Fujitsu Siemens Computers (Holding) BV
Over the past few decades, advances in
the IT sector have transformed communi-
cations and revolutionized our daily lives.
The ability to exchange data and informa-
tion globally – virtually anytime anywhere
– has become fundamental to the way we
work and live.
As Europe’s leading IT vendor with a
global presence, we’re driving innovation
with state-of-the art information technol-
ogy and an extensive product portfolio
for enterprise customers, small to midsize
businesses and home users. True to our
motto “Understanding you better – serv-
ing you best,” we put our customers first,
delivering individually tailored, high-qual-
ity IT products, infrastructure and servic-
es. Our portfolio encompasses everything
from high-performance servers and
enterprise-class storage solutions to PCs,
notebooks, workstations, tablet PCs,
handhelds and digital home entertain-
ment technologies. Our strategic focus is
now on dynamic data centers and mobili-
ty, two key areas for our customers. We
offer best-in-class solutions that enable
users to deploy optimum infrastructures
in both of these strategic business fields.
To further expand our service offerings
and extend our global reach, we acquired
the Product Related Services Division
of Siemens Business Services. This move
enabled us to create our new Services
Division, which began operation on
April 1, 2006. With our roots in Europe,
we’re active in all the continent’s major
markets as well as those of Africa and the
Middle East. Our new Services Division
comprises a global network with opera-
tions in some 170 countries. Customer-
centric innovation and a sense of respon-
sibility – the keys to our future success
and business growth – drive all our activi-
ties.
