Fujitsu has teamed up with salesforce.com to provide consulting services for Salesforce’s cloud applications as well as application development and integration services on salesforce.com’s Force.com platform.
 

Referring to the company as an enterprise cloud computing company rather than SaaS provider, Salesforce senior VP, worldwide alliances, Bobby Napiltonia says Fujitsu’s cloud computing implementation and management services will address the needs of the Salesforce enterprise customers throughout Australia and New Zealand as cloud computing gains momentum.

According to Napiltonia, the relationship with Fujitsu further strengthens the company’s partner ecosystem in Asia Pacific and “helps salesforce.com to deliver customer success across the region."

Napiltonia says the partnership with Fujitsu is designed to enable customers in a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, distribution, and finance, to “dramatically reduce IT costs and increase business competitiveness, which are the key concerns for Australian CIOs in today’s market.”

“In this partnership, Fujitsu will provide application development, systems integration and consulting expertise built to support Saleforce’s market leading CRM cloud applications and Force.com platform.  Together, the companies will address customer requirements with easy to customise, quickly deployable, and cost effective cloud computing solutions.”

Fujitsu’s group executive director for Australia and New Zealand, Dan O’Hara, said “from a local perspective, this is great news for Fujitsu, as it strengthens our relationship with salesforce.com both locally and internationally.”

O’Hara claimed that demand had increased significantly for cloud computing solutions within the Australian market, “with more businesses needing to minimise upfront deployment costs and eliminate the need for customers to maintain their own hardware and software, enabling system resources to be flexibly expanded to meet a business’ needs.”

According to O’Hara, many organisations are attracted to the concept of cloud computing delivery due to its rapid implementation, agility, scalability and other attributes.
