Lucent Selects Compaq's Armada 7380DMT Notebooks; Portable PCs Support Worldwide Communication HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 19, 1998--Many companies looking to provide employees access to information anywhere in the world are looking to technology for help. One such technology company, Lucent Technologies, recently outfitted a number of its employees with Compaq's Armada 7380DMT notebook PCs in an effort to support communication among its sales force, executives and telecommuters. The use of notebook PCs has empowered Lucent's employees with a tool which enables them to 'stay connected' no matter where they're working. By providing its employees with notebooks that enable quick and easy access to important data, the company's sales force and executives are able to pull up the latest customer reports, pricing and product information from virtually any location. "Providing our employees with equipment that allows them to communicate from anywhere in the world is critical to the success of our business, and the Compaq 7380DMT is one of the tools we use to meet employees' work needs whether they are in the office or on the road," said Basant Chawla, Director, Enterprise Physical Architecture, Lucent Technologies. In an effort to ensure its workforce receives reliable, high-performance products, Lucent has developed a list of requirements and rigorous benchmark testing which all technology must pass before it can be purchased. Some of the features of Compaq's Armada 7380DMT that made it one of several designated notebooks for Lucent include its light weight, high-resolution display and outstanding performance during the benchmark testing. "We're pleased that Lucent found the Armada so useful for its mobile workforce," said Bob Fernander, Vice President, PC Products, North America, Compaq Computer Corporation. "We've designed the Armada family of notebook PCs to be as useful on the road as they are in the office, providing virtually the same performance capabilities you might find on a desktop PC, but in a portable package."
