ntttttttttttt

Fujitsu has launched sales in Japan of three new and five upgraded software packages, all designed to transform work styles by leveraging data from smart devices, such as smartphones and tablets. The software is also scheduled to be released outside Japan.

In addition to a development and execution platform for building information systems that take advantage of smart devices, the new software packages include security management, tools for quickly collecting data in the field, an open-interface database, and rapid analysis and forecasting using big data.

These packages will enable quicker and more convenient use of smart devices in the field. Thanks to information systems that can respond flexibly to data from the field in real time, these packages will not only help accelerate the pace of business execution, they will also open the way to business innovations, such as the creation of new business processes and new services.

All of the software packages being introduced today are equipped with the ability to assess their software and hardware environments. They also feature proprietary “Smart Software Technology” from Fujitsu for optimized use with greater ease and confidence. The packages can be used with the Fujitsu FGCP/S5 public cloud service, NIFTY Cloud, or Amazon Web Services.

The software packages being introduced today are to be exhibited at Fujitsu Forum 2013, running May 16–17 at the Tokyo International Forum in Chiyoda-ku.

As smart devices continue to evolve, they are being used in more work settings, including sales, retail, and inspection work. At the same time, the variety of data and methods for entering data are becoming ever more diverse. There is a demand to use data in real time, such as collecting data generated in the field, analyzing the collected data using information systems, and providing feedback to the field.
