DELL IMAGEWATCH SERVICE ENHANCES TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT FOR CORPORATE CUSTOMERS Service Provides Key Information on Hardware, Software and Peripheral Changes ROUND ROCK, Texas, Jan. 21, 199 -- Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq: DELL), the world's leading direct computer systems company, today announced ImageWatchSM, a program that provides early notification of technology changes to Dell corporate and institutional customers, available at no charge. "Planning and managing technology changes and the associated costs is one of the biggest challenges facing our large customers," said Joe Marengi, senior vice president and general manager of Dell's Relationship Group. "A program like ImageWatch is made possible by our one-to-one relationship with customers and suppliers and is another example of how the direct model allows us to be responsive to customers' needs." ImageWatch helps information technology professionals manage the rapid pace of technology changes by providing notification six- to-12 months prior to changes impacting Dell hardware, peripherals and software. This is important because changes to these components often impact the custom software set-up, or software image, on the hard drive. ImageWatch is available in the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan to Dell customers on a non-disclosure agreement basis through their Premier PagesSM program. Premier Pages are customized, secure web sites that Dell creates for its corporate and public-sector customers. The information provided by the ImageWatch service applies to Dell Latitude® notebook PCs, Dell OptiPlex® desktops, Dell Precision® WorkStations, Dell PowerEdge® servers and Dell PowerVaultâ„¢ storage products, designed for business and institutional customers. Ranked No. 125 among the Fortune 500® companies and No. 363 in the Fortune Global 500, Dell Computer Corporation is the world's leading direct computer systems company, based on revenues of $16.8 billion for the past four quarters. Dell designs, manufactures and customizes products and services to customer requirements and offers an extensive selection of software and peripherals. Information on Dell and its products can be obtained through its toll-free number 1-800-388-8542 or by accessing the Dell World Wide Web site at www.dell.com. ###
