Notes to editors

Fujitsu Forum Munich 2015 will explore the following topics under the Human Centric Innovation in Action theme:
  • Digital Business
    • Digitalizing Business is anything but simple. Navigating Big Data, the IoT, social media and process orchestration, while leveraging new delivery platforms such as cloud and mobile is highly complex. IT leaders recognize the challenge, but the approach to modernization and transformation requires careful planning and prioritization.
    • o With the right approach, a modernized digital ecosystem can deliver true business value. Fujitsu offers an end-to-end digital modernization approach, integrating the back office with front office customer experience.
  • Hybrid IT
    • As organizations strive to achieve the business benefits of newer technologies, their IT infrastructure is increasingly faced with the central issue of striking a balance between the many conflicting demands being placed on it.
    • Fujitsu seamlessly integrates a cleverly architected Hybrid IT environment with a governance framework that matches the new pace of business, and the flexibility to adapt and evolve with changing business needs. By blending the best of cloud-powered and on-premise IT, the balance that large organizations seek is the balance that Hybrid delivers.
  • Mobilizing the Enterprise
    • Mobile technology is dramatically changing our everyday lives. The proliferation of mobile devices, coupled with faster, cheaper and ubiquitous internet connectivity means it’s never been easier to get online. While businesses may understand the benefits of a mobile workforce, making it happen is difficult.
    • Fujitsu’s workplace solutions enable customers’ employees to be more empowered and work more productively – whenever and wherever they choose and on any device. Fujitsu makes it possible by delivering a mobile computing and communications experience that’s personalized for each and every employee.
  • Business-centric Infrastructure
    • The changing nature of every business dictates changes, enhancements and upgrades to its data center infrastructure. Businesses are finding data center upgrades to be disruptive and costly. In addition they require a constant retraining of data center staff to effectively manage the applications and data availability, security, as well as optimizing energy consumption and maintaining compliance and service level agreements.
    • Fujitsu’s approach to servers, mainframes, storage and integrated systems offers more flexibility to tailor data center technologies to customers’ specific requirements. Fujitsu provides the benefits of secure, robust, future-proofed technologies from a single source. As customers can also benefit from Fujitsu’s unique, consultative approach they get exactly what their organization demands.
