This places us on the right path to improve the way we interact with our customers and with each function. We now have the ability to release new products on-demand to our sales force where previously we deployed quarterly releases. Further, Omnicell has achieved an initial 99 percent order-configuration accuracy and zero percent shipping-errors with the ability to track accurate on-time delivery metrics."

"While ROI was critical, the speed of execution was also a major determining factor... Fujitsu proposed its Macroscope's Rapid Solution as the base methodology for the project, which it adapted and modified for the client's tight deadlines... The physical presence of key Fujitsu project team members... and their availability throughout the engagement helped demonstrate the leadership strength of the Fujitsu team and their ability to execute to tight deadlines with a focused discipline."

Paul Bresnahan, Industry Vice President, Manufacturing at Fujitsu America
"Fujitsu is pleased to be recognized in the 2010 Supply & Demand Chain Executive 100, which comes on the heels of record-setting growth in the manufacturing sector. Mid-market organizations that shed resources during the market downturn are looking to rebuild using partners like Fujitsu as a way to gain more agility and reduce time to value. This is not "good old fashioned outsourcing," but rather a new model based on a clear value statement and a structure that turns the partner into an extension of the IT organization. We are excited to be taking this model directly to the mid-market."
