Over the past few years, Fujitsu Limited has implemented a program that substantially reduced the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the company’s mission-critical indirect purchasing systems. By consolidating several legacy applications onto PRIMEQUEST servers running the Linux operating system, Fujitsu was able to reduce its TCO by 53.6 percent. The company realized savings across all key metrics, including hardware, software, data center occupancy, and personnel costs. In addition to the TCO savings, Fujitsu realized significant gains in workforce efficiency by integrating their purchasing applications during the consolidation project.
In a recent white paper co-authored by Fujitsu Limited and Intel Corporation entitled “Reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Through Server Consolidation”, details were provided about this highly successful program.
