Microsoft Gold Certified Partners Fujitsu and Sitecore provide global website outsourcing and Content Management

Copenhagen and San Francisco, CA – September 11, 2007 - Fujitsu, one of Europe’s leading IT Services companies is collaborating with Sitecore to provide corporations with superior global hosting facilities. Sitecore is a leading international supplier of enterprise website, portal and intranet software. Its 1200 customers include Dollar Rent a Car, Siemens, Toshiba, Thrifty, and CA. The initial phase of website hosting and content management will evolve into a comprehensive Software as a Service (SaaS) offering.

“Sitecore has built upon the power of Microsoft’s .NET Framework, Internet Information Services (IIS) and the clean Windows Vista interface to create a world-class website Content Management System (CMS),” said Tim O’Brien, director of the platform strategy group at Microsoft. “By partnering with fellow Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Fujitsu as their hosting partner, enterprises now have a global brand backing a hosted solution for their website and its CMS, and a path to Software plus Services.”

Sitecore’s growth in corporate accounts parallels our emphasis and ongoing plans in the corporate marketplace, so it’s really a perfect match.”

“Our corporate customers demand that we can offer the services of a large international player to accommodate their needs for large-scale flexible and distributed hosting,” says Lars Floe Nielsen, ISV Ecosystem Manager of Sitecore. “Fujitsu’s portfolio and service capabilities impressed us. At Sitecore, we’re also excited by this agreement because it moves Fujitsu and Sitecore further into the center of emerging Software plus Services concepts and projects. Our close relationship and collaboration with Microsoft offers an excellent platform on the road to Software plus Services.”
