Dell announced it would
consolidate its Public and Large Enterprise business units into a single
organization, and Paul Bell will serve as president of the combined
Public-Large Enterprise business unit.
Dell also announced Steve Schuckenbrock has been named president of Dell
Services. Schuckenbrock succeeds Peter Altabef, who is leaving Dell after
leading the integration of Perot Systems into Dell. Both Schuckenbrock and Bell
will report to Michael Dell, the company’s chairman and CEO.
The company said the creation of a single Public-Large Enterprise business unit
is designed to enhance Dell’s position as a provider of open, capable and
affordable IT technology solutions and services.
The combined Dell Services business unit represents almost $8 billion in the
company’s annual revenue. With more than 43,000 employees in 90 countries, Dell
Services operates 60 technology-support centers around the world and 36
customer data centers, and provides technical support for 14 million client
systems and 10,000 SAAS (Software-as-a-Service) customers.
"Over the past year, the Services team met or exceeded all of its integration
milestones, achieving more than $100 million in cost savings in fiscal 2011 and
capturing revenue synergies of more than $150 million, both surpassing original
estimates," a company release stated.
