3 INTRODUCING The Global Workspace Alliance USER-FOCUSED SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY S GLOBAL WORKSPACE NEEDS To thrive in today s hyper-competitive business climate, organizations must be many things at once: agile, operationally efficient, innovative and intensely focused on satisfying their customers needs. To top it off, international organizations face an additional challenge: to not only capitalize and leverage the global enterprise, but also to deliver optimized regional service with a clear understanding of local preferences, regulations and culture. In this context, employees play a key role in their company s success, and the workspace that physical or virtual environment where they perform their day-to-day tasks is their main platform for achieving it. This workspace should enable them to operate in a secure manner and without disruption, regardless of their location or device of choice. With this in mind, we have created the Global Workspace Alliance (GWA), bringing together experienced and forward-thinking IT providers with a passion for global business. Our mission is to support global companies, delivering consistent, seamless IT services that empower people to achieve the highest levels of performance by making technology work for them anytime and anywhere. Featuring proactive support and tailored, user focused solutions, our service portfolio contributes to the productivity and satisfaction of our clients employees providing them with customized tools that enable them to deliver the best possible service, both internally to the business and externally to their customers.

4 GWA overview: Four Building Blocks The GWA is a strategic alliance led jointly by CompuCom and Getronics, leaders in End-User Outsourcing Services, and combining the expertise of local and forward-thinking IT service providers to deliver workspace solutions globally as one single entity. The success of these Alliance is based on four building blocks, which lay the basis of who we are, but more importantly, how we work together, orchestrating our services and resources seamlessly for our global customers. 1. Strong Governance Framework The GWA governance is based on a tiered structure led by Getronics and CompuCom and founded on the GWA Participation Charter. This document, signed by each and every partner, standardizes and defines the core principals and obligations for its members, ensuring transparency internally and towards customers. This framework also includes: the set-up of support teams, the agreement on predefined T&Cs, billing and taxation models, required SLAs and contracting process. Interesting fact: most GWA members share a common heritage within Getronics, meaning that for many years we have been working under the same set of processes, methods and tools, demonstrated in our seamless service delivery. 2. A User-focused and Proactive Portfolio The GWA offers an end-to-end portfolio of technology services with a unique focus on enabling the user and enhance productivity. These include proactive onsite and remote support, back-end infrastructure services and digital workplace solutions. All services are delivered globally and are underpinned by the GWA Innovation Delivery Framework. 3. Shared investment & joint IP GWA members will ensure that the services provided respond to the evolving needs of the customer. For this, they have committed to jointly and continuously invest in their global offering, as well as to share the local knowledge, best practices and technologies developed by each partner, to offer customers best-in-class end-user services. 4. Global Service Delivery Model (GSDM) GWA customers will benefit from global support with local flexibility, one single point of contact and contract, one global and standard transition and service delivery model, and one global reporting. The GWA s Global Service Delivery Model ensures partners deliver consistency and innovation to the end-to-end delivery process.

5 What we do User-focused. Global solutions. In order to remain competitive, organizations must not only overcome the challenges of the economy and market demands, but also the speed of technology and, with this, the changing needs of their own employees. According to Gartner: Skills gaps are real and are a significant driver for using external providers: 42% of CIOs lack the necessary skills, 51% have timeliness issues and 70% will drastically restructure their vendor portfolio through 2017, while 70% of their initiatives will fail. * In the meantime, an increasing base of tech-savvy users is demanding a consumer-like experience in the workspace, driving IT teams to become user-centric rather than IT and device-centric. Within this context, the GWA s strong heritage in delivering global Workspace Services combined with the technology, capabilities and best practices of its members places us in the right position to become your partner of choice in your journey toward a digital workspace. We offer a next-generation portfolio designed from a user perspective, underpinned by our Global Service Delivery Model, shared tools, certifications and standards to ensure consistent quality in delivery. *Source: Gartner 2015: Technology Service Providers Must Implement a Bimodal Roadmap or Risk Irrelevance and Decline.
