Unilever is a multinational corporation that owns 400 consumer brands spanning a wide range of home, personal care, and food products. The outdated client technology and non-standard services inhibited flexibility, limited scalability, and created overhead; the company wanted to completely refresh its IT infrastructure while reducing deployment and maintenance costs. Dell Managed Services helped Unilever roll out nearly 10,000 pre-imaged Dell OptiPlex desktops and Dell Latitude notebook computers with Intel processors running Microsoft Windows XP across over 100 locations; Dell Managed Client Services offered centralized support services to the distributed Unilever workforce.
