10. Dell Combats COVID-19 Head On
Dell Technologies tackled the COVID-19 pandemic head-on this year – from Michael Dell taking a pay cut and a company-wide salary freeze to making a whopping $9 billion in financing available to help fund customers’ critical technology needs as soon as possible.
Just one month after COVID-19 forced much of America into lockdown, Dell Technologies launched its new Payment Flexibility Program that included zero-percent interest rates for infrastructure solutions and up to 180-day payment deferrals to help customers and partners cope with the financial uncertainties many organizations were facing.
Dell Financial Services doubled down on helping channel partners financially get through the COVID-19 pandemic in the summer by offerings the “lowest rate ever” on everything from servers and storage to laptops and desktops.
Throughout this year, Dell donated millions to help fight the coronavirus such as providing surgical masks and eye protectors for hospitals, as well as donating technology to front-line organizations who were working on treating and containing the spread of the virus.
Michael Dell himself, through the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, dedicated $100 million in April to initiative and projects related to COVID-19 relief.
