Businesses are keen to deploy tablets
Debojyoti Ghosh: Jan 07 2013, 00:27 IST
The $62 billion American computer maker Dell is eying rapid growth in market share for its latest tablets and PCs running on the Windows 8 platform, an operating system it says would change the scenario from a ‘one person show’ and open avenues for other companies to build devices. PCs still contribute to half of Dell’s sales even as the Round Rock, Texas-based company is shifting its focus to software services. In an interview at the company’s annual event in Austin, Sam Burd, vice-president, personal computer product group, Dell, tells Debojyoti Ghosh that the tech major is extremely bullish on Microsoft’s latest operating system and that great products will help it grow even if the market is down or flat. Excerpts:
Recently Dell had a slew of product launches in the tablet family running Windows 8 or Windows RT. Are we seeing a complete shift from Android?
We have a full lineup of Windows 8 products in the tablet and personal computer (PC) space. In the PC space, we have been tremendously successful in selling Windows and we expect that to continue in the future. In the tablet segment, we are very bullish on the opportunity that we have in businesses and consumers with Windows 8. That has been the focus and thrust of our product line. We think our products like Latitude 10 can manage, secure and runs the apps under any existing business environment, and it does better than Android tablet. We are seeing that it can do better
