The total, world-wide roll out will be complete in 2011.According to an article in CIO, Boeing spent "a year and a half researching different vendors. "
Boeing settled on Dell for infrastructure, Lexmark for equipment and has reduced total imaging spend from $150 to $110 million annually.
From Channel Web, back in April of 2006:
The Round Rock, Texas-based computer maker, which signed a five-year managed services deal with Boeing in 2003, said it will now add print managed services to what it does for the company.
Plans call for Dell to provide installation, repair and asset optimization for Boeing, as well as print supplies. In unveiling the deal, Dell said Lexmark would be “a key partner to Dell in delivering the printer management solution to Boeing sites."
And from another article at Red Orbit, October 2003:
In addition to the managed services contract, Boeing uses Dell enterprise hardware including desktops, workstations, notebooks, servers, storage and high performance computing clusters (HPCC).
Seems Dell may have been way ahead of this MPS/MSP thing - interesting.
