Fujitsu Siemens Computers Launches New Promotional Activities to Support Ongoing Demand for SAP® Discovery System

Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT provider, today launched several new promotional activities to better help customers realize the benefits of the SAP® Discovery System. SAP Discovery System provides a range of new and unique features which facilitate, secure and accelerate the transition from traditional architecture to the new and exciting world of enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA).

Teaming closely with SAP AG, Fujitsu Siemens Computers has carried out several promotional activities to support the SAP Discovery System for eSOA. Having pre-announced hardware support for the SAP Discovery System at joint events in major European countries and after hosting a global webinar on the topic of business responsive IT for eSOA, Fujitsu Siemens Computers and SAP AG will lead joint workshops during SAPPHIRE® Vienna ‘07. Each day, SAP and Fujitsu Siemens Computers will host one session demonstrating the benefits of SAP Discovery System and eSOA to all attendees. Companies who want more personalised information can request exclusive sessions throughout the day.

The joint offering further emphasises the shared vision of SAP and Fujitsu Siemens Computers for eSOA. The SAP Discovery System is pre-installed on Fujitsu Siemens Computers´ Primergy TX300 S3 Series servers. Fujitsu Siemens Computers provides a unique functionality which allows the system to be reset to factory pre-installation mode: customers and partners are therefore able to evaluate business scenarios with original data each time. In this way, the fully configured system is a hands-on method for businesses to experience and understand the impact and benefits of eSOA for their organisation.

Companies will benefit most from the SAP Discovery System running on Fujitsu Siemens Computers hardware if they attend specially designed customer workshops held by Fujitsu Siemens Computers, SAP and local partners. This ensures that businesses receive professional assistance in order to understand how to get the most out of the system.

Designed both for demo and training purposes, the system is ideal for enterprises which often run multiple SAP applications. Scenarios include a typical procurement business process based on enterprise services, a number of other business scenarios for personal productivity and a series of scenarios allowing deeper analysis of SAP products such as GRC, MDM, RFID etc. It also eliminates the need for time-consuming and costly assessments carried out by external expert eSOA consultants. This is an easy and economical way to start out on the road to a full eSOA implementation.

“Fujitsu Siemens Computers shares our vision for enterprise SOA and is a key advocacy and execution partner with enterprise customers,” said Michel Serie, vice president, Solution Office, SAP AG. “Their technology expertise is outstanding, which is proved by the functionality within the SAP Discovery System. As a result, we are certain of seeing traction amongst businesses.”

Jens Peter Seick, Senior Vice President Enterprise Business EMEA, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, said, “We enhance the SAP Discovery System with unique features and services which set us apart from the market. It is a simple and useful way for application specialists, IT managers and enterprise infrastructure managers alike to evaluate SAP applications within the familiar structure of their organisation. The best proof for this is the number of the customer orders received already.”
