DFS Returns More Than $5 Million To Dell Customers For Used Computers

TEXAS, AUSTIN, May. 14 -/E-Wire/-- Dell Financial Services L.P. (DFS) announced today that it has recovered more than 300,000 used computer systems, and returned more than $5 million to Dell's corporate, government and education customers for their old equipment.

The proliferation of computers throughout the workplace in the 90s now forces companies to decide how to dispose those assets when they become obsolete. The Environmental Health Center Division of the National Safety Council predicts that between 2001 and 2007 approximately 500 million personal computers will become obsolete.

As a part of Dell's integrated lifecycle management services for information technology equipment, DFS offers asset recovery services that not only make disposition easier, but often also return money to customers. Since the company began in 1997, DFS' Dell customers have received more than $5 million in recognized value for their old equipment.

"The disposition of surplus equipment can be a complex, time-consuming and expensive problem for many large organizations," said DFS President Michael Watt. "Our experience and dedicated service enables Dell's customers to stay focused on their core business activities while DFS reduces the economic and environmental risks associated with asset recovery programs."

DFS coordinates asset recovery services with other Dell services such as equipment removal, new equipment delivery and data migration to provide a seamless service to Dell customers as they transition to new technology.

Dell Financial Services L.P. is a joint venture between The CIT Group, Inc. and Dell Computer Corporation. The fourth-largest U.S. information technology leasing supplier based on 1999 revenue, DFS has surpassed more than $6 billion in lease originations since its inception in 1997. The company provides an array of services ranging from simple hardware leases to complex technology finance agreements that may include software, extra support, installation, and asset recovery services. Additional information on DFS is available at www.dellfinancialservices.com. Customers who shop the Dell online store at www.dell.com or call 1-800-BUY-DELL, can receive a monthly financing price as well as a purchase price on any Dell computer system.
