OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu UK&I announced that it has extended its UK-wide services partnership with Microsoft, whereby Microsoft staff will work on-site at Fujitsu’s premises to generate the two companies’ first Centre of Excellence (COE). This new business model, between Fujitsu and Microsoft, will enable Fujitsu customers to drive innovation across their businesses by ensuring the adoption of the right technology options for their organisations.

The Centre of Excellence, which has an investment of GBR 4.5m from Fujitsu, will create an environment for both Fujitsu and Microsoft experts to combine their core strengths in delivering complex IT solutions – such as enterprise desktop transformation projects and bespoke enterprise consultation services – to maximum effect and benefit for their customers.

Fujitsu and Microsoft will also work together to engage customers early on in the technology adoption cycle. Fujitsu will leverage its experience in delivering complex desktop transformation solutions and implementing successful end user services projects and combine this with the COE team’s deep expert level of knowledge of Microsoft products and services to help address the challenges that many of their joint customers face with regards to the enterprise-wide implementation of technology solutions. In addition, the companies working together will ensure that both organisations and their customers experience an increase in global delivery capabilities that will in turn ensure that projects are completed in as fast a time as possible.
