Fujitsu Siemens Computers demonstrates high priority to quality management by sponsoring e-TQM College's Media Quality Award UAE 2004

FSC, which has emerged within less than a year, as one of the top five IT vendors in the Middle East, will be offering its top-of-the-range AMILO notebooks to the winners of the Media Quality Award which is open to UAE-based journalists. The prizes will be presented at the annual e-TQM College Gala Dinner in Dubai on March 23, 2004.

"Fujitsu Siemens Computers regards Total Quality Management (TQM) as the main building block of businesses today. TQM is a tool that can assist businesses in improving overall performance and, used to its full potential, can ensure long term success. The importance given to methodologies and certifications like Six Sigma and ISO 9000 has brought about a qualitative improvement in productivity and efficiency," said Sheila Bibi, MENA Marketing Operations Manager, Fujitsu Siemens Computers.

The AMILO notebooks offered by FSC to the winners bring wireless surfing and professional mobility to the home-user. They include high-end multimedia features complemented by an extra wide screen, to allow peak performance in playing video films and computer games. Powered by the Intel Centrino mobile technology, the notebooks incorporate leading edge audio and video features needed to convert a laptop into a full-fledged multimedia machine.

The Media Quality Award UAE 2004, the first of its kind in the region, will recognise journalists writing on any one of the following topics: business excellence practices, Business Process Re-engineering (BPR), Total Quality Management (TQM), Six Sigma and ISO 9000.
