The Challenges you face
Your business is unique. You often need to balance the requirements of tailor-made solutions against minimizing costs and disruption.
At the purchase and deployment stage, this means you could be faced with often costly delays while your computers are built and customized in multiple locations. This can also impact IT staff who may have to undertake basic installation tasks, which could easily be automated.
Finally, managing software images throughout the life of the systems can be tedious and expensive, eating away at limited IT time.The Dell Hardware Customization difference – Notebooks, Desktops and Servers
At Dell we have the solution; Hardware Customization, a logical extension of the Dell built to order model and that's unique in the breadth of solutions we can provide.
Hardware Customization brings you the computers you need, already built to your specification during manufacture at our ISO 9001 certified factories. We work with you to develop your required specifications – and once agreed, we can build your systems with no additional lead-time.Hardware Integration
