remain optimistic about our future. I believe in the transformative power of passionate people, who when equipped with technology can create real change and material outcomes for society. I witness this every day. Whether formal or informal, I see the efforts of thousands of Dell Technologies team members, customers and partners across the globe having incredible…

Various consumer privacy laws (such as GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act) recognizes transparency as a core principle of data protection.  Simply stated, transparency is related to the fair processing principle and processing can only be fair if it takes place in a transparent manner. However, transparency is only relevant if it is meaningful.  In practice, this means that a business will need to clearly communicate to their users about their data collection practice, which is usually in the…

Earlier today, we proudly announced Dell Technologies’ ambitious social impact goals we’ll work to achieve by 2030. A critical aspect of the plan to advance progress, both within society and within our four walls, centers on cultivating inclusion: By 2030, 50% of our global workforce and 40% of our leaders will be women Current state is 30.4% overall and 23.4% of leaders. By 2030, 25% of our U.S. workforce and 15% of our leaders will be black/African American and Hispanic/Latino…

America Recycles Day is this Friday, and each year we celebrate by hosting recycling drives on our campuses around the country. Each year I’m amazed at what we collect to repurpose: used computers, cell phones, eyeglasses, pet items, tennis shoes. Whether reused in current form or broken down into component parts, the materials get a second life. And it seems simple to us as consumers. We drop off a product and someone else handles the rest. We don’t always see…

As we look at the next decade, today Dell Technologies is setting forth new sustainability goals. But even before today (in fact, more than three years ago), we started exploring different materials to enhance the Latitude brand’s premium design and performance leadership and help move our sustainability goals forward. Although we use reclaimed carbon fiber in Latitudes today, we wanted to keep pushing and find new ways to use even more reclaimed carbon fiber in our devices. We kicked off…

Now small businesses can rely on Dell Technologies to manage the entire PC lifecycle—all for one predictable price per month. As a company that got its start in Michael Dell’s dorm room at The University of Texas at Austin, Dell Technologies has a special affinity for entrepreneurs and start-ups that drive innovation and prosperity. In fact, Dell Technologies is the only technology company that offers dedicated solutions and advisors for small businesses, and today we are announcing Dell PC as…

Your talent is the backbone of any digital workforce transformation. It’s only by diving into the needs of your own employees and by fulfilling their true expectations that you’ll be able to create a productive, engaged and loyal talent base. HR departments everywhere, and particularly those in the largest companies in the world, are accountable for a vast employee community. It’s up to the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) to leap into the breach to turn modern-day challenges into opportunities….

After another high-powered, inspirational summit, Power Trip 2019 has come to a close. Alongside Intel, we powered Marie Claire’s annual all-female conference as part of our global commitment to celebrate female leadership. 36 hours of networking, opportunity, and exciting surprises connected leaders from coast to coast. Dedicated to gathering powerful women in every industry to grow, learn, and share what they know, we were there powering them every step along the way. That’s why we, alongside Intel, turned their flight to…

Great partnerships are built upon shared beliefs and long-term commitment. In my own life, there’s no better example of a partnership than the 19 years I’ve shared with my wife Jennifer. We started our life journey together as high school sweethearts. Professionally, I’ve seen Dell and Alienware become a beacon of how partnerships should be built – based on trust and commitment with a “community first” approach. Within the realm of Esports and gaming, core values of “listening and learning” are central…

Each year on November 11, Veteran’s Day is a reminder to honor and share our gratitude for the remarkable contributions made by those who have served or are serving our country in the armed services. When I think about those who have served, including so many employees across Dell Technologies, what stands out to me is the consistency of their commitment to serve others. I see it every day among our team members who are veterans or are family members…

This is an ongoing series of blogs by Dell Ambassadors competing in the Clipper Race, a 40,000 nautical mile race around the world in 70-foot racing yachts. Each yacht is equipped with two Latitude 7424 Rugged Extreme notebooks and a Latitude 7212 Rugged Extreme tablet to provide the onboard teams with access to critical navigation and communications throughout the challenging race.

Portrait photographer Mark Mann has worked with an illustrious roster of clients. He’s taken some of the most iconic images of public figures ranging from former presidents to Rihanna, Stevie Wonder and Willie Nelson. As a #DellInsideCircle member, Mark uses Dell Precision mobile workstations daily in his studio and on the go. We sat down with him to hear his thoughts on the role of technology in art and how the tools of his trade allow his subjects to shine…

As a leader in technology and innovation, we’re changing how people work together. We recently told you about the exciting renovations made to our dining and office spaces as part of a 3-part series. Now, our 3rd addition includes revamping the very spaces we do some of our most important collaborative work: meeting spaces. What does the future of collaboration look like? Is it virtual face-to-face meetings, better technology, more intuitive meeting spaces? With four generations in today’s workforce, the…

