For the critical middle market, Microsoft and Dell want to make AI adoption less daunting

AI adoption has become a culture shift for enterprises, moving beyond technical implementation to fundamentally reordering how organizations work, compete and grow.

Few partnerships are better positioned to guide that shift than the one between the companies that have long defined the enterprise stack. Specifically, the partnership between Dell Technologies Inc. and Microsoft Corp. spans decades and now sits at the center of that transformation, with Copilot+ PCs built by Dell emerging as a key vehicle for helping commercial customers move from AI experimentation to production, according to Mary Ann Anderson (pictured, right), worldwide marketing director for the Dell partnership at Microsoft.

“The partnership cannot be stronger,” Anderson said. “Really, with the emergence of AI, with the agentic era, Windows is now front and center, and that partnership with Dell and Copilot+ PCs that are built by Dell is really important to the future, especially for our commercial customers. It’s really important to help customers understand how Microsoft and Dell can help them on that journey, because the time to start is now. If you haven’t started, you’re going to feel behind, and Microsoft and Dell and that partnership can really accelerate where your business is going.”
