==History==
The origins of the company can be traced back to the merger of the PC-divisions of the Finnish [[Nokia]] and the Swedish [[Ericsson]] in the mid 1980s when Ericsson PCs were known for their [[ergonomic]]s and bright colors. In 1991 Nokia Data was sold to the British [[International Computers Limited]] (ICL). Later ICL merged with [[Fujitsu]].
The Nokia '''MikroMikko''' line of compact desktop computers continued to be produced at the Kilo factories in [[Espoo, Finland]]. Components, including [[motherboard]]s and [[Ethernet]] [[network adapter]]s were manufactured locally, until production was moved to [[Taiwan]]. Internationally the MikroMikko line was marketed by Fujitsu as the '''ErgoPro'''.
The [[Germany|German]] half of the company, [[Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme]], was the result of the merger of [[Nixdorf Computer AG|Nixdorf Computer]] with [[Siemens AG|Siemens]].
In 2003, the company won the [[Wharton Infosys Business Transformation Award]] for their use of information technology in an industry-transforming way.