We are often inspired by creators who see the world in the widest range of colors. Emerging technologies and tools continue to provide content creators with more precise, accurate and consistent color experiences, maximizing their creative potential. A recent Dell-sponsored IDC research study1 further concluded that with the adoption of immersive technologies, it will necessitate more advanced monitors designed to support new emerging workloads like data-centric and design tasks. As the world’s number one monitor company2, we are relentless in…

As a leader in technology and business, we believe investing in women is a winning strategy that ultimately helps boost the global economy. Women make impactful contributions to all aspects of our business and we’re committed to accelerating the powerful role of women in the workforce and economic growth. We’re helping provide better access to areas where women have historically been underserved: technology, capital and networks. So, what happens when women at the top of their craft are brought together…

This is the fifth installment of an ongoing series “Sweet on Dell Technologies.” Co-authored with Jeff Clarke, Vice Chairman, Products and Operations, Dell Technologies. A few weeks ago, I was in New York for our Dell Technologies 2019 Business Update. It’s a given that we reviewed our company strategy and financials, but what we also wanted attendees to take away is the depth of our innovation. Innovation is nothing new for our business – it’s what our customers expect from…

The grueling summer heat in Austin is ending, and the fall breeze is finally starting to creep into the forecast. I love the fall because it has always had its share of traditions. Whether it is carving pumpkins – or going apple picking – or dressing up for Halloween. For me personally, the fall brings an abundance of events in which to celebrate and be thankful, birthdays, anniversaries and of course family gatherings during holidays. Our planet also embraces traditions….

In 2012, the United Nations established International Day of the Girl Child. The 2019 theme is “GirlForce: unscripted and unstoppable” and celebrates the achievements by, with and for girls. At Dell Technologies, we believe that girls are unstoppable and our social impact strategy includes a wide-reaching focus on improving lives and advancing opportunities for youth. Empowering girls (and women) is critical to business and workforce success—companies with top gender diversity are 21% more likely to have financial returns above industry peers.[1]…

A few months ago, I read a Wall Street Journal article which really stuck with me. It was focused on the workplace divide when it comes to adopting new technology. The main takeaways? Tech resistance is not based on age and workers need to see how new technology will benefit them for optimal adoption. Recent research conducted by Dell with IPSOS, an independent firm, provides a case in point: Despite the understanding from employees that passwords protect their business’ data, 62% of employees of all ages…

Dell’s Experience Innovation Group (EIG) believes the future of personal computing lies in the combination of hardware and software to deliver immersive, predictive experiences. Recognizing that form factor plays a significant role in how we interact with technology. We began exploring multi-screen devices around a decade ago and have been working with partners to explore this deeper the last few years. Modern, smart and responsive devices have the potential of unlocking new ways of working; encouraging collaboration and boosting productivity….

In today’s “always-on”, digital world, business-to-consumer (B2C) experiences are fundamentally changing business-to-business (B2B) expectations. Delivering great products and services, while important, are now table stakes. So, what will be our ultimate differentiator? The experience we deliver to all of our customers. It’s been proven that leaders in customer service outperform the Dow by 93%, the Fortune 500 by 20% and the NASDAQ by 335%.[1] That should not be a surprise, given 74% of companies say they’ll pay more for a…

We are poised to take digital transformation to the next level, and I’m honored to be Dell’s new Chief Digital Officer to further hone and strengthen our engagement with business partners, cultivate a strong engineering and operational discipline and culture, and lead with simplicity and accountability. The role combines the traditional roles and responsibilities of a CIO along with the emerging role of change agent for digital transformation. It reminds me and my whole organization that we are a key…

The following is a guest post from Meghan E. Butler, founder of Frame+Function, and contributor to Fast Company and Thrive Global. There is something to be said for a hotel ballroom full of people supporting women. But not just any people, but those who are the smartest at what they do. Whose brains and businesses buck the outdated conventions of a legacy economy. At the Dell Women Entrepreneur’s Network (DWEN) summit in Singapore this July, we experienced something quite exceptional…

We’ll be showcasing our latest PCs, of course, as the move to thin and light continues across the industry. It’s not only about smaller form factors though –…

By Karen Gilchrist, CNBC, July 16th, 2019 The San Francisco Bay Area has overtaken New York City as the most accommodative place in the world to be a female entrepreneur, according to a new study. Efforts to eliminate the so-called bro culture, increased access to funding for women and ongoing tech developments were some of the ways in which the Bay Area leapfrogged its East Coast rival to rank top of the 2019 Women Entrepreneur Cities (WE Cities) Index. Indeed,…

Route Fifty, Emma Coleman, July 25, 2019 Small businesses have been called the “engine of cities,” contributing to economic growth, boosting employment opportunities, and sparking innovation. There are 30.2 million small businesses in the U.S., and they employ a whopping 47.5% of the private workforce.  More than 12 million of those companies in the U.S. are owned by women—and that number has risen dramatically in the past decade. But while the number of female entrepreneurs has increased, many cities could be doing more to create a better culture for women in business, according to a new…
