Dell is trying to make a new expansion into services a key part of its “Dell 2.0? business transformation effort. Read Ann’s insight into Dell’s SMB services strategy.

When I wrote about Dell’s SMB-oriented product lines in July, I noted that several experts stressed that Dell would also need to beef up its service offerings if it hoped to expand its SMB business.

Another high-profile HP effort is Halo, which just got an award for environmental responsibility. Given the American Airlines announcement indicating a massive reduction in travel capacity, telepresence systems like Halo have never been more timely.
