  BURLINGTON, MA and TOKYO, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Nexaweb Technologies, Inc. today announced that it has signed a strategic
partnership with Fujitsu System Solutions Ltd. (Fsol) to deliver
state-of-the-art enterprise application solutions and system
modernization offerings to the Japanese and Asian-Pacific marketplace.

    More than 65% of an enterprise's capital and operating budget for software
will go to ongoing operations and maintenance of legacy business
applications. Compounding the financial burden of maintaining such
applications is the savings and efficiencies they prevent across the
broader IT organization and lines of business. A common legacy application
often requires internal, locally based IT support resources, dedicated
hardware, and a third-party application delivery solution. What's more,
upgrades can take months, hindering business operations and productivity.
It is the long-tail effect of legacy applications however that is the most
expensive and negatively impacts the business -- the inability to service
new markets to rapidly create customized solutions, the loss of
market-share, and the loss of valuable human capital.

    Together, Fujitsu System Solutions and Nexaweb are delivering technology
solutions that move business applications and portfolios to the Web --
helping to reduce software license and support expenses by more than 50%,
decreasing hardware and local resources dependencies, and eliminating
reliance on application delivery solutions. Fujitsu System Solutions'
partnership with Nexaweb enables the firm to offer Rich Internet
Application solutions to their customers using Nexaweb's enterprise
application modernization and delivery platform, the Nexaweb Enterprise
Web Suite (EWS). The alliance includes extensive cross-training for Fsol
and Nexaweb sales and field engineers as well as joint marketing ventures.

    "Increasingly, our customers are realizing the hard and soft costs legacy
applications are having on their business, their productivity, and their
success," said Suwa Hare, Smart Business Director, Fujitsu System
Solutions. "Our partnership with Nexaweb allows us to address these
concerns with a RIA solution that optimizes business processes, lowers
operational costs, and improves time to market."

    "The demand to reduce costs and increase productivity is bigger than
ever," said Chris Heidelberger, CEO, Nexaweb. "All enterprises realize
the best place to start is at the core of their business -- their
applications. The Web offers the ideal platform, but they need a solution
that delivers the levels of performance, scalability, and security they
and their customers depend on. Our success providing mission-critical
Internet-based applications is proven and our partnership with Fsol
furthers our leadership and solidarity in a market concerned with
strength, independence and longevity."
