-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 1999--Dell Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:DELL.O), the world's leading direct computer systems company, said today it will offer Hewlett Packard's (NYSE:HWP.N) line of printers and scanners to federal government customers through the Government Services Administration's (GSA) Federal Supply Schedule. The leading supplier of computer systems on the GSA schedule, Dell(R) will now offer a wide variety of Hewlett Packard(R) products, including the DeskJet(tm), OfficeJet(tm), LaserJet(tm) and Color LaserJet printer families, ScanJet(tm) scanners, and accompanying accessories and supplies including HP toner cartridges. Federal market customers will benefit from the convenience of purchasing Dell's full portfolio of desktop, portable, server, storage and workstation products and HP printer and scanner products from the GSA Schedule, the preferred purchasing vehicle of the federal government. "Dell is meeting Federal customer requirements for leading-edge products at value prices by combining the efficiencies of both Dell's direct-to-the-customer business model and the GSA schedule," said Ro Parra, senior vice president and general manager, Dell Americas, Public and International. "By offering a full range of Hewlett Packard printers and scanners through the GSA Schedule, Dell is helping improve the experience of federal purchasers, offering an expanded line of products while creating greater efficiency in the procurement process." Today's announcement builds on a 1998 agreement in which Hewlett Packard authorized Dell to sell its entire line of printers and scanners to corporate customers in North America. This agreement, formed as a part of both companies' continuing attention to customer purchasing preferences, now enables Dell to offer Hewlett Packard printers and scanners to large and small business, consumer and public-sector customers. "Dell's leadership in providing computer systems to the federal government, combined with Hewlett Packard's position as the leading supplier of hardcopy products worldwide, offers GSA purchasers a superior value proposition from a single source," said Skip Trahern, Hardcopy District Manager for the Federal Sales Organization at Hewlett Packard. "Our ongoing relationship with Dell has been a solid benefit to both companies and our mutual 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 $18.2 billion for the past four quarters.
