Digital transformation is rewriting the rules of business. Driven by staggering amounts of data, it is disrupting business models, products, and experiences for organizations of all sizes. Reports suggest that by the end of 2019, digital transformation spending will reach $1.7 trillion worldwide, a 42% increase from 2017.1

To succeed in the face of digital disruption, organizations are looking for new ways to mobilize agility, drive efficiency, and become more customer-focused. For most, this starts with taking their IT infrastructure to the next level. It includes modernizing technology, keeping assets secure, and creating a workplace that’s future-ready. Everywhere, organizations are turning to IT to rapidly accelerate their ability to execute on ideas and create new value from applications and data.

In this fast-paced landscape, IT decision-makers for growing businesses understand the need to identify scalable solutions that automate operations and boost efficiency. Like larger organizations, they grapple with challenges around mobility, cloud, security, and operations.

For organizations looking to improve business outcomes while wrestling with tight IT budgets, the answer lies in the right end-to-end IT solutions, designed to scale to their unique needs. More and more IT pros are turning to trusted partners like Dell EMC for solutions that significantly boost productivity, while also delivering best-in-class IT services and rock-solid data security.

What IT Pros WantChapter 1

IT pros today are being pulled in multiple directions. They are expected to adapt to changing market demands and drive productivity, while keeping costs low. To navigate these obstacles, they are seeking solutions that deliver:

Security

Easy maintenance

Flexibility

Comprehensive support

In the current threat landscape, IT pros are demanding pur-pose-built solutions that help them stay compliant, ensure continuity, and avoid risk.

IT pros are looking to reduce complexity by investing in future- oriented solutions that are easy to deploy, require minimal maintenance, and drive maximum productivity.

Growing organizations demand solutions that are flexible and scalable, so they can adapt their resources to shifting busi-ness needs.

Instead of cobbling together disparate systems from different manufacturers, IT pros are favoring a full-service approach— using secure, network-integrated, all-in-one platforms—to transform data centers into responsive IT environments, while also enjoying deployment and lifecycle support.

For most organizations, identifying the right family of solutions is only the first step toward rethinking their infrastructure. Deployment and support are major challenges for companies that are already constrained by limited resources and budgets.

To make your IT investment as productive as possible, as quickly as possible, you need optimal support right out the gate. Dell EMC helps you get more out of your technology starting on day one. With Dell EMC ProDeploy Enterprise Suite and ProDeploy Client Suite, certified experts can support your team by managing every aspect of a deployment from configuration, logistics, and integration to deployment, data migration, and asset disposition.

Even after your end-user hardware solutions have been deployed, it’s important that you can access expert support to maintain your business momentum. Critical workloads require constant availability—and the systems supporting them need more than break/fix support. They require automated, proactive, and predictive measures to get ahead of problems before they occur.
