SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2001

Rollout of INTERSTAGE Application Server 4.0,

100% Java- and Browser-Based i-Flow 4.1 and QoEtient

eBusiness Management Platform Sets the Stage for Global Expansion

Fujitsu Software Corporation (FS), a U.S.-based wholly-owned subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited, today announced the launch of a major ebusiness software initiative in the United States led by the introduction of its INTERSTAGE Application Server 4.0.

FS initially will distribute the INTERSTAGE Application Server, its i-Flow business process automation product, and its QoEtient eBusiness Management Platform (eBMP) through direct sales, partners, and Fujitsu group channels. The introduction of these ebusiness software solutions today in the U.S. underscores Fujitsu's commitment to the world's largest and most demanding market.

"Our timing for entering the U.S. market is fortunate because our technologies are well-positioned to lead the next wave of the ebusiness technology revolution, with the explosion of business-to-business and peer-to-peer transactions," said Shizuo Inagaki, president of Fujitsu Software Corporation. "By introducing these products to the U.S. and global markets, Fujitsu Software Corporation expands its market presence beyond its already-strong customer base in Japan."

FS' parent, Fujitsu Limited, is the third-largest information technology products and services company in the world, with 60,000 IT support and service professionals and operations in more than 100 countries. Fujitsu is already the leading application server provider in Japan, where it commands a more than 30 percent market share.

"Our market leadership is based on more than 30 years of experience in developing enterprise computer platforms, including transaction monitoring and non-stop operations," Inagaki added. "We've built our ebusiness software on this solid foundation."

Fujitsu's flagship ebusiness product is the INTERSTAGE Application Server. By late 2001, the INTERSTAGE Application Server will be installed on 25,000 servers worldwide. Customers include one of the world's largest automakers and half of the top-tier financial institutions in Japan.

In addition to the new INTERSTAGE Application Server 4.0, FS is introducing i-Flow 4.1, a new version of the 100% Java- and only 100% browser-based business process automation engine on the market. It already is in use at some of the largest Global 1000 companies to automate their Internet-based business processes. It also plans to introduce its QoEtient eBusiness Management Platform, the high-end service for managing ebusiness quality of experience on the Internet. (Please see accompanying releases.)

Come visit Fujitsu Software Corporation's demonstration of these and other new products at the JavaOne Developer Conference in San Francisco June 4-7, Booth No. 1509.
