Details of the Dell Managed Desktop Service.
Many studies have proven that the total cost of a desktop runs into many times the actual purchase of the hardware and software. The true costs associated with managing and supporting a desktop in addition to the costs of unplanned outages can be alarming. Fortunately, when you purchase a desktop from Dell we can help to relieve the associated support burden by providing a comprehensive desktop management service which includes:
- a friendly Help Desk to provide end user advice and resolution of technical issues using the latest remote diagnostic and management tools
- automated patching of your desktops to protect against the latest security threats
- a fully managed desktop Antivirus and Antivirus service to ensure that you are protected against the latest viruses, worms and Spyware programs
- email antispam protection to reduce the overhead of dealing with nuisance and unsolicited emails.
And this all comes for a fixed monthly price to facilitate predictable ICT budgeting, lower the total cost of ownership your desktop purchase and provide peace of mind for your users.
