OREANDA-NEWS. April 20, 2016. Dell Services today announced that it has been positioned as a Leader in overall IoT Services in the recently released NelsonHall Internet of Things “NEAT” evaluation. In the same report, Dell Services was also positioned as a leader in IoT Application Services, Secure IoT Infrastructure Management and New Business Model Development.

The NEAT tool assesses vendors against their ‘ability to deliver immediate benefit’ and their ‘ability to meet client future requirements’. NelsonHall evaluated 11 vendors for this report. The scoring is based on a combination of analyst assessment, principally around measurements of the ability to deliver immediate benefit, and feedback from interviewing of vendor clients, principally in support of measurements of levels of partnership and ability to meet future client requirements.

As a Leader in the NEAT evaluation, Dell Services is recognized by NelsonHall as a vendor that exhibits both a high ability relative to its peers to deliver immediate benefit and a high capability relative to its peers to meet client future requirements.

"As enterprise customers adopt IoT they are challenged with understanding the business use case/ROI, the complex set of IoT products, solutions and enterprise-class concerns such as security and integration." said Raman Sapra, executive director and global head, Digital Business Services, Dell. "With our IoT solutions we provide an end-to-end portfolio of service offerings, leveraging our own IP and partners which helps connect people, systems, and things together to enable real-time insights and deliver business benefits".

Mike Smart, IT Services Analyst with NelsonHall, said “Through the development of its Dell Digital Services business, Dell Services is positioned as an end-to-end IoT provider, offering services ranging from product engineering, application development and maintenance, infrastructure services, and security services through Dell SecureWorks.
