Fujitsu wins global managed services deal with explosives firm Dyno Nobel

Fujitsu has signed a multi-million-dollar managed services agreement with global explosives company Dyno Nobel, covering technology modernisation across 30 locations on six continents, with the engagement led out of Australia.

Under the deal, Fujitsu will manage and modernise Dyno Nobel's core technology environment, taking over day-to-day operations of a hybrid IT estate that spans business-critical applications, end-user technologies, networks and cybersecurity.

The scope includes digital workplace services, infrastructure and hybrid IT, business applications, network and cybersecurity, and professional services.

The agreement covers Dyno Nobel's operations in Australia, North America, Canada, Indonesia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. The company serves the mining, quarrying and construction sectors and employs more than 4,700 people worldwide.

Fujitsu said the arrangement is designed to reduce the time Dyno Nobel's internal teams spend maintaining legacy systems, freeing staff to focus on safety, innovation and customer outcomes.

"For many industrial organisations, too much time and energy still go into maintaining complex technology instead of using it to improve performance, safety and sustainability," said Peter Grassi, chief executive officer of Fujitsu in Oceania.

"By taking on the day-to-day management of Dyno Nobel's technology environment, we can help their teams focus on the work that creates the most value — serving customers, improving operations and driving innovation for the future."

“We chose Fujitsu because they bring the combination we’re looking for - a strong track record in managing complex technology environments, deep expertise across core and emerging technologies, and the ability to deliver end-to-end services at a global scale,” Cameron Stone, chief information officer at Dyno Nobel, said.

”Just as importantly, they have approached this as a true partner - taking the time to understand our business, our customers and our long-term priorities, and working with us to design a technology foundation that will support safer, smarter and more sustainable operations into the future.”

Fujitsu said the managed model is also intended to support Dyno Nobel's sustainability goals by reducing energy use and improving resource efficiency across its technology operations.
