FRISCO, Texas --(Business Wire)-- Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. today announced that its GlobalSTORE software was named a leader in the September 2006 Forrester Wave(TM) report titled "POS Software, Q3 2006." In the report, Fujitsu ranked as a leader in both the Store Operations Platforms approach and Enterprise-Centric Solutions approach to point-of-sale (POS) software.



Forrester Research evaluated GlobalSTORE and its POS software strategy against 137 criteria and compared that evaluation against other industry vendors. According to the report, "Overall, Forrester ranked the product best in class in current offerings, with particular strengths in core POS and transaction types, and Fujitsu is one of the strongest vendors in security and PCI requirements support."

Fujitsu received top scores for the following criteria in both the Store Operations Platforms and Enterprise-Centric Solutions approaches:

-- Core POS

-- Transaction Types

-- Product Strategy and Vision

-- Corporate Strategy

"This is yet another very significant achievement for our GlobalSTORE software in 2006, and a testament to the strength of our store systems approach," said Austen Mulinder, president and chief executive officer at Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. "Fujitsu was the only company that received the maximum score (5) for 'Product strategy and vision' and 'Corporate strategy' for both Store Operations Platforms and Enterprise-Centric Solutions categories. This is strong recognition for the strategic approach and value delivered by Fujitsu's Pervasive Retailing(TM) Framework, a component of GlobalSTORE, which creates a single, store-centric platform to connect retail hardware, software and customer touch points."
