In the four decades since our founding, Dell Technologies has evolved significantly to become the organization we are today. What started off as a computer company founded in a University of Texas dorm room has become a key leader in the global technology industry through ambitious innovation, a vision for a better world and the largest technology merger in history. See key milestones below.
Richard Egan and Roger Marino - former university roommates - quit their jobs and founded EMC in Newton, Massachusetts, five years before Michael Dell's vision was materialised. As a young student at the University of Texas, Michael Dell founds PC's Limited with $1,000 and a game-changing vision for how technology should be designed, manufactured and sold. He leaves his dorm room at the end of his first year to devote all his time to growing the business. After the company's launch and the building of their first computer system, Dell opens its first international subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Growing at roughly 80 per cent annually, Dell takes the plunge and goes public. The company, now officially renamed Dell Computer Corporation, uses the newly acquired capital to expand its product offerings and global presence, opening a manufacturing centre in Ireland just two years later to better serve customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Dell expands worldwide operations in Europe, Asia, Japan and the Americas driving big ideas across the globe. The company takes sales online in 1996, setting the bar for eCommerce worldwide. Dell rapidly expands its global operations by opening the first Asia-Pacific Customer Centre in Penang, Malaysia. EMC's great global presence is materialised as they are named worldwide open storage market leader. Dell opens a new integrated sales, manufacturing and support centre in Xiamen, China and announce manufacturing sites in Ireland, Brazil and the United States. Eldorado do Sul, Brazil gains a new manufacturing operations centre to better serve our customers in Latin America. It's a year of firsts as Dell becomes the No. 1 computer systems provider worldwide and reaches No. 1 in U.S. Intel-based server shipments. Dell inks an agreement with storage leader EMC to enable more affordable enterprise-class storage area network solutions for customers of all sizes.
In just five years, Dell is China's third-largest provider of computer systems and services, with shipment growth near 60% — or four times that of the industry. EMC opens a new software development centre in Shanghai—the company's first China-based research and development facility. Michael Dell and private equity firm Silver Lake Partners buy back Dell from public shareholders to accelerate its solutions strategy and to focus on the innovations and long-term investments with the most customer value. Customer satisfaction rates reach record highs as customers feel the effects of Dell's singular focus as a private company. The Dell journey and the EMC journey join to reach customers and their great ideas globally and to drive human progress. The newly combined Dell Technologies marks the completion of the biggest tech deal in history.
We’ve achieved a great deal since 1984. Along the way, we learned we’ll stop at nothing to create the technology that powers the world we envision. When we pair that grit with our unique team, no feat is insurmountable. At Dell Technologies, we set ambitious goals that reflect who we are and what we stand for, even when we don’t yet know the path forward. While the world continues changing, we won’t stop innovating to achieve our goals and empower our customers to achieve theirs.
The workplace is evolving. How we work is changing. At Dell Technologies, we believe work is not tied to where you are but what you do.
Technology makes it possible to work from almost anywhere and Dell Technologies’ Connected Workplace program allows eligible team members to do just that, by choosing the work style that best fulfils their needs on the job and in their personal lives.

Now we have a wide variety of flexible work arrangement options for our team members to choose from; from full-time remote to days on campus to job-sharing and more – no matter how or where you get the work done, you will drive great results for the business.
Moving forward, we expect more than 60% of team members will work remotely on any given day on a more permanent basis even after the pandemic, leveraging the great benefits we have realized through a technology-enabled remote workforce.
