Singapore, Oct. 8, 2013 – Dell renewed its commitment to today’s ever-changing workforce with the unveiling of its latest range of end user computing products. Cloud computing, the consumerization of IT, BYOD, Big Data – these pervasive trends have fundamentally changed the way people work. People now work from anywhere, anytime and their technology choices reflect these changing needs. Dell’s new range of products comprises both built-for business ultrabooks and personal, everyday notebooks as well as printers and touch monitors that boast improved connectivity and functionality. These all-encompassing devices are dedicated to helping individuals meet their match, complementing different working habits and lifestyles.
“Asia Pacific is a key market for Dell, and we are fully committed to helping companies in the region drive transformation with our end-to-end solutions and services. We have delivered some amazing innovations to meet the needs of the evolving workforce.

Close to 840 million employees in the Asia Pacific region will be classified as mobile workers by the year 2015, according to research firm IDC’s Worldwide Mob ile Worker Population Forecast 2011-2015 report. Therefore, while the way people work is constantly changing, the need for security, manageability and reliability stays a constant. As a result, Dell has expanded its focus to provide end-to-end solutions and devices targeted at today’s evolving workforce.
