Dell India is focusing on simplification of the business processes (basic areas to improve cost efficiencies) as part of its new rollout plan. It has even tied up with Tally to offer accounting solutions online. For an initial period, customers get a Tally subscription free along with select Dell Vostro systems.

Dell will also introduce a portal titled Dell 360 (with discussion forums) where SMBs can educate themselves on benefits of IT to their businesses.
