Dell Technologies supplies technology to organizations worldwide, spanning personal computers, enterprise infrastructure, hardware, software, and services. Founded in 1984 by Michael Dell with $1,000 in start-up capital, the company pioneered the direct-to-customer sales model that reshaped the personal computer industry. It describes its mission as driving human progress through the power of technology, and it is often characterized as the world's largest privately-controlled technology company.
The company employs more than 120,000 people and serves customers in 180 countries, reporting annual revenue of over $100 billion. Its scale is reflected in its operational footprint: it processes more than 2.5 billion customer support interactions each year and holds more than 25,000 patents and pending applications worldwide. A landmark $60 billion merger with EMC in 2016 reshaped its enterprise business.
