Fujitsu Announces Industry's Most Comprehensive Full-Service Digital Media Solution
New End-to-end Offering Integrates All Facets of the Digital Media Process to Reduce Cost and Enhance Customer Experience; Fujitsu to Demonstrate Digital Media Solution at KioskCom Self Service Expo
Sunnyvale, CA, October 15, 2008 — Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., Fujitsu Components America, Inc. and Fujitsu Transactions Solutions, Inc. today announced the Fujitsu Digital Media solution, the industry’s most comprehensive offering that integrates all components of the digital media process to provide customers with a complete end-to-end solution. The solution will provide customized hardware, Fujitsu developed TELentice software, installation consulting services, optional hosting, and managed services. The Fujitsu solution enables retailers, restaurants and other businesses to cost-effectively deliver digital content, engage their target audience, bolster brand awareness and enhance the overall consumer experience. Fujitsu will display the Digital Media solution at its booth (#219) at the KioskCom Self Service Expo, October 15-16, 2008 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York.
"The innovative collaboration of three Fujitsu companies, along with key strategic partners, has enabled us to bring to market the industry’s most complete digital media solution that will revolutionize the way businesses reach and interact with their target consumers," said Steve Beecher, director of business development, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "Fujitsu now provides the most robust solution available today, offering customers industrialized players and displays, a robust software solution for managing content, hosting services to monitor customers’ assets, and consulting services to design customers’ digital media systems, as well as installation and maintenance services."
The Fujitsu Digital Media solution combines the hardware, software and services required to create, deploy and manage multi-media information campaigns that intelligently deliver video, animation, text, audio and other visuals directly to a variety of electronic media. The new solution allows businesses to extend their message from “couch to cash register,” reaching key customers at multiple decision-making locations throughout the day. This enables retailers, restaurants, entertainment organizations and other consumer-facing companies to build their brands more creatively and cost-effectively by facilitating continuous, targeted impressions on key customer demographics.
"Fujitsu is now a company’s one-stop-shop for its digital media needs," said Howard Witherspoon, chairman and CEO, TELentice Global Inc. "With the managed end-to-end Fujitsu Digital Media Solution, retailers and other businesses will be able to distribute video announcements, advertisements, promotions, news, educational material and other information to employees and customers in-store and through mobile devices."
"The potential of digital media solutions has long been present, but they have not quite taken off yet because retailers and other consumer businesses were forced to patch together systems using hardware, software and other components from a variety of different vendors—a process that was extremely cost-prohibitive and inefficient," said Cathy Boss-Fessel, director of marketing, Fujitsu Transactions Solutions, Inc. "The Fujitsu Digital Media Solution solves these concerns by providing a fully integrated digital content delivery mechanism while offering mission-critical reliability, real-time interactive e-learning and pinpoint digital media synchronization."
As a provider of system components for kiosks, POS and other self-service devices, Fujitsu Components America will showcase in the booth their newest, ultra-fast, 2-inch printer and cutter unit for paper receipt-generating needs. Fujitsu offers 2- and 3-inch ultra high-speed, low-profile thermal printer mechanisms and unit subassemblies for micro, mini and standard kiosk applications requiring low-to-medium receipt or label output volume. Fujitsu printers' integration flexibility, patented cutters, undisputed reliability, and long-life durability ensures a successful, unattended self-service experience.
