Fujitsu Introduces RetailReady Program for Retail ISVs

SUNNYVALE, CA, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Fujitsu America today announced its RetailReady(TM) program for the
retail industry, providing benefits for independent software vendors
(ISVs) that validate their applications with retail hardware from Fujitsu.

After becoming Fujitsu RetailReady, ISVs can market their solutions as
compatible with Fujitsu retail hardware like the recently announced
TeamPoS(R) 3600 point-of-sale (POS) system. The partnership also exposes
the ISV's brand and solutions to potential Fujitsu clients, and offers
unique, unparalleled access to Fujitsu product marketing and technical
information through a secure partner Web portal. Each RetailReady partner
will also receive a Fujitsu POS unit for customer demonstrations.

"ISVs are very important to the continued success of Fujitsu, and as part
of our larger channel initiatives, we want to introduce programs that
enable ISV growth when partnered with Fujitsu," said Bill Buie, senior
vice president, channel, alliance and partner sales at Fujitsu America.
"Retailers know that these ISVs have successfully qualified their
solutions against Fujitsu compatibility checklists, and will therefore
have more confidence in purchasing a RetailReady solution. This program
will not only broaden the scope of software offerings for our hardware,
but it will help boost our RetailReady partners' sales as well."

Additional RetailReady program benefits for ISVs include:

-- Cost savings - Any pre-qualified RetailReady solution
translates to fewer help desk support calls, resulting in lower costs for
the ISV.

-- Higher customer satisfaction - the program helps ISVs uncover
and resolve potential software problems, leading to higher customer
service.

-- Optimized solution performance - RetailReady partners can
maximize the performance of their offerings for specific Fujitsu hardware
configurations.

-- Increased visibility among retailers - Qualified ISVs will be
marketed to retailers via the Fujitsu America Web site, as well as through
other Fujitsu marketing and publicity programs.

-- Co-marketing opportunities - RetailReady partners can leverage
the Fujitsu brand by using the RetailReady logo on marketing collateral and
other sales materials.

The Fujitsu TeamPoS 3600 family of point-of-sale (POS) units is
designed to give retailers a scalable hardware system that offers an
optimal price-performance fit. The product family can be
custom-configured to meet a retailer's cost and performance needs,
allowing retailers to select from a wide range of Intel(R) processor and
memory options, as well as various input/output modules.

RetailReady Partners
Three ISVs have already joined the Fujitsu
RetailReady program, including:

POS terminals to store systems and head office functions.

"It is encouraging to see a large retail technology vendor like Fujitsu
demonstrate its support for the ISV market," said Carsten Wulff, partner
management director at LS Retail. "The addition of the new 3600 series
gives us a cost-effective and powerful system from which to continue
expanding our partner program as well. LS Retail and the TeamPoS family
