Fujitsu Scenic

Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Inc. was a Japanese and German IT vendor. The company was founded in 1999 as a 50/50 joint venture between Fujitsu Limited of Japan and Siemens AG of Germany.

On April 1 , 2009 , the company became Fujitsu Technology Solutions as a result of Fujitsu buying out Siemens' share of the company.

The offerings of Fujitsu Siemens Computers extended from handhelds, through desktops, to enterprise-class IT infrastructure solutions and services.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers had a presence in key markets across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (products marketed elsewhere were sold under the Fujitsu brand), with the services division extending coverage up to 170 countries worldwide.

Fujitsu Siemens Computers specialised in "green" computers, making sure the whole range confirms or exceeds requirements for a wide variety of ecological and environmental markings.

History

The origins of the company can be traced back to the merger of the PC-divisions of the Finnish Nokia and the Swedish Ericsson in the mid 1980s when Ericsson PCs were known for their ergonomics and bright colors. In 1991 Nokia Data was sold to the British International Computers Limited (ICL). Later ICL was absorbed by Fujitsu.

The Nokia MikroMikko line of compact desktop computers continued to be produced at the Kilo factories in Espoo, Finland. Components, including motherboards and Ethernet network adapters were manufactured locally, until production was moved to Taiwan. Internationally the MikroMikko line was marketed by Fujitsu as the ErgoPro .

The German half of the company, Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme, was the result of the merger of Nixdorf Computer with Siemens.

In 2003, the company won the Wharton Infosys Business Transformation Award for their use of information technology in an industry-transforming way.

It was announced in November 2008 that Fujitsu would buy out Siemens' stake in the joint venture for approximately EUR450m with effect from 1 April 2009 .
