FOREWORD We’re living in an age of wonder—wonder at the infinite possibilities the digital future holds and wonder at how feats we once thought impossible are unfolding before our eyes in the data era. With tens of billions of connected devices and the speed that 5G promises, data continues to grow at a wondrous pace. At Dell Technologies, we’re already seeing how, by applying the power of artificial intelligence, all that data can turn into invaluable insights that transform business, grow industries, and fuel human progress. When I talk to our customers, I’m in awe of the real transformation I see them working toward every single day—from personalized care to healthier populations, faster race cars to cars that drive themselves, better customer experiences to entirely new revenue streams. Of course, with data and the powerful technologies that make sense of it also comes important questions and great responsibility. After all, behind the 1s and 0s are human beings. Here, too, we’re seeing transformation. New technologies are augmenting our ability to protect data, and new roles are being created to treat its use with care. When I think about the digital future, I’m filled with optimism that, together, we can thoughtfully harness technology and data to create new wonders. In the following pages, you’ll discover stories of those who are creating some of these wonders today, reimagining business, and shaping a digital future in which data turns into wisdom at scale.
