Excell Data laying off 60

Bellevue's Excell Data is laying off 60 employees, according to a notice filed with the state Employment Security Department.

The layoffs began Feb. 8.

Excell provides technology consulting and technical support to clients such as Microsoft, Boeing and the city of Seattle.

In the early 1990s, Excell grew rapidly along with Microsoft, with which it had a close relationship. The company was sold to Cambridge Technology Partners in 1998 and to Dallas-based CompuCom in 2001

Calls to a CompuCom spokeswoman and Excell's office in Bellevue weren't immediately returned.
