Dell Technologies announced joint commitment with four Institutes of Higher Learning

Leave a comment

On 3rd December 2021, Dell Technologies announced a joint commitment with four Institutes of Higher Learning (IHL) in Singapore that would help shape the next generation of technology talent in Singapore. This joint commitment would enhance the pre-employment training curriculum for over 5,000 tertiary students in Singapore over the next two years. The programme seeks to build and attract a robust talent pipeline for the local information and communications technology (ICT) sector by equipping the students with industry-relevant skills.

Dell Technologies, together with the the four IHLs, Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), Singapore Management University (SMU), Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) and Singapore Polytechnic (SP), they will co-develop new content for curriculum modules, specialist diplomas and degree courses that are focused on critical core skills tied to new and emerging technologies such as cloud computing, data analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) and digital cities management.

Those key skills were identified based on industry needs that came through feedback from Dell Technologies, its partners and customers. They align with the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s (IMDA) Services 4.0 roadmap. This roadmap envisions the future of services using emerging technologies in a digital economy.

The launch of this new joint commitment initiative between Dell Technologies and the four IHLs was presented and delivered by Dell Technologies Academy. This momentous event was witnessed by Mr Tan Kiat How, Minister of State, Ministry of Communications & Information at Dell Technologies Executive Briefing Solution Centre at One@Changi City. The programme comes under the Dell Technologies Digital Future – Made in Singapore umbrella, which aims to fast track the adoption of future-ready digital solutions and drive innovations in Singapore for partners and customers globally.

“The Government is committed to developing our youths to seize the exciting opportunities in the digital economy, which has grown despite the economic contractions elsewhere. Industry partners such as Dell Technologies play a key role in translating this growth into good opportunities for Singaporeans, especially in the area of emerging technologies. We look forward to more of such partnerships, that really bring the possibilities of technology to life,” said Minister of State Mr Tan Kiat How, Minister of State, Ministry of Communications & Information.

“Dell Technologies is committed to collaborate with the Singapore government and the tertiary education institutions to help shape the next generation of tech talent. Together, we can help drive human progress with technology, values and purpose,” said Amit Midha, President, Asia Pacific & Japan, and Global Digital Cities, Dell Technologies. “Under our Digital Future – Made in Singapore initiative, our strategic partnerships with Singapore Institute of Technology, Singapore Management University, Ngee Ann Polytechnic and Singapore Polytechnic will enhance the overall tech learning curriculum for students, uplift the ICT and cloud-native ecosystem in Singapore and advance the skills and employability of our future workforce. We will continue to build on these partnerships and are open to forge new ones to expand on the growing tech ecosystem.”

Prof Chua Kee Chaing, President-designate, Singapore Institute of Technology said, “SIT is happy to co-develop content with Dell to jointly train future ICT talents. As Singapore’s University of Applied Learning, we provide avenues for students to work on real-world projects that deepen their knowledge and skills. This uniquely designed programme will allow students to acquire industry-relevant knowledge on emerging technologies and gain rich insights through hands-on projects and close industry mentorship.”

Professor Timothy Clark, Provost of Singapore Management University said, “As the digital transformation of industries, economies and societies accelerate, there is strong demand in the public and private sectors for graduates with sound knowledge and training in new and emerging technologies such as cloud-native skills and digital cities management. Collaborations with industry and technology providers, such as Dell Technologies, are part of our overall efforts to nurture future-ready graduates who are able to create value to business and society with industry-relevant skills. We are confident that the knowledge and skills gained from our growing collaboration with Dell Technologies can boost the employability of our students and enable them to be even better prepared for evolving technological trends.”

Mr Lim Kok Kiang, Principal & CEO, Ngee Ann Polytechnic said, “Ngee Ann Polytechnic is pleased to partner Dell Technologies to nurture our future infocomm talents, especially in emerging areas such as Virtualisation and Cloud Native App Development. With industry currency being a key focus area, this collaboration is another strategic partnership for learners at NP to gain proficiency in the latest industry software and exposure to real-world applications. This is very much aligned with our commitment to equip learners with relevant knowledge and skills to better prepare them for careers in the cloud era.”

