To complement the ICT efforts to keep technological issues at bay, consider instituting a product model that helps you align people, processes and technology. The perfect product model will help your ICT team execute nimbly on short-term deliverables with an eye on the long game.
To that end, organisations should lean into a model that sees all departments operating on the same line of devices. This gives ICT the ability to understand that set manufacturer's iterative features. As CIOs and technical departments would know, understanding and being able to navigate a single BIOS or system – as opposed to different setups across the board – can make the task at hand much easier.
Importantly, this process requires IT to work together with the business, with teams collaborating to achieve outcomes. If change is required, course correction happens quickly. Moreover, this would help IT achieve frequent wins, which is a great motivator, as it elevates them in the eyes of the business.

Organisations are facing a range of challenges – inflation, slowing economic growth and ongoing supply constraints. Many companies are struggling to predict what’s on the immediate horizon for their business. However, one thing is clear: they continue to see technology investments as key to their competitive advantage. They need a partner who can work with them and deliver in any environment. Dell Technologies' overarching goal is to be that trusted partner, helping their customers and partners compete and succeed.
Modernising the business requires a delicate dance of putting people, processes and technology in the best positions for success and aligning them all along cloud and product models. CIOs can leave the right legacy by ensuring that the business remains nimble, capable of regular modernisation and resilient for years to come. Technology trends are forever changing, and businesses must change with them. What surprised and delighted a customer in 2020 won’t mean much in 2022, let alone 2025.

Not all departments require the same workstations boasting the same capabilities. For example, accounting would need less processing power than design and development. would. In fact, this sentiment can be taken even further. Home-based workers require more video capability support but less mobility. Battery life is no longer as important. As the workforce subsequently becomes more hybrid, team member priorities shift yet again to technologies and tools that accommodate a mix of home, office and mobile work.
Instead of giving everybody the same PC, CIOs and ICT leaders should match PCs and peripherals with individuals based on their function, role and location. With this in mind, Dell Technologies offers an extensive list of desktop and laptop devices that can fit your respective departments' needs.
In summary, organisations should:
