Technology & Innovation 15/10/2026 00:07 Lenovo earns multiple Leader positions and Rising Star designation in 2026 Future of Work evaluations by Information Services Group. * ISG evaluations across the U.S., U.K. and Germany recognize Lenovo Digital Workplace Solutions for combining AI, devices and lifecycle services to transform how enterprises support employees and manage workplace technology * Research highlights how the Lenovo xIQ Digital Workplace Platform uses insights from hundreds of millions of devices to personalize employee experiences and shift IT support from reaction to prevention * ISG cites 20% total cost of ownership savings in one global customer engagement where Lenovo supported 80,000 devices[1] MORRISVILLE, N.C.-BUSINESS WIRE- As AI reshapes the digital workplace, enterprises are under growing pressure to improve employee productivity while reducing the complexity of IT operations and controlling costs. Independent research by Information Services Group (ISG) shows that organizations are addressing these demands with Lenovo Digital Workplace Solutions (DWS), applying one integrated approach to transform how IT teams manage everything from devices and lifecycle services to enabling more automated, AI-powered support experiences. With DWS, organizations around the world are moving beyond fragmented, reactive support models, helping prevent or resolve issues earlier to reduce employee disruption, and simplifying operations that can scale as business needs grow. This approach to delivering measurable outcomes for enterprise customers was recognized by ISG, a leading global technology research and advisory firm, earning Lenovo multiple Leader positions and a Rising Star designation in the 2026 ISG Provider Lens(R) Future of Work Services evaluations. In one customer transformation cited, Lenovo helped a global consumer goods company modernize its estate of more than 80,000 devices around the world. The engagement delivered 20% total cost of ownership savings, demonstrating the business value of integrating device management with workplace services at scale[1]. "AI is transforming the workplace into a more intelligent, connected experience. As organizations prepare for greater human + AI collaboration, they need to reduce disruptions and improve productivity while making workplace technology easier to manage and more proactive," said Rakshit Ghura, Vice President and General Manager, Digital Workplace Solutions, Lenovo. "We're proud to have ISG's recognition that reflects the results Lenovo is helping customers achieve to simplify IT operations, control costs with greater predictability, and deliver better overall workplace experiences for employees at enterprise scale." ISG Provider Lens(R) research evaluates providers based on strategy, innovation, execution, portfolio, customer experience and market competitiveness. 2026 ISG Provider Lens(R) Future of Work Services Recognition * Leader - Digital Workplace Operations & Support Services, Large Account (Germany).

Read the full U.S. Quadrant report here. * Leader - Smart & Sustainable Workplace Services (U.K.) * Rising Star - Digital Workplace Operations & Support Services, Large Account (U.K.). Read the full U.K. Quadrant report here. Across the evaluations, ISG identified strengths that support customer outcomes. For example, customers are reducing employee disruption and support-team demands with the Lenovo xIQ Digital Workplace Platform. With continuous analysis of device telemetry data, user interactions and support histories, customers can detect emerging risks and act in real-time with automated remediation before issues interrupt work. ISG also highlighted Lenovo's use of persona intelligence to help organizations tailor devices, applications and support models based on specific roles and workstyles to keep employees productive. Organizations are also leveraging Lenovo Service Desk for AI-powered, conversational self-service, ticket routing and agent assistance to resolve issues faster and free service desk teams for higher-value activities. To simplify workplace modernization and improve cost predictability, customers use TruScale Device as a Service (DaaS) to replace capital-intensive refresh cycles with a subscription-based approach that streamlines device lifecycle management and makes workplace technology easier to scale. According to ISG, "Lenovo was recognized as a Leader in U.S., U.K. and Germany Future of Work Services for its TruScale workplace services, AI-ready endpoint strategy and xIQ Digital Workplace Platform. By combining lifecycle management, analytics-driven operations and ecosystem partnerships, Lenovo is well positioned to deliver scalable, experience-centric workplace outcomes." ISG also recognized Lenovo as a Leader for embedding sustainability into workplace operations rather than treating it as a separate initiative. By connecting procurement and deployment with device use, recovery and reporting, Lenovo helps customers advance workplace technology and sustainability goals together. In addition to its Leader quadrant positions in Digital Workplace Operations & Support Services and Smart & Sustainable Workplace Services, Lenovo was named one of only two Rising Stars in Future of Work Services for large accounts in the U.K., reflecting the company's growing market momentum, innovation and continued investment in digital workplace services.

Lenovo uncovers what happens when entrepreneurs look beyond borders for support. Business Wire Published Oct 14, 2026 New documentary series follows small business founders from around the world as unexpected connections and technology spark fresh ideas, new approaches to business challenges and opportunities for growth MORRISVILLE, N.C. - Today, Lenovo debuts the first episode of its new documentary series from Backing Every Business, its global initiative designed to connect small businesses with the people, technology and support they need to grow and thrive. The series features five businesses participating in Twinning, Lenovo's program that brings small business founders from around the world together, connecting them through mentorship across shared growth goals, access to resources including technology, AI training, funding designed to help address real business challenges and turn new ideas into action. Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The four-part series follows entrepreneurs from Japan, Mexico, the U.K. and the U.S. as they step inside one another's businesses, experience unfamiliar industries and cultures and share the knowledge they have gained from building their own businesses. A meeting between strangers evolves into relationships built around common challenges. This is paired with complementary expertise and the recognition that the answer to a business problem does not always come from within the same industry or local community.