Mr Soh Wai Wah, Principal and CEO, Singapore Polytechnic said, “As industries and businesses fast-track their digital adoption, it is vital to shift and transform our workforce to be more resilient and ready to meet the demands of an expanding digital economy. Our partnership to innovate with Dell will enable SP to nurture a future talent pool of engineers and software developers with the capabilities to build cloud-native solutions that allow enterprises to deploy highly scalable systems in an agile manner. This co-innovation ecosystem will create even greater learning value to our students when they gain access to work on industry projects and develop solutions that integrate Dell’s technologies.”

Access to curated courses on cloud and dedicated mentorship

Dell Technologies will work closely with IHL professors and lecturers, they are able to offer customised tech expertise and consultation to help in the planning of the curriculum as well as helping to curate cloud-native content that can be included in the students’ learning curriculum. Beyond curriculum design, students can also benefit from Dell Technologies industry experts’ insights, and mentorship will also be offered to students as they navigate their final year projects and industry attachments.

Students can look forward to immersing in the latest emerging technologies and industry-relevant content such as DevOps, microservices, cloud-native security, containers and Kubernetes. They will also get opportunities for hands-on experience via lab tutorial projects that highlight the importance and complexity of managing applications in an enterprise environment.

With the current hybrid education model, students from the four IHLs will be granted access to a suite of self-guided e-learning courses via Dell Technologies’ digital learning platform. These courses are designed to provide students with practical tech knowledge and skills that are in demand by the ICT sector, enhancing their employability and providing a head start to their future technology careers.

Ongoing effort to nurture technology talent pool

The latest collaboration with the four IHLs is an extension of Dell Technologies’ tech skills accelerator initiative announced in February 2021, which aims to equip fresh graduates, mid-career professionals and students in Singapore with practical knowledge and skills in cloud computing, data protection and management, data science and big data analytics by 2023. Beyond students, Dell Technologies continues to work with its network of partners and customers to support mid-career professionals with skills training and enhancement for the data era, through its Dell Technologies Skills Up programme.

“Being part of the Dell Technologies Skills Up programme gave our employees the chance to be trained in core critical skills such as Cloud Infrastructure and Data Analytics. ST Engineering believes in continual learning and upskilling of our employees. In 2021, employees from Mission Software & Services have accumulated over 800 hours of training under this program. This is especially critical in the fast changing and dynamic digital landscape. We seek to work with strong, likeminded partners like Dell Technologies, and invest in the growth of our digital talent.” said Rajagopal, Senior Vice President/General Manager, Mission Software & Services, ST Engineering.

Dell Technologies new enhancements to ProSupport Suite for PCs

Leave a comment

Dell Technologies recently announced new enhancements to ProSupport Suite for PCs, providing greater IT visibility, remote remediation, actionable recommendations, and the industry’s first automated custom update catalogue management and deployment capabilities.

Today’s modern working environment underwent massive changes and disruptions in the past two years due to the ongoing global pandemic. The modern employee of today can “do anything from anywhere”, whether it’s working from home or remote working, comes a new hybrid form of working environment of the future, this is the Future of Work. Technology, along with their range of work devices such as the PC has become more than just a tool, it’s now a key connection point for work and communication. The PC is a gateway for collaboration and productivity – any downtime is disruptive especially to the bottom line.

Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) has new support services and security solutions that enhance the way IT leaders provide a modern, intelligent, and secure PC experience for employees. There are added capabilities in the ProSupport Suite for PCs that build on the foundation of artificial intelligence and an always-on approach to make IT support easier and more customisable. New endpoint security offerings enhance the industry’s most secure commercial PCs(1) with new security verification capabilities and additional protections below the operating system.

