Fujitsu positioned as a «Leader» in Desktop and Help Desk Outsourcing

London, 03.10.2011 - Fujitsu today announced it has again been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the «leaders» quadrant of two Magic Quadrant reports: Gartner Magic Quadrant: European Helpdesk Outsourcing(1) and Gartner Magic Quadrant: European Desktop Outsourcing(2). The reports were published in August 2011 and are «evaluations based on completeness of vision and ability to execute».

Gartner defines «leaders» in both market segments as «[those who] are performing skilfully. They have a clear vision of the market's direction and are developing competencies to maintain their leadership position. They shape the market, rather than follow it.»

The reports come in yet another strong year for Fujitsu in these sectors. In April, Fujitsu was awarded a five year contract to manage, support and modernise a suite of energy supplier Centrica's corporate systems used by its Brand Units, including British Gas Residential Energy and British Gas Business. In July, the Police Service of Northern Ireland renewed its highly successful ICT Managed Services contract with Fujitsu for a further three years.

Desktop Outsourcing

Fujitsu maintained its strong foothold in many European countries and grew its desktop outsourcing business in 2010, despite challenging market conditions. This success reflects Fujitsu's investment in industrialising its desktop outsourcing portfolio and the approach to helping clients meet the diversity of business demands using a combination of physical and virtual desktops solutions. Fujitsu's clients praised its high level of commitment to getting the work done, its customer focus and fast reaction to problems.

Help Desk Outsourcing

Fujitsu has grown its revenues and increased the number of supported users in challenging conditions. This is reflected in the strong focus on proactive management and continuous improvement of the service through its Sense and Respond®methodology and the investments in the Service Desk portfolio with standardised solutions underpinned by TRIOLE for Services, its standard global service management tool. Clients praised Fujitsu for its high level of commitment to getting the work done, its customer focus and fast reaction to problems. Clients also appreciated its technical capabilities and availability of service resources.

Helen Lamb, director of Service Desks, Fujitsu UK & Ireland, commented «We believe Fujitsu's placement in the Leaders quadrant of Gartner's report confirms its place at the forefront of the outsourced helpdesk and desktop service market. We feel Gartner's assessment reflects Fujitsu's solid track record in delivering Desktop and Help Desk services across Europe, our vision and strategies for these two key offerings and our continued focus on customer experience.»

Within Europe Fujitsu is currently responsible for the management of more than more than 5 million desktop and mobile devices through its helpdesk and desktop outsourcing offerings. Fujitsu's help desk and desktop management services incorporate «Sense and Respond®» methodology. Sense and Respond is designed to improve the end-user experience whilst addressing key expectations, such as proactivity, automation and call reduction.

Fujitsu currently manages global delivery centres for Service Desk delivery in a number of global locations, including Portugal, Poland, Costa Rica, Malaysia and the Philippines.
