But doesn’t make up for the loss of the NHS!

As you may be aware, Fujitsu have had the NHS contract for the South and South East regions terminated - £800 million worth. Not a good start to the financial year!

Hot on the heels of this loss comes the announcement of a contract win. Fujitsu have picked up a further two year contract with the Environment Agency to continue to develop a managed service that protects the public from the riskof flooding. During this period, Fujitsu will assist the Environment Agency to evolve the system to meet the recommendations of the Pitt Review.

The system, Floodline Warnings Direct (FWD), was designed and developed by Fujitsu in association with the Environment Agency and was opened up to the public at the beginning of 2006. It is a map based application, hosted in Fujitsu. The map based app allows the Environment Agency to determine target areas for pre-defined warning messages.

So, as long as it works, you should have plenty of time to get out before you house slips beneath the waves!
