CompuCom Designs and Implements Software Licensing Management

Solution With Wireless Leader Nextel

CompuCom Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq:CMPC), an infrastructure solutions provider, today announced that a deployment and asset management solution it implemented for Nextel Communications, Inc., (Nasdaq:NXTL), saved the wireless communications leader an estimated six million dollars last year.

The savings, resulting from reductions in licensing fees and the reengineering of related fulfillment processes, were based on recommendations made by CompuCom IT consultants.

Early last year, CompuCom software consultants analyzed Nextel's desktop application and operating system software agreements. CompuCom later assumed management for several of Nextel's software licenses, ultimately renegotiating many agreements, establishing co-terminating contract dates and eliminating redundant and unused licenses. These achievements resulted in Nextel extending CompuCom's IT consulting contract, allowing the infrastructure solutions provider to support additional Nextel IT initiatives.

&uot;In less than six months CompuCom has leveraged our economies of scale and re-negotiated several of our software contracts, identifying more than six million dollars of savings throughout our enterprise,&uot; said Nextel Vice President of Supply Chain Management, Steve Taylor. &uot;We have realized the return on investment CompuCom initially proposed, in an expedited timeframe, and established important cost control procedures that will enable us to continue driving costs from our business.&uot;

&uot;Industry leaders such as Nextel expect real results from their IT consulting partners,&uot; said CompuCom Chief Executive Officer, Ed Coleman. &uot;We are very pleased that the people, process and technology CompuCom provides deliver that kind of robust solution,&uot; Coleman added.
