Gartner positions Fujitsu as leader

Fujitsu has been positioned by Gartner as a leader in two Magic Quadrant reports: Help Desk Outsourcing, Europe1, and Desktop Outsourcing, Europe2, says Advertiser Talk.

The reports are evaluations based on completeness of vision and ability to execute. Gartner defines 'leaders' as “[those who] are performing skilfully, have a clear vision of the market's direction and are developing competencies to maintain their leadership position. They shape the market, rather than follow it.”

Both reports reflect Fujitsu's European scale and breadth of capability, as well as highlight the importance of standardising and industrialising the way Fujitsu designs and delivers services.

Infosys, the country's second-largest software exporter by sales after Tata Consultancy, had previously forecast sequential revenue growth of 4.1% to 5.1%, or about $1.413 billion to $1.427 billion for the current quarter ending 30 September.
