SUNNYVALE, CA, Mar 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Fujitsu America begins operations April 1, 2009, led by President and CEO
Farhat Ali. The new business unit of Fujitsu Limited consolidates the
application services of Fujitsu Consulting, the system platforms of
Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation, and the retailing solutions of
Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. under a unified corporate structure
designed to expand offerings and provide North American clients a single
resource for all their computing technology and IT services needs.
News Highlights
-- The introduction of Fujitsu America creates an agile, local
organization that leverages more than 70 years of
technology innovation -- including 32,000 patents -- and the fourth largest
global IT services firm to deliver to
North American clients true end-to-end IT solutions.
-- The move consolidates the company's IT strengths under one structure.
Clients will benefit from a simplified engagement model with improved
accountability and greater access to the complete suite of integrated
Fujitsu offerings. This also will improve responsiveness to global clients
who look to Fujitsu to support their North American operations.
-- The consolidation -- together with investment in new infrastructure-based
capabilities -- enables Fujitsu America to present full-spectrum IT
offerings and to focus on new-business development in outsourcing and
managed services. In addition, the company will work with clients and
partners in key strategies and developments such as cloud computing, plus
other important new growth sectors that offer clients more choices, better
service and affordable solutions.
-- Fujitsu America will be one of the top IT companies in North America,
strengthening the Fujitsu brand and enhancing market presence.
-- Fujitsu America will realize operational efficiencies with an
organization that is more strategically focused, simpler in structure and
more effective in operation.
-- Fujitsu America is an important element of Fujitsu's global business
strategy of developing its IT services business to meet the increasing
client demands at large- and mid-sized enterprises.
-- Like its parent company, Fujitsu America will continue to maintain a
strong commitment to a sustainable environment; it was the first Silicon
Valley company to install a hydrogen fuel cell, and the company is an
active participant in the
Fujitsu Environmental Protection Program, Climate Savers Computing
Initiative, RoHS, Recycling of Electronic Waste, ENERGY STAR(R), Electronic
Product Environmental Tool Assessment or EPEAT(R); and Green Grid.
