MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Sept. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- Based on its recent analysis of the business workflow
integration platforms market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes
Fujitsu Limited (Fujitsu) with the 2014 Global Frost & Sullivan
Award for Customer Value Leadership. Fujitsu has seized the
opportunities created by the limitations of disparate platforms and
software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for manufacturing and
business needs by developing a reliable and flexible integration
platform as a service (iPaaS). This platform reaches across cloud
platforms, SaaS and on-premise solutions and enables delivery
acceleration, ease of integration, support specialization, and
eliminates maintenance hassles.

To complement and extend its integrated cloud strategy, Fujitsu
acquired RunMyProcess, obtaining an iPaaS solution that helps
provide a structured workflow across entities through an
industrialized cloud platform. Fujitsu's integrating approach
brings a whole new perspective to the manufacturing community by
integrating people, processes, and systems. The rapid deployment of
architecture, technology integration capabilities, wide array of
application expertise, and global presence enables even small- to
medium-sized enterprises to enjoy premium benefits at low
costs.
The Fujitsu RunMyProcess stands out for its simple, easy-to-use,
drag-and-drop process design and for having more than 2,500
connectors to SaaS and other applications. In addition, it sweeps
across the ecosystem through full integration with Google Apps and
enables customers to rapidly build and deploy highly customized
business applications. It also integrates hybrid processes, hybrid
applications, and hybrid IT infrastructure on a single platform,
thus emerging as a best-in-class solution provider.
The market for iPaaS is evolving rapidly in industries such as
manufacturing, and Fujitsu's RunMyProcess can streamline the
end-to-end business processes and bring more visibility to help
businesses comply with changing regulations. Few participants can
match Fujitsu's deployment rates in the iPaaS market, but what
really sets the company apart is its ability to supply the platform
as a service without cannibalizing its software solutions.
"As Industry 4.0 alters dynamics in the manufacturing
industries, Fujitsu could lead the market and create many
disruptive changes in the way that the manufacturing is currently
being executed," said Frost & Sullivan Senior Industry Analyst
Naveen Kumar Ramasamy. "Fujitsu
enables end users to pick and choose a variety of expert services
remotely and integrate them to make proactive decisions that
increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their manufacturing or
business execution."
Fujitsu achieves a high level of success by providing an
intuitive workflow creation design tool with a simple graphics user
interface (GUI) as well as a larger number of connectors in the
library to integrate with other applications or databases.
Secondly, the flagship feature integrates the Fujitsu RunMyProcess
platform with a secure, on-premise local network. Thirdly, it
offers an attractive pricing model with both per-user and
usage-based pricing options.
Fujitsu's innovative iPaaS enables higher productivity for
fast-paced business models and saves customers considerable time.
It also simplified cloud-based business service mechanisms to
provide higher value for customers that were underserved until a
few years ago.
"The excellence in growth strategy and implementation from
Fujitsu allows the company to not only resolve user challenges but
also create business value innovation for them," noted Ramasamy.
"It is a boon to customers to not to worry on IT infrastructure
limitations and instead concentrate on taking products or services
to the market in a relatively short time and jump-start their
projects."
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the
company that has demonstrated excellence in implementing strategies
that proactively create value for its customers with a focus on
improving the return on the investment that customers make in its
services or products. The award recognizes the company's inordinate
focus on enhancing the value that its customers receive, beyond
simply good customer service, leading to improved customer
retention and ultimately customer base expansion.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies
in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating
outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as
leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and
strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market
participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews,
analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify
best practices in the industry.
