Fujitsu Positioned as a ‘Leader’ in Desktop and Help Desk Outsourcing.

Latest Magic Quadrants for Europe recognize Fujitsu in key strategic markets

Munich, September 02, 2010

Fujitsu today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “leaders” quadrant of two Magic Quadrant reports: Help Desk Outsourcing, Europe1, and Desktop Outsourcing, Europe2. The reports were published in July 2010 and are “evaluations based on completeness of vision and ability to execute”. Gartner defines ‘leaders’ as “[those who] are performing skillfully. They have a clear vision of the market's direction and are developing competencies to maintain their leadership position. They shape the market, rather than follow it.”

 

Both reports reflect Fujitsu’s European scale and breadth of capability, as well as highlight the importance of standardizing and industrializing the way Fujitsu designs and delivers services.

 

Desktop Outsourcing

Fujitsu has gained a strong foothold in many European countries through the acquisition of the Siemens share of Fujitsu Siemens Computers. Fujitsu places great importance on the industrialization of service offerings, standardizing and vitalizing its solutions and the continued investment in green desktop offerings such as the Zero Client.

 

Help Desk Outsourcing

Fujitsu has grown its revenues in challenging conditions while expanding the share of its business in the private sector. Furthermore, Fujitsu has maintained a strong focus on lean, proactive, and standardized help desk services and exploited its global delivery for remote infrastructure services. Finally, Fujitsu has recognized the need for consolidation and standardization of its help desk services.

 

Richard Christou, Corporate Senior Executive VP & President Global Business Group Fujitsu, commented “We believe Fujitsu’s placement in the leaders quadrant of these Analyst reports confirms Fujitsu is a significant player in outsourced desktop and help desk service. We consider Gartner’s assessment reflective of Fujitsu’s solid track record in delivering Desktop and Help Desk services across Europe and also our vision and strategies for these two key offerings.”

 

Within Europe Fujitsu is currently responsible for the management of more than 6.5 million desktop and mobile devices through its helpdesk and desktop outsourcing offerings. Fujitsu’s help desk and desktop management services incorporate “Sense and Respond®” methodology. Sense and Respond is designed to improve the end-user experience whilst addressing key expectations, such as pro-activity, automation and call reduction.

 

Clients benefiting from these services from Fujitsu include: Allianz, Electrolux, Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, Swedbank and Total. Fujitsu’s current global capabilities include Lisbon, Johannesburg, Tallinn in Estonia, Kuala Lumpur, Lodz in Poland and Costa Rica.
