Fujitsu Releases GlobalSTORE 4.0 for Retailers and Grocers

Modular POS Platform Adds Enhanced Back-Office Capabilities
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. today released GlobalSTORE 4.0, the latest
version of the company`s modular point-of-sale (POS) software for retailers and
grocers.

The updated platform includes enhanced back-office capabilities that leverage
Microsoft`s Windows Communication Foundation and Windows Presentation Foundation
technologies, allowing retailers to easily add and customize features like
back-office and cash-management functions. In addition, GlobalSTORE`s
back-office interface has been modified for increased user-friendliness.

"As the needs and desires of retailers and grocers continue to change, it`s
equally important that providers like Fujitsu evolve their technology to meet
those demands," said Keith McNamara, senior vice president, software operations,
at Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. "We`ve listened, and GlobalSTORE 4.0 gives
retailers and grocers enhanced back-office capabilities, increased security and
greater flexibility."

Additional features include:

* Enhanced training - The GlobalSTORE Interactive Training System now allows
users to view instructions and interact with the back-office screens at the same
time.
* Fully TouchableBack Office - Using Human Factors Engineering precepts,
GlobalSTORE`s back-office interfaces are fully touchable and don`t require the
use of pointing devices to perform complex administrative actions.
* Foreign Language Translation Tool - Enables retailers to reduce the time and
effort needed to meet multiple language requirements for their operations.
* Robust Reporting Capabilities - GlobalSTORE can now create more than 55
standard reports, as well as customized documents.

The new point-of-sale (POS) software builds on the proven benefits of
GlobalSTORE:

* Simplified Interoperability - GlobalSTORE integrates with virtually any
in-store or back-office hardware or software technology. As part of Fujitsu`s
Pervasive Retailing solutions, the software minimizes the time, cost and risk of
creating real-time interoperability between disparate applications and devices.
* Easy to Customize and Maintain - Built on a service-oriented architecture
(SOA) within the application, GlobalSTORE is easy to customize, maintain and
integrate, which lowers a retailer`s total cost of ownership.
* Global Capabilities - Based on the Microsoft Windows platform, the flexibility
of Fujitsu`s retail-specific, modular architecture has enabled GlobalSTORE to be
deployed at leading retailers in more than 30 countries around the world.
* Enhanced Data Security - GlobalSTORE has been validated by a security assessor
(PSC) to meet the Visa U.S.A. Payment Application Best Practices (PABP), which
means GlobalSTORE conforms to best practices designed to protect sensitive
payment card information from being compromised.
* Extensive Promotion Capabilities - With more than 350 built-in promotion
formats, GlobalSTORE makes it easy to support and execute sophisticated
promotions.
