Fujitsu Philippines Inc., a leading Information
Technology (IT) systems integrator and solutions provider
in the Philippines, recently launched its new office in Sta. Rosa, Laguna to strengthen
its operations in the region.
According to FPI president Raul “Cricket” Santiago III,
the Laguna office will serve as the consultation office for its more than 75
customers in the South, bringing the company’s products and services closer to
them.
“With the new office in place, our customers no longer
need to waste their time in travel. Now, our workforce can address our
customers’ I.T. woes faster and more efficiently,” Santiago said.
The office is designed as a “hot desk” where employees
can use different work stations during shifting time periods. This means that
no permanent seats are provided for each employee. This is intended to encourage more customer
interface outside the offices.
“Our employees are expected to work outside the office,
usually where their clients are. For closed door meetings and other
consultations, they can invite the customers here and discuss important
matters,” Santiago added.
Designed in a tele-conference setup, the new Fujitsu
office allows the clients and the employees to consult with technical persons
based in the Manila and Cebu offices. Moving forward, Santiago said that “the
advancement of technology will soon allow us to conduct video conferences with
Fujitsu’s headquarters in Singapore, Japan and Australia.”
The new satellite office, according to Santiago, will
allow his team to focus more on its clients within the area, helping them
innovate their business as demanded by the spurring growth in Laguna. Furthermore,
it opens more convenience to its employees who reside in the region.
As Laguna preserves its arts and handicrafts, some areas—more
particularly the City of Santa Rosa— is now showing great potential in
attracting more investors and job seekers who want to play in the IT-BPO
sector. In fact, Santa Rosa City is ranked 82nd in the world for its
competitiveness in the industry, according to a leading strategic firm THOLONS.
It is with this fact that the city is recognized as the “Investment Capital of
South Luzon.”
“The province continues to boom, spurring further growth
across different sectors such as real estate, manufacturing, automotive and
BPO, with further growth shared by the SMEs. Through our new office, we will be
able to service our customers and potential clients with our end-to-end
solutions without a sweat,” Santiago said.
The opening of the new satellite office comes on the
heels of Fujitsu’s 40th anniversary of successful business
operations in the Philippines. This will offer the company’s services ranging
from infrastructure and enterprise solutions, managed and application services.
“Forty years had gone since Fujitsu operated in the
Philippines. As we make a new roadmap for growth, we will continue to support
more lives and help solve social challenges,” Santiago said. “For our part,
Fujitsu will ensure that these services will enable them to deliver innovation
across sectors.”
Reflecting at Fujitsu’s modest achievements over the
years, Santiago ensured that the company will continue to foster new
innovations to improve the lives of millions and raise new breeds who have the
potential to be the next industry leaders.
He concluded, “This is our first initiative; for the
coming future, we will provide our wide portfolio of technologies and services
to our customers. What we see is only 10 percent of what Fujitsu can offer, and
there’s 90 percent more to be seen.”
