Growth And Change

Dell Technologies intends to ride the recent launch of new products and consumption models through the coming year, checking off a list of specific goals. CFO Tom Sweet laid out those goals during a conference call to discuss the company's first-quarter earnings, saying Dell Technologies intends to make the most of its position as the largest privately held firm in the IT industry.

As a starting point, Dell Technologies' first-quarter earnings show the company and its broad portfolio of products and services is "uniquely positioned" to be the dominant vendor in a rapidly changing IT market, Sweet said. The company is seeing strong demand growth for all-flash technology, its Virtustream cloud service, servers, as well as high-end PCs and workstations, Sweet said.
