- Fujitsu Brings Dynamism and Power of Negotiation to the Electronic Marketplace
Kawasaki, Japan and Sunnyvale, CA, October 6, 2003 – Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. and Fujitsu Laboratories of America, Inc. today announced that they have developed an open protocol to bring automated negotiation to the electronic marketplace. Computers representing two sides of an e-commerce transaction can generate and exchange proposals back and forth until they find a set of terms that is optimal for both sides. Experienced negotiators know that when a negotiation is enlarged to include a richer set of business terms it becomes easier for both sides to extract value from the transaction. By using computers to automate the negotiation process, a very large number of business terms can be used. This allows both sides to extract more value from each transaction than ever before. This will make e-commerce transactions more efficient, and potentially create entirely new markets.
