FUJISOFT Announces Launch of Mobile Thin Client Service
FUJISOFT develops the FSMobile® for Thin Client, a USB data communications terminal that combines thin client functions with a communications module
FUJISOFT INCORPORATED (“FUJISOFT” / First Section of Tokyo Stock Exchange 9749 / Head office: Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan / President: Haruhisa Shiraishi) is pleased to announce the launch of its Mobile Thin Client service from May 11, 2010. This service improves security by not leaving corporate data on computers that are taken out of the office.
As part of the launch of this service, FUJISOFT has also developed FSMobile® for Thin Client, a USB data communications terminal that combines thin client functions with high-speed mobile communications functions. The FSMobile® for Thin Client will also be released on May 11, 2010.
It is becoming increasingly important for companies to strengthen their security, but employees are also taking their computers out of the office as an effective way of improving the efficiency of their work. As a result, there is a high demand for the creation of network environments that strike a good balance between usability on the one hand and security concerns (such as preventing information leaks and virus infections) on the other hand.
| It has been estimated that the market for thin client solutions will be worth more than ¥140 billion by 2013. In July last year, FUJISOFT selected thin client + SaaS as a potential engine for medium- to long-term growth. The launch of the Mobile Thin Client service today is the first step in making thin client + SaaS a key pillar of FUJISOFT’s business, and FUJISOFT is aiming to generate ¥500 million in revenue from this service during its first year of operation. | 【Environment for using FSMobile® for Thin Client】 |

FUJISOFT’s new Mobile Thin Client service offers an optimal configuration to meet corporate needs, covering everything from servers through to software creation and thin client terminals. To allow customers to trial and evaluate the service at minimal cost, FUJISOFT is providing a Starter Pack at the special price of only ¥3,994,000 for the initial setup costs.
FUJISOFT will also release FSMobile® for Thin Client as one of the key elements of the Mobile Thin Client service.
