AFAIK, despite their unfortunate sharing of the same name, Dell's
syscfg and Intel's syscfg are completely different tools:

Dell's: http://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/dell-opnmang-dplymnt-toolkit-v5.2_reference%20guide_en-us.pdf
Intel's: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/server-products/server-boards/Intel_Syscfg_UserGuide_V1.02.pdf

So, in my humble opinion, you'll need both. And maybe an innovative
naming scheme. :)

Cheers,
