Dell Launches Deployment Services to Help Customers Easily Refresh Technology
4 February 2005The managed-deployment strategy includes new capabilities like Dell's Weekend Notebook Exchange1 and ComputraceComplete® Recovery Guarantee2. The services support Dell's new line of desktop, notebook and workstation computers for business customers announced today at a Nasdaq Market site news conference.
Dell's managed-deployment services are a component of Dell Managed Services, which cover the full lifecycle of desktop and notebook systems. Managed services, which also include day-to-day support, are a key component of how customers can realize value and the lowest total cost of ownership.
Alias® , one of the world's leading innovators of 3D graphics and creator of Oscar award-winning software, Maya® , is among many customers that have standardized on Dell products and services.
"We selected Dell for primarily two reasons, price and service," said Bob Bennett, general manager, product development at Alias. "Certainly Dell is affordable, but it goes beyond that. Dell's easy to do business with."
Managed Deployment Saves Customers Money
Customers have told Dell that the deployment of new desktops and notebooks often takes too long, costs too much and is much too disruptive.
"A manually performed PC migration takes more than four hours of a technician's time," said Michael Silver, vice president and research director at Gartner Inc. "Meanwhile the user typically is without their system for eight hours. On average this costs the company $226 per PC."
Tools and processes Dell has introduced into the deployment process have helped reduce these customer costs. Dell managed deployment services, designed for mobile business professionals, begin in product development and continue until the technology hardware being replaced is properly recycled. Dell's direct business model enables customers' company software images and applications to be loaded during manufacturing through the company's custom factory integration ( CFI ) process.
"Dell can frequently save customers up to 40 percent in cost over a typical manual deployment and can reduce the typical deployment time by more than half," said Steve Meyer, vice president of marketing, Dell's services business. "Our approach to tailored product and service integration in the factory is a way for us to deliver value and security to customers."
Take the Weekend Off on Dell
Weekend Notebook Exchange, which enables customers to have existing data and files transferred to their new notebook is among Dell's new managed deployment capabilities. Customers shipping their old systems to Dell by Friday can have their software images installed, data transferred and in most cases their new system shipped to the customer on Monday. The goal is a two day turnaround.
Customers who order Weekend Notebook Exchange and return their old notebooks to Dell receive market value for them. Dell's Asset Recovery Services, which are included in the Weekend Notebook Exchange capability, ensure the old systems are properly recycled and their sensitive data overwritten.
Notebook Lost or Stolen-No Problem
Help is close by for mobile professionals whose notebooks are lost or stolen. Customers whose computer is lost or stolen can receive up to $1000 if their computer is not recovered within 60 days with Absolute's ComputraceComplete Recovery Guarantee2. The software can be loaded in Dell's factory.
Dell Delivers New Desktops Notebooks and Workstations
Dell's Managed Deployment services complement the global launch of the Dell LatitudeTM D-family notebooks--the D410, D610, and D810. Each notebook meets a specific customer need around mobility, portability and performance and can be purchased with Dell's enhanced client service offerings.
The company also announced two Dell Precision WorkstationsTM , the Dell Precision M70 and the Dell Precision M20, which both deliver outstanding processor and graphics performance.
Additionally, Dell unveiled its latest corporate desktop, the OptiPlexTM GX280. This product is a step in Dell's continuing commitment to design environmentally friendly products. The OptiPlex GX280 chassis enables increased customer usability with improved design, tool-less components and efficient diagnostics.
