Nokia Corp. and Fujitsu Ltd. said they will work together to develop and provide end-to-end mobile solutions for enterprises with initial rollouts in the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom.
The rollouts will extend to selected regions of Europe, the Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific early next year, according to the companies.
According to the deal, Nokia will provide its range of business terminals and platforms, while Fujitsu will offer consulting, systems integration and managed services.
“The companies will provide secure, easy-to-use horizontal and customized vertical mobility solutions and services for companies that want to take advantage of mobility to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve business processes,” said both companies.
The offerings, according to the announcement, will focus on three areas and they include streamlining business processes with mobility, enabling mobile access to corporate resources and remote working for mobile workers.
Fujitsu plans to use its existing service center operations to offer customers mobile access to corporate applications as a managed service using Nokia business terminals like the Nokia 6600 imaging phone and other models running on the Symbian operating system.
“With Fujitsu, a world-class integrator and service provider, we can jointly develop and offer corporate mobility solutions, thus enabling productivity gains for enterprises with fast systems integration, implementation and return on investment,” said Erik Anderson, senior vice president, business applications, Nokia Mobile Phones.
