The coming of age of an Africa that is more intelligent and more connected by the minute, and that will ultimately become intertwined with the world’s vast Internet of Things was celebrated in Kenya recently during the Dell watching party.
Regional employees of Dell converged at the Dell offices in Nairobi on 21 September to acknowledge the exciting new growth possibilities following the merger between Dell and EMC. This was part of the global celebration of the union between these two industry-leading companies.
The watching party brought together colleagues from the two companies, who mingled over lunch after following the Day One live streaming event together.
