Dell EMC Looks to Automate PC Configuration

As IT organizations in increasingly larger numbers make the shift to #Windows10, many of them are rediscovering the trials and tribulations of having to configure large number of PCs and tablets at the same time. Aiming to automate as much of that process as possible, #DellEMC this week launched #ProDeployClient Suite, a series of services exposed via a portal that IT organizations can employ to load images on systems as they are manufactured by Dell EMC to outsource the entire deployment process. John Moody, vice president for global support deployment services for Dell EMC, says most IT organizations have better things to do in terms of adding value to the business than configuring PCs. The ProDeploy Client suite provides three different options for making use of Dell EMC to either simply load images, provide a single point of contact, or support or manage the entire process on their behalf. On average, Moody says, depending on the type of service invoked, Dell EMC charges anywhere from $50 to $150 per PC to deliver these services. The alternative, says Moody, is for the IT organization to perform these tasks itself or hire a third-party service provider to do it at a much higher cost.
