Dell Technologies chief predicts landmark year for Irish digital
Summary
Irish business will be transformed over the next year by global evolutions in AI and machine-learning that will turn our PCs into even smarter companions, says Bob Savage, vice-president, EMEA Centres of Excellence and Cork site leader, Dell Technologies. The opening up of 5G in September has given the people in our centre of excellence in Limerick a greater sense of what our customers will need.” 5G promises to transform the data game, bringing transmission speeds up to 20 times faster than current 4G platforms, Mr Savage says. In Ireland, Dell has three campuses — in Cherrywood, Cork, and Limerick — which have become one global hub for sales, services, centres of excellence, solutions development, manufacturing, supply chain operations, engineering, IT, and finance. For instance, Dell Technologies, which employs 6,000+ digital experts in Ireland, in global and regional functions, is seeing that the co-existence of public and private clouds is becoming a clear reality in 2020. Staying ahead of any potential skills gaps is very important for Ireland, as it seeks to attract and retain the world’s leading technology companies.