Three businesses, three industries and an unexpected connection The series begins in Japan, where Ryoji of Chinou Robotics meets David of Rhino Roofers and Hailey of VacayIt, two U.S.-based entrepreneurs. Ryoji's work in robotics was propelled by the devastation he witnessed following the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (Great Hanshin Earthquake) and a desire to develop technology that could help people in dangerous situations. David understands risk from another perspective: in roofing, safety can be a matter of life and death, while Hailey built VacayIt around removing a different kind of barrier, making travel safer and more accessible for people with disabilities. * In Episode 1, available October 14, David and Hailey travel from the U.S. to Japan to meet Ryoji and experience Chinou Robotics firsthand. Although the three work across robotics, construction and accessible travel, they discover a common thread: each has built a business around solving problems that affect people's safety, independence and everyday lives. * Their collaboration deepens in Episode 2, available October 15. Ryoji introduces David to Chinou's autonomous robots, sparking new thinking about how technology could help address safety challenges in roofing. David, in turn, brings his own business experience to conversations about Chinou's growth ambitions and Hailey explores how AI-powered tools could help create greater opportunities for people with disabilities in the workforce. "I thought where's the connection between what I do on roofs and robotics and I struggled with it for a couple days and then it finally hit me: it's about safety," said David Villarreal, owner of Rhino Roofers. "Crews go twenty-six stories up in the air; when you've got 60mph winds, it's super dangerous. There's equipment that we use now for welding seams together on a roof, could we make that more autonomous? I talked to [Ryoji] about it and by that next morning, he had it sketched out. This [idea] isn't just cool for the business, but it's saving people's lives." Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. "There is no one-size-fits-all path to growing a small business and support has to reflect that," said Emily Ketchen, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Intelligent Devices Group and International Markets, Lenovo. "What we've seen through Backing Every Business is that technology can be incredibly powerful, but so can the knowledge and experience of another entrepreneur who has faced a similar challenge, brings a completely different perspective or simply understands what it takes to build a business. By bringing smarter technology, human experience and connection together, we want to give entrepreneurs more ways to find the support they need to solve problems, pursue new opportunities and grow their businesses." A shared language, spoken through food The series then turns to another Twinning connection, bringing together food entrepreneurs from Mexico and Northern Ireland whose businesses are rooted in culture, community and a love of food. * In Episode 3, available October 19, Mario and Alexandra of Mi Tierra travel from Mexico to Northern Ireland to meet Geri of Chocolate Manor. Thousands of miles and different cultures separate the entrepreneurs, but their shared passion for food creates an immediate connection. * In Episode 4, available October 21, Geri uses cooking to reconnect Mario and Alexandra with their roots. Mario and Alexandra return the favor by bringing a fresh perspective to Geri's business, exploring how the right technology could help her address an important gap in her booking system and create new opportunities for growth. "When the price of your raw ingredient - the thing you have built your entire business around - goes up by 30% and then another 40% on top of that...I remember thinking, 'I don't know if we're actually going to get through this,' and I did really struggle," said Geri Martin, owner of Chocolate Manor. "I've learned so much from [Mario and Alexandra] and am so excited about my business again." From shared problems to shared progress Together, the experiences of these businesses - Chinou Robotics, Chocolate Manor, Mi Tierra, Rhino Roofers and VacayIt - put the central belief behind Backing Every Business, "a problem shared is a problem halved," into action. Despite differences in industry, culture and geography, entrepreneurs often face similar challenges and having access to the right support, perspectives and shared experience can help them see those challenges differently and find new ways forward. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. For Lenovo, the Twinning program reflects a broader approach to supporting small businesses: combining the company's global reach and technology expertise with something equally important, access to people, perspectives and experiences that entrepreneurs may not otherwise encounter. Despite differences in industry, culture and geography, small businesses often face common challenges. Connecting them across those boundaries can help founders see those challenges differently, while technology can help them put new ideas into practice. Episodes of the Backing Every Business documentary series will debut on October 14, 15, 19 and 21. The complete documentary will be available on October 29.

October 14, 2026 - 15:49 Font size: -A+A Diego Majdalani (Photo: Disclosure) Lenovo has appointed Argentine Diego Majdalani, a career Dell executive, as its new senior vice president and president for Latin America. The executive succeeds Sergio Buniac, who held the position of Lenovo Latin America president for 30 years. Majdalani built his career at Dell, one of Lenovo's main competitors, where he worked for 17 years. At Dell, he held roles such as executive director for South America, excluding Brazil, and director of corporate solutions for Latin America, a region where he also headed the sales division and served as vice president.
