Fujitsu India and Siemens Enterprise Communicationsjoin hands to provide enterprise communications solutions

Underlining the growing convergence of IT and telecommunications, Fujitsu India and Siemens Enterprise Communications, India are partnering to provide Indian customers with Unified IT & Communications solutions. As a result of the new alliance, the two companies intend to jointly offer IT & Communications solutions leveraging Fujitsu's competence in hardware equipment such as servers and storage devices, and Siemens Enterprise Communications' Unified Communication expertise.

In India, there is a growing demand for unified communications — and companies are finding it increasingly important to be able to rely on open, standards-based architectures to support collaboration between partner organizations, and between customers and suppliers. The two companies predict that software-based unified communication and collaboration solutions that simplify integration into business processes will be in great demand and will add value through intelligent and flexible deployment approaches such as cloud-based and managed services.

As a result, Fujitsu and Siemens Enterprise Communications are forming a partnership to address this growing convergence between Communications and the IT world, providing customers with a one-stop shop for all their IT and communications needs. In today's world of Unified Communication, communications and IT cannot afford to remain as standalone entities. With increased dependence on each other, it is worthwhile to join hands and provide the customer with an end-to-end solution from one source.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Mark Wilson, Senior Vice President, Fujitsu Technology Solutions, said, “In recognition of the increasing convergence between telecommunications and IT, Fujitsu India is partnering with Siemens Enterprise Communications to ensure that our Indian customers can benefit from the best of German-Japanese IT platforms and communication capabilities. Together, we expect to redefine innovations and raise the bar in terms of customer offerings. We are certain that this relationship will broaden our scope, increase market coverage and build our agility and speed of responsiveness to the needs of our customers.”

Mr. Anil Jain, Managing Director, Siemens Enterprise Communications Pvt. Ltd, India & Sales Head, SEN, Asia Pacific said, “Siemens Enterprise Communications is dedicated to delivering efficient & scalable Unified Communications & Voice over IP networks to customers. This leading partnership with Fujitsu India will help broaden the scope of our solution portfolio, increase our reach and offer best-of-breed IT infrastructure and services along with the proven communications solutions offered by Siemens Enterprise Communications.”
