Dell E Works offers the products, services and resources that businesses, governments and educational institutions in the U.S. need to deploy scalable and reliable e-business infrastructure and services based on Dell, Microsoft and Intel technologies. Dell E Works products and services are available today over the Internet at www.delleworks.com. The latest offerings include:
Dell E Works was first introduced in February as the company began offering Web hosting services to small-business customers. Since then, more than 8,000 business customers have signed up for Dell E Works services. The expanded Dell E Works offerings include Internet infrastructure hardware and software, expert services, strategic partnerships, flexible financing, Internet services and high-availability services and build on the more than $1.5 billion in flexible financing commitments Dell has made to the Internet infrastructure market to date. "Dell E Works represents best-in-class solutions for any organization of any size that wants to run their e-business through a single point of contact," said Dell Vice Chairman Kevin Rollins. "Naturally you're going to want that single point of contact to be an expert on Web business. With more than $40 million a day in sales over the Internet, Dell provides customers with a rare combination of products, services and experience." The Dell E Works program will deliver enterprise-ready solutions based on Dell hardware, featuring Intel processors, and Microsoft software. "Each new wave of technology increases the gulf in value between new Intel Architecture e-business solutions and propriety RISC systems," said Sean Maloney, Intel senior vice president and director, sales and marketing. "Over the past year, we have stepped up our e-business end-to-end solutions focus. The Dell E Works program pushes this further, and will give companies the flexibility, scalability, and world-class price/performance that e-business requires." "Microsoft is committed to working with companies such as Dell and Intel to further e-business solutions and deliver the reliable, scalable Windows 2000 and .NET enterprise server solutions that help businesses of all sizes compete in this next phase of the Internet," said Peter Boit, vice president of e-commerce solutions at Microsoft Corp. "The Microsoft e-business solution, as part of the Dell E Works program, brings customers immediate performance today, while preparing them to take advantage of tomorrow's .NET software and services." Experienced Infrastructure Consultants at the Ready Infrastructure consultants who know how Dell sells $40 million a day over the Internet are available to customers who want help in deploying their infrastructure operations.
