Nina Lutjens, Vice President of Sales, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Recognized as one of CRN's 2012 Channel Chiefs

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, announced today that Nina Lutjens, vice president, sales, Imaging Products Group, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., has been named one of CRN's 2012 Channel Chiefs. This prestigious list consists of the most influential and powerful leaders in the IT channel. Lutjens was recognized for driving channel sales and growth, while evangelizing and defending the importance of the channel throughout the entire IT Industry.

Under Lutjens' watch, Fujitsu achieved record indirect sales numbers during 2011. Market share showed significant growth, and the company successfully launched two new innovative products to their partner community – the Fujitsu ScanSnap N1800 Network Scanner and the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 Scanner – in order to provide Fujitsu partners with the latest innovations and a broader choice of best of market solutions to fit each end-user's needs. Each new scanner opens up doors for the partner community so their ecosystem can continue to tap undeveloped markets that have yet to be exposed to the power of document management. 

Lutjens introduced several innovative new program initiatives to the Fujitsu One Capture Alliance Program (OCA), which provides Fujitsu sellers with the information, marketing tools, and support they need to build a better business. These initiatives include:

• Automated rebate system for the OCA partner base that bypasses the use of invoices, automatically distributing rebates to resellers on a quarterly basis. 
• Continued partner loyalty program that serves as an educational portal for new products and services.
• Trade-in program to give the Fujitsu partner base an environmentally conscious way of disposing of legacy products that may contain hazardous materials such as mercury.

"One thing that makes our channel program so unique is its dedication to partner success," said Nina Lutjens, vice president, sales, Imaging Products Group, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "The Fujitsu "One Capture Alliance" Imaging Partner Program puts the power of Fujitsu behind every sales call. This company-wide, channel-focused initiative creates stronger working relationships, new opportunities, greater access to valuable information and enhanced marketing support for our imaging partners."

With more than 20 years of technology sales and marketing experiences, Lutjens has been recognized on several occasions by CRN for her accomplishments and influence within the channel. In 2010 she was selected as CRN's Channel Chief and in 2011 she was chosen as one of the top "Women of the Channel."

"The 2012 Channel Chiefs list recognizes vendor executives dedicated to driving channel programs in the IT marketplace," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, UBM Channel. "Our annual Channel Chiefs issue is a must-read for IT solution providers evaluating new vendors or looking to expand solution offerings. These are the people, the products and the programs that any savvy solution provider needs to know. We congratulate this year's Channel Chiefs for their stellar record of business innovation and applaud them for their continued dedication to the partner community."
