Dell government solutions - meet the other Dell As a professional working in the public sector you will be more than aware of the role played by technology in the successful delivery of efficient processes, cost-saving opportunities and the transformation of services and working practices. What you may not know is that Dell has partnered with government, defence and intelligence departments as well as police forces across the UK for over 15 years, delivering solutions and services that empower staff and citizens, connect communities and improve service delivery. Our solutions have tackled just about every IT operational issue faced in government, from enabling a mobile workforce to digital forensics and providing containerised data centres ready for deployment in theatres of military operation. With dedicated government, defence, intelligence and police account teams and specialists across the country, we understand both the challenges facing leadership teams within government departments and the technology needed to overcome them. In recent years, Dell has undertaken an extensive strategic acquisition programme designed to help customers to: • Reduce CapEx through the commoditisation and standardisation of everything in their infrastructures whilst retaining flexibility to tailor to individual requirements • Reduce OpEx by driving automation and manageability across not only Dell solutions but those of other vendors too. This more agile, scalable architecture provides Dell customers with greater transformative agility and efficiency in tackling their strategic and operational imperatives. This guide is designed to give an overview of Dell government solutions and provide some insights into the benefits they deliver to individual stakeholders within government departments, enabling technology to deliver better service outcomes, easier ICT management and cost efficiencies to drive innovation. We know, of course, that each organisation faces its own unique challenges, and that one size cannot fit all. We hope, however, that this guide will serve to start a conversation that you will find both revealing and insightful.

Our described approach is both ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’; we begin by summarizing existing studies on the cloud market, and review how the EASI-CLOUDS project partners are positioned on the cloud value chain. We review emerging trends, concepts, business models and value drivers in the cloud market, and present results from a survey targeted at top cloud bloggers and cloud professionals. We then review how the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure components create value both directly and by facilitating brokerage and federation. We then examine how cloud market opportunities can be grasped through different business models. Specifically, we examine value creation and value capture in different generic business models that may benefit from the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure. We conclude by providing recommendations on how the different EASI-CLOUDS demonstrators may be commercialized through different business models. © EASI-CLOUDS Consortium. 2 Deliverable 1.5 – Final Business Models for EASI-CLOUDS v1.0 Table of contents Table of contents ...........................................................................................................................

  • Why the Dell / EMC Combination Makes Sense for Customers
    Why the Dell / EMC Combination Makes Sense for Customers Synergistic product portfolio and go-to-market strategies have potential to set IT customers up for success in the digital economy Executive Summary One of the biggest technology deals in history at over $60 billion is about to unfold as Dell prepares to buy EMC. At EMC World in May 2016, Michael Dell made this acquisition more real than ever when he announced the new entity’s name, Dell Technologies, which will be an umbrella brand for the collection of companies that will include enterprise and client solutions and services, and other strategic assets including VMware, Pivotal, RSA, Virtustream, and SecureWorks. With just a few major milestones to go, it appears that all is on track for the companies to merge the enterprise organizations as Dell EMC under the umbrella brand and to begin operating as one by around mid-year. Dell and EMC are positioning themselves as the path to the cloud for IT customers. Moor Insights & Strategy (MI&S) believes Dell’s leadership in compute and EMC’s leadership in storage and converged infrastructure have the potential to become building blocks for a one-stop shop for enterprise datacenter customers. Other assets such as security, virtualization software, and cloud solutions can help round out the portfolio. Moreover, Dell’s client computing business and IoT practices can bring insight into client computing and IoT models that will be key drivers for future datacenter requirements. Dell EMC should focus on continuing to build up their networking business and making it a more cohesive part of their end-to-end datacenter story.

Those who disrupt industries can change consumer behavior, alter economics, and transform lives. What caused the once-disruptive Dell’s growth rate and stock price to decline in the mid-2000s, and how might Dell thrive again? What are the lessons for other companies? This study analyzes how innovative cultures are created, lost, and reborn in large companies through the lens of a long-term case study, namely my 13 years at Dell. The research fuses Innovation and Foresight frameworks, principally Curry & Hodgson’s Three Horizons framework and Hill’s Willing and Able framework, and shows that Dell lost its innovation edge when a cultural shift and the pressures of Wall Street crushed risk-taking.
