1. Go from out of the box to
in-market faster than ever
It starts with Dell OEM Solutions and Windows Embedded
Your solutions have specific, unique functionality, much of which comes from a specialised software stack. But when
that stack has to be installed using your own process or an extra integrator, it can slow down your time to market.
With the Windows Embedded operating system activated and licensed by Dell, you can receive your systems with your
entire software stack preinstalled. Your existing applications and drivers are 100% compatible with Windows embedded
operating systems.

Rely on the operating system that drives your solution for longer
For your solution to meet the standards both you and your customers
expect, it needs to accommodate specific capabilities. Often, it must meet
certain compliance standards and have customisable options such as a
personalised logo at start up, boot to application and lockdown features.
Most importantly, it needs to provide a controlled experience for your end
customers that integrates seamlessly with your applications. But how do
you have all of that ready to go, out of the box?
It’s all part of the factory process
By utilising Windows Embedded products and Dell customisation
services, you can:
• Benefit from an extended lifecycle that lets you keep using the
same operating system for longer — giving you more time to
migrate to the next generation
• Have Dell license, install and activate Windows Embedded products
for you (when Dell OEM Solutions deploys your master image)
• Customise your embedded operating system to have your
logo at start up, boot directly to your application, and more
(when Dell OEM Solutions deploys your master image)
• Receive products from Dell that are ready to ship to your
customer and include your specialised software stack
• Have end-to-end software stack management without adding
extra touches outside of the Dell factory process
