The IT department of today is no longer in the business of managing hardware or software - it provides the infrastructure that enables an organisation to grow and thrive.  IT managers don’t solve IT problems.  They deliver solutions that maximize profitability, minimize costs, and deliver operational efficiency. Whether it’s minimizing cloud complexity, mapping your migration from Server 2003 or just answering your critical, technical support questions, we’ve got consultants and technicians who are ready to help!


Special Interest Groups

This year’s Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are the result of attendee feedback from last year, which showed there was a real interest in being able to explore a subject in more depth, as part of a conversation rather than a formal presentation.

Refer to our local agenda to see which special interest groups are run on the day.



Keynotes & breakout sessions

We will be generally addressing some of the main concerns in today’s IT environments. Discover from Dell how your organisation can transform those pain points into a force for good.

Accelerate modernization with virtualization, convergence and cloud

We’ve seen the relentless advance of Moore’s law making computing, data and networking resources vastly more powerful, now we’re seeing these capabilities physically converged and virtualized, both within the enterprise and the public cloud. The challenge is to manage the applications so that they can be securely and seamlessly deployed to new platforms or to the cloud without disrupting business as usual.

Talk to Dell about how to maximize the economics of your infrastructure by optimizing resources to gain better service levels and increasing IT agility, while holding the line on costs, compliance and complexity.

Derive greater insights from all types of information

The challenge of Big Data for businesses is how to gain insights from increasing volumes of data more rapidly, using standardized hardware and software that doesn’t require a PhD in computer science to operate. How does an organisation handle:

• the volume of data
• the velocity or rate of acceleration of data
• the variety of sources the data is coming from

– and extract the potential value that all this data could bring to the enterprise?

Find out how Dell’s flexible Data Warehouse platforms can give your organisation the cost-efficient tools and agility to access data, and use it to deliver the insights that help drive decisions.

Safeguard against evolving and wide-ranging security threats

Privacy and compliance are mission critical factors for every company. Organizations of all sizes are at risk, with their secrets being potentially only a tweet away from going global. 79% of surveyed companies had experienced some type of significant security incident within the past year – the loss of data costs companies an average of $1.1M if they are not proactively securing their systems.

The risk is exacerbated by data being increasingly accessible anytime and anywhere, with fewer access points being corporately controlled. At the same time, the compliance demands on staff and systems are escalating.

Make Dell your best defence! Come and discover how our integrated solutions can deliver exceptional protection against advanced threats of loss, theft and malware across your entire organization.

Access resources anytime, anywhere and on any device

Gartner predicts that consumerization will be the most significant trend affecting IT for the next ten years. The trend is driven by simple, accessible, and pervasive technology that frees people to work on their own mobile, tablet, laptop or desktop any place, any time. For IT to maintain visibility and control and protect the organization from security breaches, it needs the tools to implement a holistic advice that encompasses:

• mobile device management
• application management
• data protection
• IT security

Discover how Dell Mobility Solutions can help your organisation develop and implement a strategy that balances the benefits of BYOD against the risks, by protecting company and employee-liable devices across physical, virtual, and cloud environments.
