A brand that has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to direct sales, it is a giant in the IT sector.

Yet another star-spangled success story, that of Dell and its namesake owner is one of those growth stories worthy of a book for managers.

The name is not in fact an acronym or an acronym, but the surname of the person who founded this empire in the 80s.

Birth of an international brand.

Like many American technology brands, Dell's story also begins from scratch . It is in fact 1984, when a very young Michael begins to recondition and sell computers to his classmates. Michael is in fact at that time a student at the University of Texas and its medical school and his idea of ​​"business" is to earn some extra money.

Success is immediate and overwhelming, and a hobby with a bit of a market (in American slang “side business”) becomes a real business. Excellent feedback right from the start pushes nineteen-year-old Michael to drop out of college to devote himself full time to computers. His parents also contribute to his business idea, both as encouragement and as sponsors and financiers of the same. PC's Limited is officially born.

PC's Limited.

The new company was not yet born with the definitive name but with that of PC's Limited. Unlike the name, the business idea was very clear and certain. Michael Dell in fact began his activity focusing mainly on reconditioned computers. Not only those, but also new and proprietary solutions. The first proprietary product was in fact the Turbo PC. The first product completely made by the young Michael was an IBM compatible type system, based on an Intel 8088 CPU and equipped with a hard disk and floppy drive. The success of this first creation was immediate. Not a single success, but replicated with countless machines, both "proprietary" and of the "assembled" type.

It only takes four years to transform a small idea into a solid company. A company that unlike others chooses not to create a sales network and a rigid proposal, but leaves everything in the hands of the customers.

From PC's Limited to Dell.

It was 1988 when the transformation from a solid national company to an empire spanning two oceans took place. In this unforgettable year, PC's Limited became Dell Computer Corporation , opened its first offices in London and went public. Dell was no longer a one-man company, but was led by a board of directors and a CEO. The institutional simplification allowed Michael to have time for the technical aspects, his favorites. Yes, because Dell did not stop at desktop computers, but in a far-sighted way decided to enter the notebook sector. It did so in 1989 with the DELL 316LT. The first laptop of this brand gave a further boost to the company's growth. A huge boost, which led Dell Computer Corporation to enter the Fortune 500, the list of the 500 best American companies, just 8 years after its creation.

Dell Computer and Internet

The direct sales strategy is enriched with a new fundamental tool in 1996. It is in this year that the Dell.com website is launched . The possibility for the user to personalize his new computer becomes maximum, for a further growth of the business. An enormous increase in terms of numbers, which leads to exceeding the milestone of 10 million units sold in 1997. Volume that leads Dell to overtake Compaq and become the first PC manufacturer in the world in 1999. The overtaking will not last long and will be beaten only by the merger of HP and Compaq that will bring, even if only for a short time, Dell to second position. It will be enough for a few years, and it will return to first position , thanks also to strategic mergers in sectors related to the main one of the company.

Dell Computer Acquisitions

After the explosive growth phase around 2000, the numbers begin to decline and contract . There are two causes: the slowdown in the demand for PCs due to market saturation and the appearance of new technological solutions (tablets and smartphones) that make owning a computer less essential. In addition to these, the competition is also increasing, with Chinese manufacturers (Lenovo, Acer and Asus, but not only) growing at a dizzying rate.

Faced with a slowdown in its core sector, Dell decides to proceed with strategic acquisitions to expand the market. It therefore acquires:

• Alienware. Gaming PC manufacturer in 2006;

• EqualLogic. Company active in the storage market in 2009;

• Perot Systems. Technology services company;

• KACE Networks. Systems Management Solutions;

• Boomi. Cloud Leader;

• Compellent. Another strong company in the storage market;

• Force 10 Networks. Company specialized in the network management sector;

• AppAssure Software. Backup Solutions;

• SonicWall. Data Management Security.

These are just some of the acquisitions made by Dell. Acquisitions that demonstrate the brand's transformation from a simple PC manufacturer, including consumer products, to a global brand. A brand that therefore also dedicates its attention to companies, providing global IT solutions.

The integration between the brand's hardware and IT solutions allows it to offer a complete series of products and proposals to private individuals and companies.

Dell Products

From historical items to those derived from the latest acquisitions, Dell's proposal is now complete and very varied. In terms of hardware, Dell's proposal is composed of the following categories:

Dell Servers

The change of direction after the 2000s has led Dell to excel in this category too. The brand's IT skills, combined with twenty years of experience as assemblers, has in fact made the arrival in the server sector a "standard" step for Dell.

To a hardware perfect for the purpose, the brand has added all the skills "purchased" together with the companies acquired over the last twenty years. This mix makes Dell's proposal unique and complete, which covers every type and characteristic of server required by the market.
