Feedback

December 2007 -January 2008 January 2008 February 2008



Fujitsu first spent eight months trying to build own MI tool internally on
Solution evaluation
Share Point. This project was ceased due to:

1.  Internal development became time consuming & expensive
2.  IT did not have experience in MI tools
3.  MI people did not have experience in IT
4.  It would have required lots of effort to maintain the solution, once built

Then, Fujitsu evaluated external systems and chose GIA’s Intelligence Plaza

“The Intelligence Plaza® seemed to fit our needs very well. We were
also convinced by its large user base and GIA’s consultative
expertise that we could leverage their experience and thereby
avoid many potential pitfalls in the implementation process.”

Pilot kick off •  Pilot targeted mainly at Sales & Account Management,
Marketing, and Senior Management, and the user base
spans across Europe (50 pilot users)

•  Fujitsu services tested both the tool and the different
content setup for delivering to and from the tool

•  The daily email alert combines information content that
has been produced partly by:
•  Dedicated GIA analyst team
•  Information vendors whose reports Fujitsu purchases
•  and of course by Fujitsu’s internal analyst team


Fujitsu’s key learnings from setup process

•  Intelligence Plaza® is better, faster and cheaper
than a separate project done by internal IT

•  the Plaza is far more efficient than trying to
spend analyst time in configuring MS SharePoint


Fujitsu Services’ other experiences and best
practices in setting up MI tools

•  Having budget and senior-level sponsorship
•  Understanding what internal customers really need
•  A simple, clear, easy-to-use interface
•  An effective taxonomy
•  Daily email alerts are key to making people aware of the
centralized intelligence tool
•  Getting local champions to further boost internal marketing and
to increase people’s involvement
•  Working with GIA - GIA’s consultative engagement style
considerably accelerated the implementation process.
