CRN's O'Ryan Johnson has been covering Dell Technologies' newly announced reorganization, aimed at capitalizing on the AI opportunity. He fills Wade Tyler Millward in on the details and what it means for partners for CRNtv. To learn more, read O'Ryan's initial story on the news here: https://bit.ly/46EiAVe. Video description: Red text on the white opening screen says, "CRN's O'Ryan Johnson still sees Dell and its partners winning in the AI space even amid restructuring at the vendor." CRN Senior Associate Editor Wade Tyler Millward, who is wearing a gray button-down shirt with a collar, black-and-white checkered tie and black-framed glasses, asks CRN Senior Editor O'Ryan Johnson, who is wearing a light-colored button-down shirt with a collar, about Dell's newly announced reorganization around the AI opportunity and what partners should know. As O'Ryan discusses that opportunity, the video cuts to a frame of Dell Technologies' head of sales, Bill Scannell, talking on camera, and then to a headshot of Dell's John Byrne, who coauthored an internal memo about the reorganization. When O'Ryan refers to the $2.1 trillion opportunity, the video cuts to animation of a gold coin being dropped into a pink piggy bank. The video cuts back to O'Ryan as he concludes before cutting to the white closing screen that says, "See the full video at CRN.com" in red text.
