OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu and Microsoft Japan to Equip Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance's 30,000 Advisors with Windows 8 Tablets in One of World's Largest Ever Deployments Providing Services that Win the Hearts of Customers

Fujitsu Limited and Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd. are providing Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Company with approximately 30,000 custom-designed Windows 8 tablets as new original sales terminals for its advisors (sales personnel). This is the largest deployment of Windows 8 tablets in Japan to date, and one of the largest in the world. Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance will start to conduct sales activities using the new tablets in approximately 1,200 locations nationwide from September 2013 onwards.

Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance is thoroughly reviewing its business services based on customer feedback so as to realize greater customer satisfaction, and is making efforts to offer direct to customers easy-to-understand explanations of information that they will find valuable.

Fujitsu and Microsoft Japan are giving their full support to this initiative. In addition to meshing the knowledge and expertise it has accumulated during 20 years of involvement in tablet PC development with the latest technologies for building thinner and lighter devices, Fujitsu has selected Microsoft's Windows 8 Pro enterprise operating system to develop an ideal Windows 8 tablet. In so doing, customer convenience has been improved with an entire range of digitized procedures and customers are provided with beneficial information in an easily understandable format. With this development, Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance will be the first Japanese life insurance company to adopt Windows 8 Pro.

Leveraging the advantages offered by tablets, Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance will use videos and other content to explain its products and enhance communication with its customers. It will also endeavor to focus more resources on even better service and competitiveness by streamlining contract processing and eliminating the need for printed documentation while ensuring tight security.
