Customers now benefit from the company’s enhanced ability to offer the complete spectrum of services for infrastructure and mobility solutions, its core growth segments. The new Services Division will focus on end-to-end platform solutions. Partners will continue to provide high-volume product services, as in the past.
“We are in a very good position at Fujitsu Siemens Computers with our strategy concentrating on Mobility and the Dynamic Data Center. The new Services Division substantially reinforces these core business pillars, enabling us to offer our customers even more added value,” remarked Fujitsu Siemens Computers President & CEO Bernd Bischoff. “We also anticipate positive effects as a result of the customer knowledge and product expertise the new unit brings, and will use this knowledge for product and solution development.