“If your PCs aren’t productive, your employees aren’t either,” said Patrick Moorhead, founder and chief analyst, Moor Insights & Strategy. “Support services and security offerings must evolve with changing employee experiences and stay ahead of the threats that exist at every corner. I believe Dell Technologies is stepping up to the plate with some unique offerings that are designed with the future in mind.”

ProSupport Suite for PCs maximises productivity and uptime with new features that customise and tailor IT support

According to a recent survey from Forrester Consulting, 70% of companies globally plan to increase their investment in remote workforce in the next year (2). With ProSupport Suite for PCs, IT managers can now customise and automate the way they support employees and optimise PCs. New features include:

  • Customisable IT management tools: ProSupport Suite for PC is the first support service to provide IT managers with automated custom update catalogue management and deployment capabilities.(3) Now they have the ability to update Dell BIOS, drivers, firmware and applications automatically and remotely, and customise how those updates are grouped and managed.
  • Tailored, actionable information for PC fleet in one place: For the first time, IT managers can see the health, application experience and security scores for their entire Dell PC fleet in one glance. (4) They can use those scores over time to uncover performance trends and also take immediate action when needed, remotely, leveraging tailored recommendations and utilisation metrics provided by Dell Technologies AI-powered services support software.
  • Customised, remote workflows: Using a customised rules engine to define and orchestrate remote remediation workflows at scale, IT managers are also able to predetermine who receives updates automatically and how they are administered.
  • ProSupport Suite for PCs features available to channel partners and their customers: Channel partners can leverage the entire scope of our AI-driven support, tools, and portal within the ProSupport Suite for PCs. Partners can view and manage the support experience for multiple organisations using SupportAssist in TechDirect and have the option to leverage Dell Technologies’ expertise to overcome customer challenges on a case-by-case or fleet wide basis.

“Our recent study conducted by Forrester Consulting found that since the pandemic and the rise of remote work, 59% of Singapore businesses had to put emergency steps in place to keep data safe outside of their company network. This suggests that as we generate more data at the edge, the management, protection and recovery of it has become a lot more complicated,” said Andy Sim, vice president and managing director, Singapore, Dell Technologies. “Our new enhancements to ProSupport Suite for PCs were designed with security, customisation and automation in mind – to help IT leaders better manage their hybrid workforce from wherever they are, while keeping seamless productivity and cybersecurity front and centre.”

Doubling down with innovations for the industry’s most secure and intelligent commercial PC portfolio with built-in AI (5)

The rapid shift to remote work, increased use of cloud applications and new ways of addressing employee productivity needs have created new threat vectors at the endpoint. Every business is a target regardless of location, industry or size as threats have grown increasingly sophisticated and are sometimes challenging to detect. Recent data suggests 44% of organisations experienced at least one hardware-level or BIOS attack over the past 12 months.(6) In Singapore, 28% of employees reported using personal productivity equipment and tools for remote work, which poses increased cybersecurity risks to corporate networks.(7) For an endpoint security strategy to be effective, it must take the entire attack surface into consideration, including supply chain hardware and firmware.

Dell Trusted Devices security portfolio helps protect Dell commercial PCs throughout the supply chain and device lifecycle. This comprehensive suite of above- and below- the operating system (OS) security solutions leverage intelligence and help empower businesses to prevent, detect and respond to threats with improved mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) and mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) of issues.

Dell Technologies builds upon its leadership position with new security capabilities that include:

  • Intel Management Engine (ME) Verification verifies critical system firmware and detects tampering. The initial release of Intel ME Verification targets boot processes critical to system security and provides additional layers of below the OS security.
  • Dell Trusted Device Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Integration brings customers full visibility of critical below the OS security events through select SIEM dashboards.(8) It allows for a comprehensive analysis of the organisation’s security status while enabling them to extract more value out of existing security investments.

Availability

  • New ProSupport Suite for PCs capabilities will be available to new and existing customers directly and through channel partners globally starting Oct. 19.
  • Intel ME Verification and Dell Trusted Device SIEM Integration are available today on Dell commercial PCs.

