EDS Response to Ford Motor Company Statement

    PLANO, Texas, Feb. 6 -- Tony Affuso, president of
EDS PLM Solutions, today issued the following statement in response to the
statement issued earlier today by Marv Adams, CIO for the Ford Motor Company:
    "We appreciate the Ford Motor Company's continued endorsement of our
ongoing leadership position in their product development efforts and their
response to the grossly distorted reports about Ford's product development
direction.  Ford has not only confirmed, but also expanded, its commitment to
EDS PLM Solutions software as the corporate standard for its digital product
development.  EDS PLM Solutions is an increasingly important strategic
supplier to Ford, with over 50,000 seats of our technology in ongoing usage.
EDS PLM Teamcenter is the information backbone for Ford's global enterprise
and our I-deas NX Series continues to be a strategic product design system for
Ford.  This cements our leadership position in the automotive market, with
over 150,000 seats deployed at the top 20 global OEMs and well over twice that
amount in the global supplier community.  This gives us greater than a
50 percent share of the PLM seats currently in production in the automotive
market."
