About

In 2013 Dell Financial Services (DFS) gained a banking licencse from the Central Bank of Ireland, allowing it to offer services and loans to customers in software and services financing. Dell has recently launched a number of new cloud-based products in addition to its offerings in hardware, and the associated financing schemes for these new developments are offered to customers who wish to defer payment for them. The new product launches have meant a busy period for Catherine May, legal director for DFS, and her team. In order to combat the growing workload and expanding product range, the legal team has embraced the technology that Dell is known for. DFS’ close collaboration with Dell has meant that the team can work to streamline the legal technicalities of the financing process; eliminating many manual, paper-oriented processes and delivering financing products and services online where possible. The DFS legal team has also embraced web solutions for the approving of documents, obtaining information and streamlining reports for customers.
