Dell Technologies aims for startup agility at enterprise scale

The #Dell #EMC marriage is in its honeymoon stage, and CEO Michael Dell has all sorts of loving things to say about his new #DellTechnologies conglomerate

In his keynote address at the tech giant's first customer event since Dell completed the acquisition of EMC, Dell touted what he believes is his company's unique position as a leading force in IT transformation.

According to Dell, bigger is better, private companies have it better than public ones, and hybrid cloud is the natural destination for today's enterprises.

"We are the largest enterprise systems company in the entire world," Dell said. "This unique structure allows us to be nimble and innovative like a startup but at the scale of a global powerhouse."

Looking ahead, Dell said Dell Technologies is positioning itself as a one-stop-shop for the entire IT stack, including servers, storage, virtualization, security, cloud infrastructure, the software-defined data center, and platform-as-a-service, just to name a few.

He also stressed that being a leader with such extreme capacity is possible because Dell Technologies is not beholden to shareholders.

"As a privately controlled company, we have an advantaged financial structure," Dell said. "Our cash flow to debt service ratios are phenomenal and far less than what our competitors spend on buy backs and dividends. We love being a privately controlled company because we are focused on long-term success, not short term EPS. We can think in a time horizon that's measured in decades."
