DALLAS -- CompuCom Systems, Inc., a leading IT solutions provider, today announced that it has been selected as the recipient of the '2008 Outstanding State and Local Government (SLG) Partner Award' at this year's Microsoft Public Sector LAR Symposium. As a Microsoft Large Account Reseller (LAR) partner for more than a decade, CompuCom has been recognized for its excellence in service and support delivery, Microsoft product knowledge and experience in the SLG sector.

"It was a pleasure to present CompuCom with Microsoft Public Sector's Outstanding SLG LAR Partner Award," said Marjorie Givarz, Microsoft Public Sector Channel Manager at Microsoft. "For more than 10 years, CompuCom has provided outstanding customer service to its state and local government clients. This award validates CompuCom's reputation as a company that understands Microsoft's licensing programs and product offerings, as well as the complexities and changing requirements of the SLG sector," added Givarz.

CompuCom has a dedicated team of software licensing experts focused on helping clients in the SLG sector understand licensing agreements as well as all facets of Microsoft related programs, procurement options and processes. Focused on driving awareness of the benefits for transitioning to Microsoft's Enterprise Agreement (EA) and leveraging existing Software Assurance (SA) advantages, CompuCom's dedication and expertise in supporting California-based SLG clients served as the definitive criteria for this award.

"We are very appreciative of the recent recognition as it serves as validation of our commitment, both to Microsoft as a partner, and the SLG sector," said William Barry, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Sales at CompuCom. "We know the value of time for our SLG clients, and we strive to make their technology acquisitions as effortless and seamless as possible."

"We work hard to deliver not only the best prices for software and technology services to the public sector, but the best service as well. We look forward to continuing to provide the high level service to which our SLG clients have become accustomed," added Barry.
