Fujitsu Caribbean Enters the Burgeoning Data Analytics Market with Rapid Insight’s Data Mining & Predictive Modeling Solution

Kingston, Jamaica, April 11, 2006 —  Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Caribbean, part of the Global Fujitsu Group and Rapid Insight Inc., a leading provider of data mining and predictive modeling software and solutions, today announced the two companies have joined forces. Through this exclusive alliance, for the first time, Fujitsu will be able to provide Caribbean businesses with the vital sales and marketing intelligence necessary to improve and grow.

The partnership will enable Caribbean businesses to have access to the Rapid Insight® Analytics solution in combination with local value-added sales and technical support from Fujitsu. Rapid Insight’s state-of-the-art analytic software enables companies to thoroughly explore, visualize, and understand their data. Rapid Insight® Analytics desktop software allows database marketing, telecommunications, financial services and insurance companies to quickly and easily analyze and predict their customer and prospect behavior. It automates significant portions of the data mining process, finding relationships in data and presenting them graphically.

“According to IDC, the business intelligence software market will experience swift growth in 2006 and we believe this growth will extend to the Caribbean,” said Mike Laracy, President & CEO of Rapid Insight. “Even though this relationship was just finalized, we have already seen tremendous interest from Caribbean based businesses in a variety of industries including banking, government and telecommunications, many of which are seeking to improve their customer retention rates.”

“Using Rapid Insight Analytics, organizations can increase the profitability of their interactions with customers. The patterns uncovered using the solution facilitates better and timelier decisions, enables companies to find new opportunities for growth, choose more effective means to achieve their business goals, streamline business processes and lower their costs,” said Ian Galt, Executive Vice President of Fujitsu Transactions Solutions Caribbean. “In addition, Rapid Insight’s suite of products is simple and user-friendly, which is in keeping with our vision to reduce cost and complexity to our customers. We accomplish this by providing solutions that improve their return on investment (ROI) using solutions that are not too complex to manage or deploy.”
