Today Dell OEM Solutions announced it has entered into a
strategic partnership to provide its OEM technology, development
and deployment expertise to Prentke Romich Company (PRC), a pioneer
in assistive technology and augmentative communication (AAC)
solutions for individuals with speech disabilities. PRC turned to
Dell to help bring its latest tablet-based, assistive technology to
market while managing costs. Under the terms of the partnership,
Dell OEM is using Latitude 10 tablets to power PRC’s Accent™ 1000
solution, and the two companies have plans for future projects
together leveraging more Dell solutions and services to help
improve outcomes and develop personalized solutions for those with
special needs.

For more than 45 years, PRC has enabled children and adults
worldwide with speech disorders to achieve spontaneous,
independent, and interactive communication regardless of their
disability, literacy level, or motor skills. The Accent 1000
features Unity®, a proprietary language system that gives
individuals the ability to go beyond simple commands and
pre-programmed phrases, enabling them to express unique thoughts
and ideas. Recently, PRC sought a partner to help deliver its
powerful language system using the most innovative technology
available in the market and selected Dell after a comprehensive
search of tier one OEM vendors.
PRC was impressed with the Dell Latitude 10 as the platform for
the product because the commercial tablet had a clearly-defined
roadmap with great flexibility for customization. Dell OEM’s global
reach and end-to-end capabilities helped PRC seamlessly migrate its
offering from consumer tablets to enterprise-grade technologies.
The Dell team’s knowledge of PRC’s business facilitated a
consultative approach that led to faster collaboration, and
ultimately decreased the lead time in getting the Accent 1000 to
users.
“We chose the Dell Latitude 10 tablet as the platform for the
Accent 1000 product for a variety of reasons,” explains Dave
Moffatt, President and Chief Executive Officer, Prentke Romich
Company. “This Windows 8 tablet is sleek and durable, with great
battery life, fast start-up, and daylight visibility. It also
provides the flexibility to add content, and allows for remote
updates which are a key benefit to serving our customers.”
“We are proud to be working with Prentke Romich Company in
support of their mission to help people with disabilities achieve
their potential in educational, vocational, and personal pursuits,”
said Joyce Mullen, vice president and general manager OEM Solutions
at Dell. “Our work with Prentke Romich is the latest milestone in
the significant traction we are seeing with our mobility solutions
for the benefit of patients and professionals in the healthcare and
education industries. Dell OEM Solution’s market insight,
flexibility and speed in delivering customizable solutions separate
us from other manufacturers and integrators.”
For more than 15 years, Dell OEM Solutions has helped more than
2,000 global customers in 40 vertical markets accelerate their time
to market with customizable tier one OEM technologies. Demand for
Dell OEM solutions, particularly mobile technologies, has surged in
industries such as healthcare due to growing needs for solutions
that meet standardization, compliance, management and security
requirements.
