Fujitsu eyes 30pc growth in 2012

Fujitsu (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd is looking to increase by 30 per cent, the contribution in respect of total sales from its network of Select Partners next year.

Its president, Charles Liew said that currently, the Select Partners
contribute a significant 60 per cent in total sales to Fujitsu's Platform
Products.

He said Fujitsu Malaysia, under the Fujitsu Malaysia Select Partner
Programme (FMSPP), has recruited over 25 partners at different partnership

tiers, namely the Fujitsu Partner, Fujitsu Select Partner and Fujitsu Select
Expert Partner.

The FMSPP is also a programme under Fujitsu to help local business
entrepreneurs undertake sales of the company's products, make investments and provide after sales services for customers. They are also provided free training before becoming a partner.

Liew said the company aims to spearhead the programme in the local market
with more vigour and grow the base to a minimum 30 partners, next year.

"The target is for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and big companies to
become partners. "The FMSPP enables them to start accelerating their business with Fujitsu through additional business-building benefits," he added, at the launch of Fujitsu's new executive tablet, the Stylistic Q550, here today.

Meanwhile, he said the company saw end-mobile computing as an important
element in the business environment today. "So, providing an enterprise-level mobile device in the Stylistic Q550, is our way to empower our Select Partners to better fulfill the market's demand for secure, compatible and tailored IT business solutions," he added

The product marketing manager for Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific Private
Limited, Edmund Lim said: "The tablet is a ubiquitous terminal that can be
utilised in all business scenarios, in accommodating advancements in
the enterprise system environment, including rapidly accelerating communications environments and cloud computing."

The Stylistic Q550 is targeted at business usage across industries like
financial services, the government, retail, telcos, manufacturing, education and
healthcare, to perform functions requiring high mobility plus high data
security.

Priced at about RM3770, the tablet also features a full work day battery
runtime and a brilliant anti-glare 10.1 inch screen, that allows for indoor and
outdoor usage. -- Bernama
