Are DELL losing the plot?

Some time ago DELL only sold directly to the public/business and there was no channel.

Then DELL introduced the concept of resellers and then they added large retail chains to the list of suppliers.

So what is Dell's long term plan of sales?

Is it their aim to get business regardless?

Do DELL know themselves?

It will be interesting to see whether DELL now look to drop their smaller resellers in favour of the larger ones.

Sometimes actions can come back to haunt you!

Swine Flu

So in the UK, the government now have reduced the predicted numbers expected to catch swine flue but there is still likely to be an expected surge later in the autumn.

I wonder how many businesses have taken the opportunity to review their remote access options for staff.

Surely it is better to be prepared than not?

The predicted number to die in the UK is now 19,000 which is still very concerning as these will be someone's child, wife, husband, partner, brother or sister.

What does surprises me is that UK PLC is not encouraging more remote access to ensure we continue to come out of recession. Swine flue can still impact the economy of the country significantly

With BT 21CN exchanges coming on stream every week and the availability now of up to 24Mbits/sec broadband speeds, remote working is a serious option for businesses to consider.

Remote working whilst possibly reducing the opportunities to catch or spread swine flue also reduces people carbon foot print so even more reason to adopt it.

The good new is the service costs you the same as the old service.

So if you want higher speed business broadband then this may be the service for you.

Not so lon ago 9.6Kbit/s dialup was deemend to be fast.
