In January 1998, Fujitsu and Cisco Systems concluded a global agreement covering systems integration. This commits the Fujitsu Group to provide sales and support for Cisco products in Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania, alongside its own networking solutions. The two companies are also cooperating to provide optimum end-to-end solutions, focusing on the rapidly expanding global market for network computing. As part of the agreement, Fujitsu and Cisco also decided to cooperate to achieve interoperability between both companies' network management software. Future areas of collaboration are also expected.
