CompuCom Systems Positioned in the Leaders Quadrants of Analyst Firm's 2006 Magic Quadrant Reports for North American Help Desk and Desktop Outsourcing Services.

Leading Technology Research Firm Evaluates CompuCom on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

DALLAS -- CompuCom Systems, Inc., a leading IT outsourcing company, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant in both analyst reports, "Magic Quadrant for Desktop Outsourcing Services, North America, 2006" and "Magic Quadrant for Help Desk Outsourcing, North America, 2006." Authored by Richard Matlus and William Maurer, the two reports position external service providers (ESPs) based on their ability to execute and their completeness of vision. CompuCom has delivered industry-leading service quality for two decades.

According to Gartner, Inc., "leaders" are vendors that are performing well today, have a clear vision of market direction and are actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market. The Gartner reports illustrate that both the help desk outsourcing and desktop outsourcing services markets are mature and service providers continue to focus on processes, automated tools and geographic locations to reduce costs.

Providing a broad range of IT infrastructure management services, application services, systems integration and consulting services, as well as the procurement and management of hardware and software, CompuCom's integrated delivery model enables increased productivity, reduces costs and provides a superior level of end-user satisfaction that help CIOs address business challenges continuously.

With 20 years of IT outsourcing experience, CompuCom experts deliver seamless integrated solutions to meet a client's most challenging business needs. As a vendor-independent, single-source services provider, many companies such as E. & J. Gallo Winery, City of Dallas, LifeGift, Monsanto, Sunoco, Hamilton Health Systems and Continental Airlines have come to rely on CompuCom's expertise, innovation and value.

"CompuCom has brought a level of expertise that has enabled us to not only save more lives but also preserve our ability to save lives in times of extreme urgency," said Samuel M. Holtzman III, LifeGift president and chief executive officer. "As a result of working with CompuCom over the past 18 months, we have since outsourced all of our IT activities to CompuCom, including the service desk enterprise monitoring of all critical systems, asset management, procurement and break fix at all four LifeGift locations. On behalf of LifeGift, we salute CompuCom and congratulate them on the success of being recognized by this prestigious industry ranking," added Holtzman.

"As a result of CompuCom's responsiveness, we never missed a beat, which started a solid foundation for our relationship," said Bob Koogler, Director, Enterprise I.T. Infrastructure at Monsanto Company. "We value CompuCom and their knowledge of our operations. On behalf of Monsanto, we would like to congratulate CompuCom on this evaluation," added Koogler.

"We consider our positioning by Gartner in the leaders quadrant as a confirmation of CompuCom's industry-leading service quality which has been delivered for two decades," said John McKenna, Chief Strategy Officer at CompuCom. "As a best kept secret, CompuCom provides clients with the best IT services value in the industry, delivering "tier-one" service quality at a "tier-two" cost to enable clients to gain competitive advantage while enhancing the value of their business. We are most grateful for receiving acknowledgement from Gartner and would like to extend our appreciation to our clients without whom this level of achievement would not be possible," added McKenna.

To qualify for Gartner's desktop outsourcing report, participating companies needed $15 million in help desk service revenue and $45 million in desktop services revenue. Gartner determines the positioning of the service providers within the Magic Quadrant based on formal presentations by participating vendors, six North American client references and analyst knowledge of the market and enterprise wants and needs.
