The Fujitsu PalmSecure, together with bioLock, allowed us to provide a secure information platform that we can use to give the unconnected access to SAP content.” Lebohang Sophia Makhal, Engineering Technician at Transnet 68 INTELLIGENTCIO “The Fujitsu PalmSecure, together with bioLock, allowed us to provide a secure information platform that we can use to give the unconnected access to SAP content.” continues, “This technology is very important for Transnet Engineering to secure the identities of the employees.

Co-creation to me means we take the technologies and the skills we have available and we make that add real value and make a real difference. Together with our customers, and with Fujitsu, we can deliver technologies and solutions that change their world.” n www.intelligentcio.com
