growing portion of our commercial business is 
now with our partners, and we see that 
continuing to increase. We’re very committed to 
these relationships, and we value our channel 
partners’ unique insights into what customers 
want and need from IT solutions. When our 
customers grow and succeed, so do our 
partners and so do we.”

Editor's Notes

  1.   As Michael Dell has said, our focus remains squarely on our customers, creating value in their lives and for their organizations.
  2. Introducing the world’s largest startup Dell is once again a privately-held company. We couldn’t be more excited about what lies ahead. We see ourselves as the world’s largest startup, tapping into our entrepreneurial spirit to inspire innovation and fresh thinking. Yet, we are far more than your average startup. We have a strong balance sheet, a solid cash flow, a globally-recognized brand, millions of customers worldwide, and over 100,000 agents of change ready to further our bold vision—helping people achieve their full potential. You may wonder what this means for you. What customers value from us will remain the same. We will continue to focus on serving you, solving your complex challenges and delivering a best-in-class overall experience. And we will give you the power to do more—even more than before. As a private company, we make decisions that put the customer first. We focus solely on creating value for our customers and our customers alone. All of this leads to several advantages. You will see even more customer-inspired innovation, a greater focus on solutions, and a more forward-thinking approach to solving big challenges. Inspired innovation We are now free to accelerate our strategy. We can make bolder choices in how, where, and when we invest to propel our company forward and deliver greater value to our customers—without concern of backlash from the street. We will continue to pursue both organic and inorganic investments. We will embrace prudent risks—like a startup company—to bring our customers inspired innovations that matter to their business (or organization). And unlike others who seem to invent for the sake of inventing or who pour millions of dollars into impractical research programs, we instead will continue to make smart, strategic, and targeted investments that address real-world challenges—just as we always have but with greater intensity. And we are disrupting the industry yet again, by innovating not simply what we deliver but how we deliver it. We have refined the Dell business model to ease and accelerate the purchase of our more transactional products, paving the way for a greater emphasis on solutions. Solution focused Refining our manufacturing efficiency (i.e. through Smart Select) makes our products and solutions easier to buy, which saves you time and money. But there’s more to the story. With popular configurations more standardized and readily available, more of our time is freed up to help you solve bigger challenges. We can evolve our selling approach and concentrate more effectively on in-depth, longer-sales-cycle solution selling. Keep in mind we have been transitioning to a more enhanced solution-oriented approach for many years now. But as a private company we have the freedom to accelerate our transformation, and make the necessary investments to deepen our relationship with customers, expand our presence in emerging markets, and further develop our channel partnerships. We will continue to bring you technology solutions that range from endpoint devices to the data center to the cloud. And we will continue to simplify the complex and make the powerful easy to use across the entire technology lifecycle, just as we always have, but with increased determination as we look to the future. Forward thinking Few would argue that technology innovation is accelerating at a pace much faster than anyone could have anticipate—with many disruptive technologies and market forces converging all at once. As a result, organizations are finding it difficult to choose the right path forward, taking a wait-and-see approach, postponing tough decisions. We see this “decision paralysis” as a significant obstacle for many people and an opportunity for us to address it. By investing boldly, we are working to re-envision the traditional technology model—to jumpstart the future—and build a fast track to more modern architectures (e.g. Cloud, Big Data, mobility, security) with standardized infrastructure components that enable you to more effectively move forward faster and be more nimble and agile in the long run. We will amplify our efforts to accelerate modernization of both enterprise and client computing, but do it in a manner that is uniquely Dell—by democratizing new trends, making the best technologies more accessible to all, putting more power into the hands of more people than ever before. We encourage you to tell us how we are doing as we embark on this new stage of our journey, and we hope that you will join us as we make history together. ###
