Digital transformation is a hot topic right now. This is largely due to legacy systems becoming obsolete because of increased critical workload demands. This leaves today’s enterprises with one of two options: keep their outdated technology and simply refresh their maintenance contract or refresh their technology and migrate to a more modern platform.
Indeed, the modern business organization has changed considerably in recent years, and the idea of starting anew with the latest technology and solutions can seem like a daunting task for a company looking to begin their digital transformation journey. Fortunately, Dell Technologies recognizes the opportunity this presents to its solution providers and has put together the Tech Refresh program to help customers stay ahead of the competition, digitally transform, and reinvent digital experiences.
A more meaningful approach
Rather than taking the antiquated approach of identifying an old asset and providing a customer a new quote, Dell encourages its solution providers to first identify the old / aged-out technology and provide a reason why they should consider replacing it – for instance, power savings, or greater efficiency, or increased rack space.
By providing the customer with higher-level talking points, that information can be used to somebody further up the chain to make a decision, as opposed to somebody who’s just a technical contact to the account.
Understanding performance requirements and making appropriate recommendations
Dell Technologies provides the solution provider with the tools and support needed to help solution providers educate their customers on the benefits of incorporating new technology. For instance, there’s the Modern Assessment tool. The intent of this assessment is to quickly compare metrics for a customer’s current environment to what’s possible with a modern data center solution. Things that get considered include power, cooling, rack space / floor space comparisons, and more.
There’s also live optics, which provides data analysis to help customers understand their workload performance. This knowledge can help simplify the conversation between the solution provider and customer so that both sides have a mutual understanding of project requirements.
Also, worth considering is educating the customer on Dell’s future-proof loyalty program, which helps customers optimize the IT lifecycle through a series of guarantees, offers, and assurances.
