Dell Leads PC Sales To U.S. Small and Medium Businesses For Q1 1999; Ranked No. 1 by International Data Corporation ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 1999--Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL), the world's leading direct computer systems company, took a wider lead as the No. 1 computer systems vendor to U.S. small and medium businesses, according to research released by International Data Corporation (IDC).(a) Dell's unit shipments for this segment grew 53 percent year-over-year, nearly five times the industry growth rate. The company's small and medium business market share grew to nearly twice that of its nearest competitor. IDC's U.S. PC Tracker research includes U.S. small and medium businesses with less than 500 employees. "Clearly small and medium businesses are increasingly recognizing the value of Dell's direct one-to-one relationship with customers, strong product lineup and growing array of service and support capabilities," said Paul Bell, senior vice president of Dell's Home and Small Business Group. "We are committed to building on the momentum we have established in this market by continuing to enhance our products and services tailored for small and medium businesses." Dell claimed nearly 20 percent of the market in the small and medium business segment -- U.S. small and medium businesses with less than 500 employees -- in the first quarter of the 1999 calendar year, according to the IDC study. Additionally, ZD InfoBeads recently ranked Dell No. 1 in the small and medium business market, as well as the market-share leader in total PC shipments to U.S. businesses during the first quarter of 1999. Dell understands the technology needs of small businesses, and is an industry leader in major awards for its products, services and reliability. Among the industry-leading products and services Dell offers small business customers are specialized sales and support teams; easy, secure and cost-effective online sales and support; and Premier Pages, personalized Web pages that enable customers to track and review their computer purchases.
