Hillenbrand Industries Names Dell Its Supplier of I/T Systems; Agreement Spans Breadth of Dell Offerings

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2000 9:32:00 AM EST
ROUND ROCK, Texas, Sep 18, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Dell DELL, the world's leading direct computer systems company, has been named the sole provider of computer systems and services for Hillenbrand Industries, a leading manufacturer of products for the health care and funeral industries.

Hillenbrand said Dell's longer product lifecycles and quicker delivery schedules were advantages that the Batesville, Ind., company prefers. Hillenbrand intends to purchase and lease Dell desktops, notebooks, workstations, servers and Dellware services.

"If Dell sells it, then we will buy it from Dell," said Geoff Packwood, Hillenbrand chief information officer. "By sourcing all of our I/T infrastructure from Dell, we simplify our procurement process and take better advantage of volume purchasing power."

áWe are always pleased with the opportunity and responsibility of being a company's exclusive choice for I/T systems," said Cliff Mountain, Dell vice president andgeneral manager of sales for large customer accounts. "We earned Hillenbrand's confidence by establishing a direct relationship and helping them manage their total cost of ownership."
