Direct2Dell

We've been working hot and heavy here at Dell over the last several months getting geared up for our Diamond sponsorship at Oracle OpenWorld next week in San Francisco.  Our goal throughout planning has been to provide our customers a diverse and valuable experience, whether it be in Michael Dell's keynote, one of the breakout sessions with Dell presenters, in our displays on the exhibit show floor or by following our blogs and tweets.   We plan to do this by matching all our activities to our mantra when it comes to Dell and Oracle solutions - Complete, Open and Integrated.

Complete:

• 14 breakout sessions on a wide-array of topics with Dell presenters
• Hands on demos in our booth in the exhibit hall, including servers, storage and advisor tools
• Experts in our products, solutions and services on hand to answer your questions
• Lots of cool hardware from notebooks to servers to storage so that you can peak under the hood
• Short and informative presentations in our booth on a variety of topics from Dell experts and our partners

Open:

• Everyone who attends a presentation in our booth will be entered to win one of our new Dell Latitude Z portable notebooks
• Want to get all the info? Stop by the booth and ask for a USB memory key with lots of great info on Dell and Oracle (no paper handouts - maybe you've heard about all our Green initiatives? Plus with all the H1N1 and seasonal flu going around, we've come prepared with hand sanitizer.

Integrated:

• Involvement at the event from the CEO on down - Michael Dell will be speaking at a keynote session on Tuesday morning, so don't miss out on a great chance to hear about his vision of the efficient enterprise. (Be sure to come back next Tuesday and I'll give you a first-hand account of his talk and the audience reaction)
• Representation across our product lines from client to enterprise, IT, solutions and services so that you can experience the full breadth of Dell solutions for Oracle
• Opportunities for you to speak, be heard and converse through social media avenues, like blogs and Twitter

We're looking forward to seeing you there.   Check back on Inside Enterprise IT and Dell TechCenter for more blogs and follow @dellatORACLEwld on Twitter to keep up with all that will be going on next week.
