For years, large enterprises have looked to Dell Technologies and other managed services providers to help manage their IT operations. Some wanted to supplement internal teams with specialized IT skills while others wanted to take advantage of best practices. Still others needed to free up key talent to focus on strategic business priorities.
Now, interest in managed services is growing rapidly among businesses from 300 to 3000 employees. Managing IT operations in these firms has rapidly become more complex because of cloud applications, new development methodologies, bring-your-own mobile devices, and so on. On top of that, IT is under pressure to help their organizations adopt modern collaboration and workplace support technologies for on-site, at-home, and on-the-road workers.
To free up IT from the time-consuming, but critical tasks required to deliver and support a productive work-from-anywhere experience, Dell is expanding its ProManage portfolio of managed workplace services capabilities. New services are being added in five key management areas including: service desk, device management, collaborative applications, security, and network support.
The new device management and collaboration solutions are designed around Microsoft Endpoint Manager and Microsoft 365, including Teams and SharePoint. This builds on the success of the previously launched Dell ProManage for end users, which leverages VMware Workspace ONE for device management.
Expanded, Modular Options
With ProManage, IT teams can now select from a growing menu of modular managed services that can be mixed, matched, and added to over time to meet unique customer needs. These solutions keep user productivity high and devices healthy, facilitate collaboration, and protect against cyber threats.
The latest Dell ProManage portfolio of services includes:
- Service Desk – Delivers 24×7 hardware and software help desk support for end users, when and how they need it. Employees access support customized for their organization via an online mobile or desktop portal, which includes self-help tools, knowledge center, and links to live chat and phone support.
- Device Management with Microsoft Endpoint Manager – Leverages Microsoft Endpoint Manager through Azure cloud for modern endpoint device provisioning and monitoring for Windows 10 and mobile endpoints. The service also provides security capabilities such as protecting data, devices and identities against cyber threats and controlling unauthorized access and copying of corporate data.
- Managed Services for Microsoft 365 – Offloads administration, support, and management of M365 tenant and workloads. Dell experts provide secure, personalized workspaces for maximum productivity wherever work is done.
- Managed Services for Network and Infrastructure – Provides a single source of expertise and accountability for day-to-day monitoring, managing, and maintenance of multivendor network, server and storage devices that serve workplace systems.
