Marks & Spencer Selects Fujitsu for In-Store IT Support

London, 19th January 2009 — Marks & Spencer has signed a seven year contract with Fujitsu Services, one of Europe’s leading IT services companies.

Fujitsu will continue to provide in-store IT support for around 600 M&S stores in the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands, through the installation and ongoing service and support of all IT systems. The two companies will also work in partnership to identify mechanisms to drive down costs by taking a holistic view over the medium to long term.

Damone Quigley, head of infrastructure and application services at Marks & Spencer, comments: “Fujitsu has worked with M&S for over 30 years, providing a consistently high quality of service. Over the course of the last few years, we have modernised 70% of our store portfolio and improving the technology has been a large part of this. It is vital that we have a responsive partner who can not only install and support the IT equipment in our stores from multiple vendors, but also identify potential cost savings.”

Liam Foley, account director for Marks & Spencer at Fujitsu Services, comments: “As M&S continues the roll-out of in-store IT systems, it is imperative that the milestones of the installation are achieved and till availability is maintained.”
