Boeing Chooses Dell; Worldwide AgreementIncludes All Boeing Sites June 28, 1999 08:05 AM ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 28, 1999--Dell Computer Corporation DELL announced today that The Boeing Company has selected Dell as its worldwide corporate standard for desktop and notebook personal computers, associated PC peripherals and selected services over the next three years. In addition to Dell OptiPlex(R) desktop PCs and Latitude(R) notebook PCs, Dell will provide Boeing with a suite of services associated with delivery, including asset tagging, custom software image loading through its DellPlus factory integration service, warranty and technical support, and installation services at selected Boeing locations -- all on a global basis. The three-year agreement also allows Boeing to evaluate and incorporate additional Dell products and services on an ongoing basis. Under terms of the relationship, Dell will provide Boeing with an open quantity of personal computers, as required by Boeing, over the next three years. Boeing currently has an installed base of approximately 175,000 personal computers. "The combination of capability, flexibility and cost effectiveness offered by Dell will contribute significantly to the ability of Boeing to lower our total cost of ownership for desktop computing," said Terry Milholland, chief information officer of The Boeing Company. Dell previously was the standard supplier of desktop and notebook computers to Boeing in Puget Sound, Wichita, Philadelphia and international locations. "The direct relationship Dell has with Boeing allows us to customize an enterprise solution for their I/T needs," said Joe Marengi, senior vice president and general manager of Dell's Relationship Group. "Using Dell as a single source for standard desktops, laptops and services allows Boeing to simplify its maintenance program and technology platforms across the company." Dell first worked with Boeing to develop and implement processes to streamline system purchases, ultimately leading to reduced costs and lead-time in delivering systems to users' desktops.
