Abstract: Increasing security vulnerabilities, Windows 11 upgrades, and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence are all affecting end-user device strategy at the same time, making it more challenging than ever to keep up with the pace of change. Often, the role of hardware as a solution to these problems is overlooked, and modernizing old PC and laptop hardware can help overcome these challenges while laying a secure, highperforming foundation upon which to build a modern end-user device strategy. Due to its advanced hardware and services portfolio, Dell is especially well positioned to help simplify IT while modernizing the workplace.
