Fujitsu in 2007 "We're in NPfIT to stay"

After suggestions in 2007 that Fujitsu might not remain as a local service provider on the National Programme for IT I formally asked the company: "Will Fujitsu be a local service provider to the NHS in six months time?" That was in September 2007.

The reply ... "Fujitsu confirms it's in NPfIT to stay." It added: "Our commitment to delivering better healthcare for all continues with the work we are undertaking with the Southern Programme for IT."

There's nothing like experience to cure optimism.

So what will happen to those Fujitsu staffs that worked on this programme? Guess they will have to be looking elsewhere for new jobs.

I worked for fujitsu for 2yrs (contracting, permanent & contracting again) and in March 2008, they lost a contract to another rival, which meant some of the permanent staffs had to transfer through TUPE or else lose their job and find somewhere else. I was affected although was a contractor but luckily I was hoping to leave initially after being with them for almost a year.
