Caribbean operations now come under Fujitsu America

Friday, July 03, 2009

As part of Fujitsu Limited's business restructuring in executing its global business strategy to consolidate key business units outside of Japan, Fujitsu's Caribbean operations became wholly owned subsidiaries of Fujitsu America Inc.

Fujitsu America Inc, the new parent company of Fujitsu Caribbean, represents the combined IT strengths of Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc, Fujitsu Consulting Inc and Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation, under a unified corporate structure. As part of this transition, the Caribbean operations have changed their legal names to Fujitsu Caribbean (Country) Limited in its respective locations Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and The Bahamas.

"Our current reporting structure remains and there are no changes to our business management and governance", said Mervyn Eyre, President/CEO of Fujitsu Caribbean. "As part of a larger integrated business, Fujitsu Caribbean will realise economies of scale by leveraging on its parent company's strengths now under one structure through a simplified engagement model with improved accountability and greater access to the complete suite of integrated Fujitsu offerings. This augurs well for regional organisations with global connections or requiring support from Fujitsu beyond the Caribbean and outside of the region. The benefits of a business of this scale include improved responsiveness to client needs, faster time-to-market with integrated value-added solutions, greater market presence, improved operational efficiencies and additional support from Fujitsu's key alliance partners," he further added.

Fujitsu Caribbean's expansion plans include investments in new infrastructure-based capabilities that will enable the company to offer a full-spectrum of IT services as well as focus on new business development in Outsourcing and Managed Services across the Caribbean and Central America. Already, this strategic growth plan is supported by the expansion of facilities in Trinidad and Jamaica through the build-out of Datacenter and Infrastructure Services.
