Weyerhaeuser Chooses Dell; Forest Products Company To Sole Source Hardware On Dell ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 2000--Dell (Nasdaq:DELL) today announced that Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE:WY), one of the world's largest integrated forest products companies, has selected Dell as its corporate standard for computer hardware. Dell, selected after a competitive review of several top-tier PC manufacturers, estimates the contract may generate as much as $60 million in revenue over its life. Weyerhaeuser, based in Federal Way, Wash., said it chose Dell in order to standardize on a common operating environment, to reduce its total cost of ownership and to leverage Dell's direct model by ordering through Weyerhaeuser's Premier Dell.com Web site. Dell(tm) OptiPlex(tm) desktop PCs, Latitude(tm) notebook PCs, PowerEdge(tm) servers and PowerVault(tm) storage systems will be deployed throughout Weyerhaeuser operations internationally. "We recognize and respect the fact that anytime a company sole sources their business with one manufacturer they are placing a great deal of trust and faith in you as a company," said Steve Felice, vice president and general manager of Dell's Enterprise segment. "We earn that trust by having the experience in online commerce and the products and services to meet Weyerhaeuser's technology needs." Premier Dell.com is the primary Internet portal into Dell for business and institutional customers, providing a single point of contact throughout the hardware procurement and support process. The sites are customized, password-protected extranets that Dell creates at no cost to these customers. In addition to using Premier Dell.com to buy and track orders, Dell customers can develop product specifications, access purchase history, obtain technical information, offer customized employee purchase programs and access product and account support. Currently, there are more than 50,000 Premier Dell.com sites in 14 languages worldwide.
