Device modernization has quietly become a timing decision. As Windows 10 reaches end of support, security risks increase, productivity expectations rise, and AI-capable hardware enters the mix, many organizations are finding that waiting feels safer than acting, even as the costs continue to accumulate.

This peer-driven discussion brings together IT and business leaders to compare how they are navigating device decisions today, where delays have already created friction or exposure, and how they are determining when waiting is no longer the lowest-risk option.

BWG Connect, Insight Enterprises & Dell Technologies invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.

• Many organizations are delaying device modernization because the decision feels complex and disruptive, even as the hidden costs quietly compound.
  • Attendees will compare where waiting has created friction across security, employee experience, and IT operations, including environments still running Windows 10.
• Windows 10 end of support is turning device strategy into a timing decision rather than a technical preference.
  • Peers will discuss how they are weighing migration risk, internal readiness, and budget constraints tied specifically to Windows 11 adoption.
  • The conversation will surface where delaying upgrades limited access to newer security and management capabilities available on modern Dell devices.
• Productivity expectations continue to rise while employee devices struggle to keep pace with how work is actually getting done.
  • Attendees will compare where outdated hardware is slowing workflows in subtle but measurable ways.
  • The group will discuss how leaders are validating real productivity gains versus assumed benefits.
• Endpoint security is becoming harder to manage as hybrid work expands the attack surface and devices age.
  • The discussion will explore how hardware-level security is changing endpoint risk conversations.
  • Peers will share where older devices have limited their ability to respond to new threats.
• Device refresh cycles are now being scrutinized as financial decisions, not routine IT upgrades.
  • Finance and IT leaders will compare how they are building ROI cases that extend beyond specs and benchmarks.
  • The group will discuss cost signals that indicated waiting was no longer the cheaper option.
