New Payment Option Delivers Increased Business Value
And Flexibility to Software Advisors and Small and Medium-Sized Business Customers

Fremont, CA — March 26, 2003 — SYNNEX Information Technologies, Inc. today announces its participation as an Authorized License Provider in the new Microsoft license payment plan called Open License Value. With Open License Value, customers in the small and medium-sized market will have the option to spread out payments when acquiring Microsoft software. As an Authorized License Provider, SYNNEX will manage licensing transactions and multiyear billing for customers working with the Software Advisors (Value Added Reseller/Value Added Providers) that remain the customer contact point for all services and now receive influencer revenue for the sale.

The Open License Value plan enables customers to standardize their license payments and lower costs, as well as to work with their local Software Advisors on the benefits of Microsoft technology solutions. SYNNEX will work through an established channel of Software Advisors to manage customer billing and financial transactions. With many years of experience in providing this type of service, SYNNEX has the infrastructure and tools in place to assist Software Advisors in the transition to this new model, and has already trained approximately 500 influencers.

“We have been listening to the feedback from our channel partners and working to ensure we offer the programs tailored to meet customer needs. Open License Value is designed to help customers better finance the purchase of licenses and Software Assurance,” said Allison Watson, vice president of worldwide partner sales and marketing at Microsoft Corp. “We are excited about the benefits this provides to Software Advisors, to preserve their existing customer relationships, provide new revenue streams for work with customers, and allow them to concentrate on their core competencies of selling and implementing solutions, which is where they add the greatest value.”

“SYNNEX is well positioned to partner with Microsoft in the launch of Open License Value, considering the combination of our powerful License Online technology platform, our experience in the management of software license transactions and fee payments and our strong customer base of influencers in the SMB market,” stated Mimi Anderson, Vice President of Product Marketing for Software at SYNNEX.
