Solution Supports Enterprise Customers’ Needs for Increased Business Agility, Efficiency and Continuity

May 25, 2004 – Sunnyvale, CA – Fujitsu Software Corporation today announced that Interstage® XML Search (Shunsaku Data Manager) is the first solution from the Interstage Suite of application integration software products to incorporate the elements of TRIOLE™, Fujitsu’s global IT optimization strategy.

The TRIOLE strategy, based on real-life customer experiences, addresses the design, development and deployment of products, solutions and services to uniquely help customers optimize their IT infrastructure to their business processes. Providing pre-validated templates, TRIOLE enables customers to get up and running quickly with proven solutions aimed at increasing business agility, efficiency and continuity. TRIOLE already has been successfully implemented at many customer sites in Japan, where the strategy was first introduced. Based on these initial successes, TRIOLE is now being rolled out worldwide. (For more information, see www.fujitsu.com/triole/.)

A key software element of the TRIOLE strategy, Interstage XML Search has been integrated as “search-in-a-box” with Fujitsu’s leading edge PRIMERGY® blade and PRIMEPOWER® servers, pre-configured and pre-tested in the Fujitsu labs using the TRIOLE Platform Integration (Pi) Templates to substantially reduce the cost of integration and deployment of customer sites. The result is a complete search solution that is proven, predictable and highly scalable.

“Our global enterprise customers are generating more and more data. Until now, conventional approaches to keeping up with the flow of data were too expensive, too complex or too slow,” said Robert Sepanloo, senior vice president of Interstage at Fujitsu Software Corporation. “By incorporating the TRIOLE strategy, we’re able to deliver on the promise of IT optimization by offering a solution that allows for significant cost reduction while enabling rapid and reliable data search and retrieval.”

About Interstage XML Search (Shunsaku Data Manager)
Based on patented Fujitsu technology, Interstage XML Search provides the most reliable, predictable and scalable solution for finding information distributed across vast heterogeneous data stores. Interstage XML Search enables searches of both structured (data from databases) and unstructured data (data from business documents). Its search performance is not affected by search complexity or by system load, so queries are completed in virtually the same time. The first commercial solution of its kind, Interstage XML Search makes the indexing, tuning and other database-related tasks that consume resources and constrain agility obsolete. As a result, Interstage XML Search dramatically reduces the costs of application development, deployment and maintenance – enabling enterprises to get value out of their data faster.

The result enables customers to increase efficiency, enhance agility and improve continuity now and into the future.
