Fujitsu Siemens Computers and T-Systems Conclude
International Cooperation Agreement
MUNICH/FRANKFURT, December 13, 2004 —
T-Systems and Fujitsu Siemens Computers announced today the
signing of a strategic partnership that encompasses a world wide
cooperation, primarily for computer workplaces and server
infrastructure services. The companies are looking to jointly
develop and market new solutions. The agreement extends the
existing international hardware resale cooperation and framework
contracts.
The new cooperation builds on the long-standing collaboration
between T-Systems, Deutsche Telekom's business customer
subsidiary, and Fujitsu in Asia and Fujitsu Siemens Computers in
Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). The partnership has
already proven project results in countries such as Germany,
Hungary, Singapore and South Africa.
In addition to the sales agreement, the companies are taking
this cooperation a step further: T-Systems and Fujitsu Siemens
Computers will establish a Technology Circle to facilitate the
exchange of ideas and experiences. In addition, they will conduct
regular customer satisfaction surveys, using the results to align
their solution and product portfolios even more closely to the
needs of the business customers.
Dave Cullinane, Executive Vice President Sales for Europe,
the Middle East and Africa at Fujitsu Siemens Computers, explains:
"This partnership and agreement with T Systems will help to
further expand our sales strategy on a global level, with
international partners. Together, we will offer global companies
and corporate customers new and financially attractive solutions
worldwide."
Dr. Jürgen Kratz, Senior Executive Vice President of
Strategic Partner Management at T Systems, comments: "For
T-Systems, two aspects of this partnership are significant. On the
one hand, FSC's product portfolio supplements our systems
integration and outsourcing service portfolio, without us being in
direct competition. On the other hand, the two companies complement
each other internationally. Fujitsu Siemens Computers is one of the
most important partners for our internationalization
strategy."
