Fujitsu Ltd has also announced new versions of its own groupware system, newly put up under Solaris on S(Sun)-family servers and Windows, DOS/V and Macintosh clients. The IFOS-SV/U system was first shipped two years ago, and Fujitsu claims that it is used by around 85 companies, with a total of 7,500 client machines installed in a wide range of industries. To date the client versions of the software have been available only for MS-DOS personal computers such as Fujitsu’s own FMR series and personal computers from IBM Japan Ltd and NEC Corp. Fujitsu has also set up a new range of support services, which are available all around Japan – this new service division will employ over 200 people, up from 50 currently. Over the next three years, Fujitsu expects to sell 1,500 systems consisting of 200,000 clients.
