IRVINE, Calif., (March 19, 2008) – Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS) today announced that it has entered a strategic alliance with Fujitsu Computer Products of America Inc, a market leader in document imaging scanners and services, to offer Fujitsu’s award-winning line of small-footprint, high-speed scanning products through authorized Toshiba dealers. Incorporating Fujitsu’s best-in-class document capturing hardware with TABS’ robust line of document imaging products and solutions further positions TABS as a complete one-stop document management resource for its business customers.
“Pairing up with Fujitsu allows us to be even more flexible in meeting the business scanning needs of our customers, and offering another well-designed and trusted brand ensures we maintain our quality and standards,” said Joseph Contreras, director, Product and Solutions Marketing, TABS. “There are times when businesses need additional image capturing options, yet do not have the space or need for an additional MFP. By leveraging Fujitsu’s extensive scanner line, Toshiba dealers can now address those specific needs within their product catalogue, and have full confidence that they can meet any customer’s special scanning needs.”
