“The needs of the customer are paramount to Fujitsu and they do everything with the customer in mind.”
Mike Woodward - NavyStar Project Manager
NavyStar
The Royal Navy needed an affordable information infrastructure capable of supporting its administrative services onboard vessels. The requirement was for PCs, servers, printers and network equipment from commercial sources that would work in the unique environment aboard ship, be reliable, and meet the standards required for equipment installations on their vessels.
The NavyStar project first started fitting an information systems infrastructure into Royal Navy vessels in 1997 and in 2000 went out to tender again to ensure best value for money inviting submissions from a number of IT suppliers.
Fujitsu won the contract on the basis of a bid that offered best value for money across the range of services required by NavyStar, and in 2001 started supplying and installing branded commercial PCs in ruggedised mounts, as called for in the specification.