The ongoing global pandemic has disrupted and changed the way we work, live and play. The future of work is upon us with companies now adopting a hybrid workplace policy with employees working between home and office. In Singapore, while work-from-home remains as the default arrangement, companies are allowed to have up to 50% of their employees return to their office as Singapore eases its COVID-19 restrictions.

A new digital workplace of the future is upon us. With flexible work arrangements, the relevance of devices such as portable displays and video conferencing are now more evident than before, we are using and relying more on the service and devices.

Dell UltraSharp Webcam

Leave a comment

Dell recently launched the new Dell UltraSharp Webcam, a beautifully designed external 4K webcam from the ground up as they redefine the webcam experience. This is ideal for professionals and anyone who wants a superb video conferencing experience. The Dell UltraSharp Webcam has nine patent-pending technologies, it’s all about image quality, intelligence and seamless experience.

This global pandemic forever changed the relevance of video conferencing. Our format and style of work and daily living has changed, a new hybrid future of work is upon us. Within a week into global lockdowns, 62 million users downloaded video conferencing apps alone(1).  This is only the beginning; by 2026, the video conferencing market is expected to exceed 50 billion USD in revenue (2). While special moments like baby showers and weddings might eventually shift back to being in-person, remote work has become the norm for many and our reliance on video conferencing is here to stay.

The vision started with benchmarking the image quality of Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras used by professionals and photo enthusiasts. The design and engineering teams then challenged themselves to develop a webcam that delivers DSLR-like quality while being intelligent and easy to use.

World’s best image quality 4K webcam in its class

The Dell UltraSharp Webcam provides the best image quality in its class of 4K webcams(3)  and produces outstanding video quality in any lighting condition. Taking inspiration from DSLR cameras, the Dell UltraSharp Webcam features a large 4K Sony STARVIS™ CMOS sensor and multi-element lens that captures more light, delivering crystal-clear video.

The Digital Overlap HDR capability in the Dell UltraSharp webcam helps preserve true-to-life colours and balanced exposure. The 3D/2D video noise reduction automatically eliminates grainy images, making sure users look good even in low light.

World’s most intelligent 4K webcam in its class with auto-framing, smart security and more

Dell Technologies is developing intelligent products across Dell’s business PCs, with this Dell UltraSharp Webcam packed with intelligent features to adapt to any setup and situation. Users will appreciate the Auto-framing feature that utilises Artificial Intelligence (AI) to keep them in focus and centred in every frame.

Users can also customise their field of view from 65°, 78° and 90°, together with 5x digital zoom to ensure they look their best.

Dell has elevated the entire experience by seamlessly integrating smart security features. The Dell UltraSharp webcam features Windows Hello, allowing users to sign-in quickly and securely using facial recognition. The Dell ExpressSign-in feature has also been embedded to work in concert with Dell PCs – meaning proximity sensors on the webcam detect your presence as you approach and automatically logs you out when you step away, providing that extra level of security without lifting a finger. And finally, a magnetic privacy cover securely snaps on the lens or on the back – protecting the lens when the webcam is not in use and providing a safe place to store while using the webcam.

This Dell UltraSharp Webcam has certification with leading unified communications platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom, the Dell UltraSharp webcam is the perfect tool for seamless collaboration.

World’s most seamless webcam mounting solution in its class

The Dell UltraSharp webcam delivers a sleek design and premium all-aluminium cylindrical body. While most traditional webcams are rectangular, the UltraSharp Webcam’s thoughtful circular form factor and slim monitor mount ensures minimal front-of-screen distractions so users can focus on their presentation – not the equipment.

Paired with a sleek and convenient magnetic mount and tripod adaptor for effortless transitions between monitor and tripod (4) , you’re looking at the world’s most seamless webcam mounting solution in its class (5).  It is perfect for video conferencing whether presenting at an executive town hall, having a one-on-one meeting or live streaming esports on Twitch.

Pricing and Availability

The UltraSharp Webcam (WB7022) is available for purchase at dell.com.sg and at Dell exclusive stores in Funan Mall, NEX and Plaza Singapura.
