Fujitsu Launches Financial Solutions in Asia-Pacific

Collaborations with i-flex solutions and Fincentric enhance software portfolio


Tokyo, August 13, 2001--- Fujitsu Limited today announced that it would launch a broad range of new financial solutions offerings overseas in the Asia-Pacific region. Fujitsu, Japan's top provider of comprehensive IT hardware, software and services solutions for the financial services industry and a leading supplier of ATMs in the worldwide market, plans to expand its offerings and strengthen its presence in the financial solutions business overseas, initially in Asia Pacific but extending to other overseas markets in the near future.

In conjunction with this effort, Fujitsu has enhanced its solutions lineup by teaming up with two leading financial software application vendors, i-flex solution limited and Fincentric. Based on joint marketing and business development arrangements with the two companies, Fujitsu will offer i-flex solution's FLEXCUBE series (*1) total banking system and Fincentric's i-Wealthview (*2) enterprise wealth management system products, both of which have been growing in popularity among financial services customers globally in recent years. In addition to best-of-breed software, Fujitsu's financial solutions combine the strengths of its proven financial systems integration know-how, leading-edge hardware platform products, such as its PRIMEPOWER (SPARC Solaris-based) and PRIMERGY (Intel architecture) servers, advanced INTERSTAGE middleware platform, and web-enabled Series 8000 ATM products.

"The financial services industry faces fierce competition and tremendous pressure in trying to keep pace with rapid changes in the business environment," said Hiroya Madarame, Fujitsu's senior vice president and group president of its Systems Engineering Group. "Customers require highly-reliable, leading-edge systems that can be deployed quickly, offer superior cost performance and provide flexibility and scalability to meet constantly evolving business requirements. Drawing on our unique combination of financial systems expertise, high-reliability and high-performance products, and global services network, we are confident that we can provide solutions that satisfy the needs of financial services customers in Asia Pacific and other regions, now and in the future."
