Tap into a massive market opportunity
IT Transformation represents a huge business opportunity for Dell partners – and we’re committed to supporting and helping you to stake your claim to a share of the market.
When influential industry analyst ESG surveyed more than 4,000 companies in 16 countries worldwide to ask about their approach to and progress with IT Transformation, it found that 81% of the survey respondents agreed that if they fail to embrace IT transformation, their company will not be able to remain competitive.1
While many organizations reported having IT Transformation initiatives underway, only 6% had already achieved fully transformed status1 – leaving a massive market opportunity open to you.
