Fujitsu Limited

Tokyo, June 10, 2002 -- Fujitsu Limited today announced that, as of May 31, it has entered into an agreement with Munich-based Softlab GmbH to acquire the company's object repository technology*1. In conjunction with this agreement, Fujitsu established a new subsidiary in Munich, Fujitsu Enabling Software Technology, on June 3.

The object repository technology that Fujitsu has acquired was originally developed by Softlab as the object repository software, called "ENABLER". The software is used by more than 1,000 companies in the US, Europe, Asia, and throughout the world.

This software provides the ability to manage information, which exists in several versions and is linked together to build networks of information, a function essential to the integration of information within or between enterprises. In addition, this software has a wide array of information management capabilities and the scalability to manage millions of objects. By linking dispersed information, in conjunction with applications such as CRM and SCM, the software makes it possible to accelerate the speed of business through the integration of strategic information systems.

Softlab decided to sell the successful Enabler technology to be able to better concentrate on its core business: IT consulting and systems integration. The Fujitsu deal allows Softlab to transfer this technology to a company which is committed to its further development thus protecting the customers' investment.

Going forward, Fujitsu Enabling Software Technology will continue to develop the ENABLER object repository software and expand its range of applications to other business fields. Moreover, taking advantage of the software's strong performance track record, the company will actively participate in and contribute to standardization initiatives.

The object repository technology, with its strong global track record, will be added as a core component to Interstage*2, Fujitsu's collaborative business integration tool, which employs state-of-the-art technologies such as Web services, SOAP, XML, and ebXML. This addition will further promote Interstage's appeal to global markets.
