SAINT-LAURENT, QUEBEC, Feb. 5, 1998 -- Avanciel Data Products. Ltd., a leading sales and service reseller of mobile computers, today announced that Fujitsu PC Corporation has selected it to be its first Authorized Solution Provider in Canada. This will represent the first time Canadian-based customers of Fujitsu's extremely popular LifeBook notebook PC's will have a resource centre for service and support issues located within Canada.

The selection of Avanciel to join the Fujitsu PC Authorized Solution Provider Program was based on Avanciel's industry longevity, dedication to the mobile computing sector, and ability to offer a level of support comparable to that offered by Fujitsu PC in the U.S. "We are happy to welcome Avanciel to our Authorized Solution Provider Program. Their track record as a notebook service centre and ability to harmonize their service offerings with those of Fujitsu will provide our Canadian customers with an expedited level of support," said Matt Hamilton, Fujitsu PC Business Development Manager. Avanciel is one of the few Canadian companies to specialize in mobile computing, and is the only one to have been chosen as an Authorized Service Centre for all of the following companies: IBM, Hewlett-Packard, COMPAQ, Hitachi, and the Future Shop chain of stores.

"The appointment by Fujitsu PC is a significant one for us," said Daniel Carpini, Avanciel founder and president. "They are recognized as one of the leading worldwide IT solution providers, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to work with them, particularly since their notebooks have become market leaders in such a short period of time. In addition, this benefits Fujitsu's Canadian customers, who in the past had to send their computers back to the U.S. for servicing, resulting in long and costly delays."

As part of their duties under the Fujitsu PC Authorized Solution Provider Program, Avanciel will provide the following services to Fujitsu PC customers: in-warranty depot repairs for the entire LifeBook line; Level 1 telephone technical support; software restores and upgrades; and accessory sales. Additional responsibilities under consideration are French-language technical support, as well as stocking of demonstration units for potential customers.
