Good morning,Mohan and all: don't know if this have been yet posted: Dell Introduces E-Value to Make It Fast and Easy for Consumers and Small Businesses to Do Business Online; Company Seeks To Improve Customers' Online Shopping Experience ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 1999--Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL), the world's leading direct computer systems company, today announced E-Value(tm), a new online tool to provide consumers and small businesses with a quick and easy way to go from a Dell print advertisement directly to the Internet for the latest price and product information. With E-Value, a customer finds a specific system in a Dell print advertisement or catalog, goes to www.dell.com/evalue and enters the E-Value code which takes them directly to that system. This can save them time and money by taking them directly to the system they want, at the latest price, with just a few clicks instead of having to rebuild the entire system online. "Buying a Dell server online was fast, easy and convenient with E-Value," said Michael Larson, chief executive officer of Profit Solutions Inc., a software developer in Minneapolis. "All I had to do was type in a few numbers and the exact system I wanted popped up on the screen. Dell's online store is much easier to use than its competitors'." As part of Dell's effort to improve the customer experience and do 50 percent of its business online by the end of the year 2000, E-Value helps make shopping on the Internet easier and more accessible for consumers and small businesses. "While other PC manufacturers are trying to replicate our direct model, we continue to refine it and take it to the next level," said Paul Bell, senior vice president and general manager, Dell Home and Small Business Group. "E-Value provides the simplicity and ease that are sought by many consumers and small businesses and is another example of how we continue to make it easy for customers to do business online and buy direct from Dell." Dell has revolutionized the way customers purchase computers by selling built-to-order systems over the telephone and the Internet. Now with E-Value, customers can buy the exact system they want with just a few clicks or custom configure a system from the bottom up if they wish. Dell, a leader in online sales, service and support, does more than $10 million a day in sales over the Internet. "The E-Value tool is a valuable shortcut. After I typed the keycode number I saw in the Dell catalog, the configuration appeared," said Marshall Gilchrist of Charlotte, N.C. "I added a couple extra items and I was done." For more information on Dell's E-Value, consumers and small and medium businesses can go to the Dell Web site at dell.com or call Dell at 800/388-8542. Dell talks to about 60,000 consumers and 20,000 small and medium-sized businesses every week. Dell was ranked No. 1 in total PC market share for the combined small and medium business markets in the third quarter of 1998, according to IDC.(a) Dell defines the small and medium business market as companies with 400 or fewer employees.
