Fujitsu’s Physical, Financial, and Content Management Solutions Roadshow Arrives in Manila
ICT System Integrator expands partnerships with MRO Software, Systems Union Group and Newgen Software Technologies
Manila, March 14, 2006 — Responding to the rising market demand for cost-effective ways to record, manage and report on the physical, financial, and informational assets, Fujitsu Philippines, Inc., a leading ICT system integrator, has assembled a comprehensive asset management solution portfolio that is suitable for medium to large organizations by expanding its partnerships with MRO Software, Systems Union Group PLC and Newgen Software Technologies. Fujitsu and its partners showcased their capabilities on March 14, 2006 at the Dusit Hotel Nikko in Legaspi Village, Makati City, in a road show entitled, “Increasing Your Business Velocity through the Effective Control of Company Assets.”
Ms. Lusyma L. Tayag, Director of Applications Integration Services at WeCare Technology Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Fujitsu Philippines, underlined the benefits of complete visibility and control over various types of assets. She explained, “Many organizations are hard-pressed to keep track of their assets, which may include expensive machinery, tools, and office equipment, as well as financial data and documents, emails and other forms of content. The result is a critical lack of information needed for making important decisions. Our partnership with MRO Software, Systems Union and Newgen has given us the unique ability to provide organizations the means to regain visibility and control over any type of asset. Knowing what your assets are, how much of it you have, where and how they are deployed allows you to make sensible decisions and take maximum advantage of fleeting business opportunities. Visibility and control lead to increased business velocity and give an organization a tremendous competitive advantage.”
Mr. Louis Stoop, Director of Asia Pacific Sales Support at MRO Software in Singapore, emphasized that the Maximo Strategic Asset Management System helps address inefficiencies due to poor coordination and planning, provides the ability to effectively plan work and services based on asset condition, enables better planning for services production and provision, and prevents the loss of knowledge and experience due to retirement of key personnel.
“CFO’s are under great pressure to respond to the new era of corporate accountability,” according to Mr. Patrick Koh, Systems Union’s Channel Manager for South Asia. He stressed that International Financial Reporting Standards, Sarbanes-Oxley and other governance requirements demand greater transparency and visibility of business information. This means that finance and operational data must be made available to the stakeholders of the business in a timely and consistent manner. “SunSystems is a unique combination of financial management, reporting and performance management applications that enable CFO’s to better manage, understand and improve the business and respond quickly to new challenges and requirements,” he said.
In explaining the benefits of Newgen’s content management solution, Mr. Dhiraj Kumar Tyagi, Senior Executive for Software Support at Newgen Software Technologies, started by stating the challenge faced by almost every organization: “There is a lot of strategic and tactical information stored in memos, messages, vouchers, customer dockets, manuals, drawings, inspection charts, invoices, customer application forms, school records, HR files, tax declarations and other documents.” He then added, “Our integrated content management solution combines the ability to capture, index and store this type of information with a scalable workflow product that enables automation of organizational business processes. It eases the creation, deployment, modification, and management of business processes, no matter how complex, with little or no programming effort whatsoever.”
Fujitsu’s road show team will visit selected cities in the Visayas and Mindanao in the coming weeks to generate nationwide interest in its comprehensive line of asset management solutions for medium to large enterprises.
