Federal Data Corporation Wins Seat Management Task Order From the Peace Corps FAIRFAX, Va., May 8, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Federal Data Corporation (FDC) announced today that it has been awarded the Peace Corps Seat Management task order. This is a five-year, $16.9 million task order under the GSA Seat Management Services contract. The contract will support 885 seats across the United States with an option to perform seat management services for an additional 2,000 seats in the Peace Corps' foreign operations sites (overseas posts). Under this task order, users will receive service and product from FDC and its partners, ENTEX Information Services, Incorporated, Compaq Computer Corporation, and Cisco Systems. This is the fifth task order awarded under the GSA Seat Management Contract and the second awarded to FDC. "Our goal at FDC," said Tom Arnsmeyer, Vice President of FDC's IT Management Services, "is to provide the Peace Corps with a smooth transition to a world class IT computing environment over the next few months. We appreciate the confidence that the Peace Corps has placed in FDC ". FDC will provide and support a Seat Management solution for the Peace Corps that includes a migration from a Macintosh to an Intel-based enterprise. FDC will provide all hardware, software and support services for infrastructure management, help desk, hardware/software maintenance, asset management, enterprise administration, on-line catalogs and training services. In addition, FDC will provide guidance and insight to the Peace Corps on the latest technology and the best use of this technology in the various Peace Corps locations.

"The Peace Corps' requirement adds a new worldwide dimension to seat offerings." "We're anxious to get started," commented Doug Greene, CIO of the Peace Corps, "FDC's Seat Management team is already on site and engaged in planning our transition to seat services.
