BSA | The Software Alliance announced
that Dell Inc. has joined BSA to participate in global anti-piracy programs and help drive
advocacy initiatives on behalf of the software industry.
“Dell has a billion-dollar software business that is growing rapidly, so it’s a natural fit for us
to join BSA,” said John Swainson, President of Dell Software. “BSA is an association that
brings together the world’s leading software companies with tight alignment around shared
interests and concerns. BSA has robust anti-piracy programs and a focused advocacy
agenda to serve effectively as the industry’s leading global advocate. We look forward to
collaborating on a range of issues to open markets and grow the digital economy.”
BSA Senior Vice President for External Affairs Matt Reid said, “As a top-20 global software
company, Dell is an important addition to BSA’s membership. It has a shared interest in the
same issues that other BSA members face, such as protecting intellectual property,
opening global markets and fostering the growth of cloud computing. We look forward to
combining our energy, resources, and voices to promote continued growth for the whole
industry.”
