Dell’s focus on helping our customers “Do More..” was reinforced over the last two weeks as we opened new “Solution Centers” in Sydney and New York City.

I was an only child until I was 12, and until my brother was born, I was also the only grandchild. So my early Christmas memories involved what seemed like mountains of presents that I tore into like a Tasmanian devil . It was awesome. J Once everyone finished their coffee and changed out of their jammies, we filled giant garbage bags with the shredded wrapping paper and torn packaging and set them out on the curb, where they'd soon be joined by the used, slowly drying Christmas tree...

It hasn’t been long since when thinking about medical imaging we would visualize a physician holding an x-ray image to a light box as he or she studied the anatomy. By today’s standards, those old medical images would seem quaint if they didn’t belie the very real image management problem the country’s hospitals will face in the coming years. The confluence of sophisticated new medical-imaging technologies and federal regulations that encourage the expansion of electronic...

The topic of when we were going to upgrade Streak users from Donut (Android 1.6) to Froyo (Android 2.2) has been the source of much conversation since we launched the device in the UK back in May . We continue to roll out the over-the-air update to Streak devices outside the United States since we started the process last month . The reality is that there are a lot of moving parts in the mobile space. Offering a product like Streak means working with multiple carriers in multiple regions. Many times...

Windows 7 Wide Open: Tools for a Swift and Successful Migration

Posted over 2 years ago

For many organizations, the migration to Windows 7 will be in full swing in 2011. The driver for this is that support for Windows XP is ending in 2014 , and according to Gartner, it takes the typical business 14 to 18 months to fully migrate to a new OS. Added to the migration challenge is the reality that nearly two thirds of XP applications will need remediation to work with Windows 7, according to Dell’s real world experience. This combined upgrade/application compatibility process can take...
