Dell PC Optimized Deployment Model

Despite the continuing fall of PC prices, the total cost of owning and using PCs remains high, largely due to the cost of deploying them. IDC research shows that the average deployment cost is over $500 per PC, and costs exceeding $700 are not uncommon.

Recently, cost has become a major factor in the decision of many companies to delay technology refreshes. At the same time, cost-driven reductions with IT departments have left fewer disposable labor hours to handle IT needs, including deploying PCs. As the economy recovers, IDC believes that a major share of organizations will begin to upgrade their PC base. By adopting a higher level of maturity, organizations can reduce IT costs by up to 47 percent and IT labor time by up to 76 percent.

To help companies efficiently deploy PCs, Dell has developed a series of offerings that optimizes the PC deployment process. Designed to reduce deployment costs and network utilization during deployment and cycle times, the services and tools offered by the Dell™ Optimized Deployment Service Framework provide companies with significant competitive advantages.
