Simple, smart, success: three steps to boost business productivity and collaboration with Dell peripherals

The modern workplace is focused around one core tenet: efficiency. Both employees and employers alike want to make sure that each workday is packed with productivity. And technology helps: as it advances, so do our expectations of each individual’s output.

While in the past you may have patiently waited for your computer to churn out a task, whether a 3D render or complex calculation, the speed AI brings has shifted the bottleneck away from the technology and back to users.

The remedy to this problem can be broken down into three steps. Keep it simple. Stay smart. Succeed. Fortunately, there is a one-stop shop to solve this problem for the workplace: to use the trusted products from the Dell ecosystem.

Keep it simple

One silent killer of productivity is consistency. This works in two ways: first, it slows workers down as they’re faced with unfamiliar office equipment; second, it adds to the burden of IT workers who need to support a diverse range of peripherals. As a workplace grows, this problem only escalates.

Here are two quick examples. As an employee, you’ve become used to the time-saving shortcuts found on your mouse and keyboard. But you shift locations – maybe to a different branch office – and it’s different. Suddenly you’re working more slowly.

Or consider a graphic designer who’s a hybrid worker. After a week of slaving over a project at home, they come into the office only to find that their work looks different. The colours are off. The energetic vibe they created at home now looks dull and passive. This inconsistency is one of the greatest challenges when it comes to collaborative and hybrid working, and one reason why picking a consistent ecosystem is so important.

The best way to achieve consistency in this regard is to invest in a set of computers and peripherals you can trust. Choose Dell products and know that your tech isn’t just modern, but scalable too.

The Dell ecosystem is designed with the future in mind, offering support for the latest operating systems to reduce time troubleshooting by up to 20%. All of this makes for a smoother experience while increasing active hours in the workday.Investing in Dell’s peripheral ecosystem comes with one more simplifying boost: its Peripheral Manager. This makes it easier for the IT team to manage, troubleshoot and sync devices across the entire business.

Stay smart

AI is changing the way we work. The question is, can your current technology keep up? Making sure your technology has what it takes to handle the latest innovations in Generative AI is key to establishing long-term success.

To increase efficiency, Dell offers keyboards with “collaboration keys”, which make it easy to mute, unmute or even switch to important windows with a single keypress.

Dell has also thought of hybrid workers when designing its keyboards and mice. Its peripherals come lightweight and travel ready, with an extended battery life for your work on-the-go. All of this, of course, comes at the benefit of being centrally managed through the Dell Peripheral Manager.

Dell also provides an AI-powered set of audio and video enhancements, built to support and transform your online meetings and presentations through auto-framing and noise cancellation. According to Dell’s research, these changes can reduce time spent per week in meetings by up to 3 hours. 

As far as staying smart goes, it would be remiss not to mention the sleek designs of Dell’s latest peripherals. Yet another benefit of a single supplier for your peripherals means that you can rely on the consistent and professional design language that the Dell ecosystem has to offer.

Succeed

One thing will never change for businesses: success stems from collaboration. From employees making the most out of the tools at hand. From focusing on the task at hand. 

Changing to Dell can also save you money. While changing any ecosystem can be a challenge, one key benefit Dell offers is long-term savings. Thanks to its keyboards and mice alone, the typical lifespan of any peripheral is extended from 2½ to 4 years, offering savings over $200,000

Between the ease offered through a single peripheral supplier, the enhancements available for audio and video, and the increase in active time, Dell isn’t just offering a new set of peripherals but an improved way of working. Employees can trust that they won’t be held back by their technology.

With 68% of organisations already reporting increased productivity from the switch to Dell, you only need take one step to boost productivity: switch to Dell’s peripheral ecosystem.
