Dell™ Offers Gaming, Edutainment And Leisure Software To European1 Customers
Dell EMEA Announces Strategic Partnerships with Two Leading Software Distributors
Bracknell, UK, 01 December 2006 -Dell today announced new strategic partnerships with Gem Distribution & SouthCoast Distributions to provide customers in Europe1 with gaming, edutainment and leisure software titles. The software applications, available as both individual titles and bundled packages, will offer excellent value and further enable Dell to provide a one-stop-shop for the hardware and software needs of consumers.
The software will be available for Dell customers in Europe1 either sold with new Inspiron notebooks, Dimension desktops and XPS systems, or as standalone purchases. These will include the latest titles from leading publishers. The packages will contain a minimum of three software titles at a cost that is significantly less than purchasing the titles individually.
"Direct feedback from our customers tells us that gaming, edutainment and leisure software are a vital part of their home computing experience, be it for game playing, editing photos & videos or home accounting. By working with our strategic partners to provide these titles we can give our customers the latest software they desire at fantastic value," said Neil Martin, Software Product Manager, Dell EMEA.
SouthCoast will provide Dell with the bundled software offerings and Gem Distribution will provide the individually boxed titles. Both companies are specialist distributors of titles within these software segments.
Simon Hallworth, Managing Director, SouthCoast said: "Our strategic partnership with Dell will enable the company to provide exciting new bundles of software to its customers. We are thrilled to be a part of this expansion of Dell's software offering."
Darren Houghton, Sales Director, Gem Distribution added: "We are delighted to be working with Dell to supply its customers with a full range of leading software titles."

The software is available immediately to Dell customers in the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
