Your portfolio is like a living entity that expands constantly and encompasses a wide range of products and technical solutions. Do you have a portfolio specifically for our market or is the full Dell portfolio available to Serbian business users?

According to the E-Government Development Index, Serbia has recorded the most progress in Europe when it comes to the provision of electronic services… and it hasn’t stopped there! Are you still working to improve e-government and advance digital transformation?
— The digital transformation of public administration is extremely important and brings many benefits to Serbian citizens, while easing the operations of various spheres. We are considered as being a valued partner by the public sector on its digital journey. We focus on outcomes for customers and constantly develop new solutions in order to satisfy our clients’ complex IT needs.
Serbia is even ahead of some EU countries today when it comes to the number and quality of the electronic services it offers citizens, but it is still working to further advance its e-government and digital transformation and has thus achieved an extremely important result for our country. This is a long-term process that should encompass the development of e-services in as many areas as possible. We are certainly part of such an important process with our technological solutions.
You strive to ensure advanced technology is as accessible as possible in order to contribute to the solving of numerous challenges. Is it now time for more intensive advancements in healthcare, education, the economy etc.?
— Serbia also demonstrated its high level of adaptability and innovation under the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic, when it introduced new e-services to protect citizen health and the economy, such as the electronic scheduling of vaccination appointments, e-applications for state aid and e-applications for artificial insemination, among others.

While we’re on the topic of visions and plans, we mustn’t overlook your Partnership Programme for 2024. What can you tell us about it?
— As in previous years, we attach great importance to our partner companies and ensure high-quality and profitable cooperation by advancing the partnership programme constantly. Our network of partners is our great strength, in terms of both technical specialisation and expertise, but also in terms of the market positioning and sales of our solutions and services.
Considering that we are in the midst of an IT industry golden age, you are rightly making big, ambitious and optimistic plans, both globally and locally. Could you share some of them with us?
— Dell Technologies is a corporation that’s oriented towards technological innovations and we keep pace technological trends in every sense, which at this moment certainly means artificial intelligence (AI), and that will continue in the future.
