Dell Services Can Enhance Value of New Corporate Desktop Systems; Build to Order, Deployment, Recycling Services Ease System Lifetime Management.

MONTE CARLO, Monaco -- Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL)

Dell's enhanced services make the deployment and management of the company's new OptiPlex(TM) GX520 and GX620 desktop computers easy, efficient and cost effective for corporate customers.

In addition to the standard limited warranty(a) that accompanies each system, Dell's Custom Factory Integration (CFI), Deployment Services and Asset Recovery Services (ARS) help increase the lifetime value of the technology purchase.

"Dell's services capabilities help customers assess their Information Technology needs and get their systems up and running quickly and efficiently," said Gary Cotshott, vice president of Dell services. "The consistency and quality of these services help customers be more productive and realize the full value of their Dell relationship."

As systems are being built, Dell's unique build-to-order process enables customized image management to occur in the factory environment. Through Custom Factory Integration (CFI), Dell can load customer-defined images, software, asset information, and integrate hardware components as part of manufacturing. Once set up, Dell can replicate the CFI process one system at a time or thousands at a time. The company has been delivering CFI services to customers for more than 14 years; last year it shipped more than 5.5 million units that took advantage of CFI.

Customers can benefit from having a Dell technician install their new systems. Dell installation services range from simple system set-up to complex deployments that coordinate roll-outs to multiple sites and meet tight customer deadlines.

Dell's Asset Recovery Services (ARS) take the hassle out of retiring old computer equipment. ARS will recycle the system responsibly or when feasible, recondition and offer its market value to the customer if resold. Dell's Asset Recovery Services have helped the company recover 24 million pounds of used product from customers last year. Dell's goal is to grow by 50 percent the amount of product recovered from customers in FY '06.
