Fujitsu Software Corporation and Zensar Technologies today announced that they have entered into a strategic alliance, providing companies with systems integration services using Fujitsu's INTERSTAGE(TM) e-Business Platform. Under the agreement, Zensar joins Fujitsu Software Corporation's CenterStage Partner Program, which gives Zensar access to Fujitsu's technology, support, and expertise, and qualifies Zensar for joint marketing and sales opportunities. Fujitsu gains additional exposure to Zensar's expanding base of customers in the United States, India, and other global markets, opening new opportunities to deploy its INTERSTAGE e-Business Platform.

Today's announcement builds upon a long-standing relationship between Fujitsu and Zensar. Zensar's team of 1000 professionals in 23 offices currently includes more than 30 consultants trained on Fujitsu's INTERSTAGE e-Business Platform, including the INTERSTAGE Application Server and INTERSTAGE i-Flow Business Process Management Engine.

"Our customers rely on us to provide effective e-business solutions, and we, in turn, look to Fujitsu's INTERSTAGE e-Business Platform for the standards-based technologies that ensure success," says Ganesh Natrajan, Global Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Chairman, Zensar Technologies. "We know that the training and support Zensar professionals gain through Fujitsu Software Corporation's CenterStage Partner Program will ensure robust and reliable customer implementations. We also expect our CenterStage membership to drive customer demand, and accordingly, we will plan to increase the number of Zensar specialists trained on INTERSTAGE."

"Fujitsu and Zensar have enjoyed years of collaboration, and we are thrilled to grow and strengthen that relationship by welcoming Zensar to the CenterStage Partner Program," said Shizuo Inagaki, President of Fujitsu Software Corporation. "It is enormously important to Fujitsu that Zensar customers continue to reap the full benefits of our standards-based INTERSTAGE e-Business Platform, and this deal will ensure that Zensar's team of dedicated professionals has training and resources at hand to make that possible."

Zensar has collaborated with Fujitsu on the development of INTERSTAGE technologies at Fujitsu Australia Software Technology (FAST) in Sydney, and has leveraged the INTERSTAGE Application Server to execute all stages of major client projects, including architecture design, business process analysis, implementation, testing, customization, and maintenance. Zensar recently used Fujitsu's INTERSTAGE e-Business Platform to build for NIFTY Corporation, Japan's largest ISP, a consumer-to-consumer e-Commerce portal, Nifty@Pay. The System allows NIFTY's registered users to buy and sell digital content, including music and screensavers, over the Internet. Automatic online payment makes it possible for users to avoid entering credit card details and other individual information.
