Dell announces that it has successfully deployed Dell OEM solutions for Agmatel, one of the leading provider of kiosks to the public sector in India. This implementation has helped Agmatel reduce their total cost of ownership by 30 percent along with offering speedy delivery.

Like other authorities, India is rolling out self-service kiosks at many sites, including government agencies, to deliver a faster and more efficient service to citizens. Looking at the growing demand for self-service kiosks, Agmatel also decided to develop its own range of kiosk solutions. For this the company ordered PCs from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in China and Taiwan to power its kiosk terminals but problems started arising when the PCs came unsupported, leaving Agmatel with the substantial cost of servicing hardware warranties in the field. Also, because the PCs were manufactured outside of India, they had to undergo stringent testing by officials before they could enter the country.

Owing to Dell’s unremitting supply of technology to public sector clients for many years, Agmatel decided to switch to Dell OEM Solutions and Intel processors to help solve its challenges. The organization selected Dell OEM OptiPlex 7010 and 9020 PCs with Intel® Core™ i3 dual-core processors to support its kiosk terminals. Also, where kiosks were permanently connected to a network, Agmatel chose Dell Wyse thin clients.

“Agmatel through their deep insight into rapidly changing technology have been a step ahead to understand the needs of customers and offer best of Kiosk solutions. With best of innovative technology available at hand from Dell, Agmatel have revolutionised the concept of information and transaction by producing multifunction kiosks of excellent design with robust construction”, said Vijay Kumar Malhotra, Co-Founder and Director, Agmatel.

“We are proud to partner with Agmatel to help it meet their business requirements. Agmatel has been able to seamlessly implement Dell OEM solutions into its public sector kiosk offerings. In this challenging and competitive domain, it is imperative for Agmatel to have solutions that integrate and function smoothly. We look forward to supporting Agmatel and other embedded customers, helping them achieve their business goals”, says Glen Burrows, General Manager, OEM Solutions, Dell Asia Pacific and Japan.
