Dell Technologies & Microsoft : The value of partnerships

Discover how Tomei is partnering with its trusted partners – Dell Technologies and Microsoft – to support the company ’ s digital transformation strategy
When it comes to selecting its partners , Tomei values trustworthiness . “ Our partners must have a strong expertise of knowledge in the domain we are looking for , they must also be responsible and reliable , particularly in terms of product quality and the support they provide ,” says SJ Liong , CTO at Tomei .
Two major technology partners of Tomei are Dell Technologies and Microsoft .
Tomei and Dell Technologies
Having in-depth knowledge of the solutions required by Tomei , Dell has been instrumental in the implementation of its HCI solution . “ They have been most helpful in supporting the whole project initiative .”
Liong continues : “ The level of support they have given us has been outstanding , they have been very responsive to all our needs – particularly during the height of the pandemic , when we began our digital transformation journey .”
Tomei and Microsoft
One of the most significant pieces of technology that Tomei has adopted is the Microsoft Azure stack HCI .
“ This infrastructure provides us with the robustness and flexibility to scale when the need arises . The best thing about this technology is its simplicity due to being a single , unified solution to manage all elements – both legacy and new ,” says Liong .
Other solutions Tomei has adopted from Microsoft include Azure Site Recovery Call ASR . The technology enhances Tomei ’ s ability to provide disaster recovery in the most cost-efficient manner , instead of spending large amounts of money and resources building a new data centre .
From an operations perspective , Tomei has also implemented RPA technology with the help of Microsoft to automate labourintensive processes . “ The outcome has been encouraging ; we have seen a massive reduction in error rates because we no longer rely on humans typing in data , and we have also seen an increase in the speed of execution ,” says Liong .
“ I believe it is the commitment and willingness of these partners to give their very best to the success of our project that truly makes them a great partner ,” Liong concludes .
