ePlus Selected by Eastman Kodak Company for Managed Services and Staffing Solutions

HERNDON, Va., Nov. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ePlus inc. (NasdaqLUS) today announced that its subsidiary, ePlus Technology, inc., has been selected by Kodak for a 36-month Managed Services and Staffing engagement. After many years of using a traditional outsourced model, Kodak sought a flexible services solution to better align its current business requirements with a fluctuating workload.

ePlus developed a custom solution for Kodak that includes:

   -- ePlus Managed Services to monitor and manage Kodak's Cisco router/switch 
      and wireless infrastructure 
 
   -- On-site staff to provide service delivery management and engineering 
      support for trouble tickets, move/adds/changes, break/fix, and 
      configurations as well as network architecture engineering design 
 
   -- 24X7 on-site break/fix coverage for 17 sites around the United States and 
      Canada 
 
   -- Cabling for sites in the United States and Canada

Kodak chose ePlus for the services engagement due to its ability to create a flexible, targeted solution that met essential business requirements. In addition, ePlus' services portfolio offers potential for extended support in the future.

"We are quite pleased with the level of service, responsiveness, and collaboration we have received from ePlus," said Bill Abrams, director of Global Operations. "The entire project was executed exceptionally well, including a smooth 60-day cutover to the new network support model. The cost-effective, tailored solution addresses our variable workload and provides end-to-end network management and monitoring capabilities. For the first time, we have detailed visibility into the status and health of our devices and data infrastructure, allowing us to see traffic and outage patterns and be proactive to achieve quicker response times--a huge gain for Kodak."

"I'm proud of how our team demonstrated the highest levels of agility and business focus to adapt our model and concentrate on Kodak's business needs," said Dan Farrell, senior vice president of Services at ePlus. "Our innovative, flexible solution proved to Kodak that ePlus was a true business partner, capable of enhancing Kodak's IT environment. By blending Managed Services with Staffing Solutions, we were able to deliver improved service at a lower cost--and ultimately a true win-win scenario for Kodak."
