The managed-deployment strategy includes new capabilities like Dell's Weekend Notebook Exchange(a) and ComputraceComplete(R) Recovery Guarantee(b). The services support Dell's new line of desktop, notebook and workstation computers for business customers announced today at a Nasdaq Market site news conference. Dell's managed-deployment services are a component of Dell Managed Services An umbrella term for third-party monitoring and maintaining of computers, networks and software. The actual equipment may be inhouse or at the third-party's facilities, but the "managed" implies an ongoing effort; for example, making sure the equipment is running at a certain quality , which cover the full lifecycle of desktop and notebook systems.

"We selected Dell for primarily two reasons: price and service," said Bob Bennett, general manager, product development at Alias. "Certainly Dell is affordable, but it goes beyond that. Dell's easy to do business with." Managed Deployment Saves Customers Money Customers have told Dell that the deployment of new desktops and notebooks often takes too long, costs too much and is much too disruptive. "A manually performed PC migration takes more than four hours of a technician's time," said Michael Silver, vice president and research director at Gartner Inc. "Meanwhile the user typically is without their system for eight hours. On average this costs the company $226 per PC." Tools and processes Dell has introduced into the deployment process have helped reduce these customer costs. Dell managed deployment services, designed for mobile business professionals, begin in product development and continue until the technology hardware being replaced is properly recycled. Dell's direct business model enables customers' company software images and applications to be loaded during manufacturing through the company's custom factory integration (CFI CFI abbr. cost, freight, and insurance ) process. "Dell can frequently save customers up to 40 percent in cost over a typical manual deployment and can reduce the typical deployment time by more than half," said Steve Meyer Steve Meyer (21 March 1984 - ) is a South African professional rugby union player currently playing for French outfit USA Perpignan in the position flyhalf. Meyer attended high school at Kearsney College, a well-known South African sports boarding school in KwaZulu-Natal, from 1998 , vice president of marketing, Dell's services business. "Our approach to tailored product and service integration in the factory is a way for us to deliver value and security to customers." Take the Weekend Off on Dell Weekend Notebook Exchange, which enables customers to have existing data and files transferred to their new notebook is among Dell's new managed deployment capabilities. Customers shipping their old systems to Dell by Friday can have their software images installed, data transferred and in most cases their new system shipped to the customer on Monday.

Dell's Asset Recovery Services, which are included in the Weekend Notebook Exchange capability, ensure the old systems are properly recycled and their sensitive data overwritten.
