Dell EMC Holds Forum with Theme "Realize Your Digital Future"
Webster, Asia-Pacific General Manager: "Sufficient Synergy Effects After Merger…Will Strengthen Cooperation with Samsung"

Dell EMC held a forum on Thursday the 6th at COEX with the theme "Realize your digital future."

David Webster, General Manager for Asia-Pacific, responded to a journalist's comment that "it appears there have been no special product launches other than the VxRail launch following the Dell and EMC merger" by saying "we are generating sufficient synergy effects after the merger."

He stated that "for executives contemplating how to implement digital transformation and methods to simplify IT, Dell EMC creates synergy effects simply by providing integrated solutions encompassing storage (EMC), servers (Dell), and security (VMware)." He also announced plans to strengthen cooperation with domestic companies such as Samsung and Naver.
