Introduction

Fujitsu is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Middleware Technical Community web site located at www.fmwtc.net.

This community site is for the exclusive use of persons who have passed one of the many Middleware Certification Program courses available from Fujitsu (see the FMCP site for more details about the program).

The site offers a rich environment designed to encourage collaboration amongst professionals working with Fujitsu’s Interstage and Systemwalker Middleware product suites. It is designed to operate as a collaborative community - there is no single publisher for content in the site - allowing all Middleware Certified personnel equal opportunity to contribute and comment on any content published.

By providing such a rich collaborative community site, Fujitsu recognizes the wealth of knowledge within the community and reaffirms its commitment to the Middleware Certification Program.
