TOKYO, Dec 26, 2023 - (JCN Newswire) - Earlier this year Fujitsu announced its vision for 2030 under a new Mid-term Management Plan, underlining its ambition to transform into “a technology company that realizes net positive outcomes for its stakeholders including society, customers, shareholders and employees, while providing digital services which contribute to sustainability across industries.”
The three years until 2025 represent a critical period for the realization of this vision, during which Fujitsu will position itself for sustainable growth and improved profitability and embark on a comprehensive transformation of its business model and portfolio. In so doing, Fujitsu will ensure support for customer modernization and improve profitability of its international business by shifting to a service-focused strategy.
In alignment with this strategy and to further strengthen management of its hardware business, which primarily focuses on servers and storage solutions, Fujitsu today announced its decision to integrate core functions related to this area into "Fsas Technologies Inc." for the Japanese market, launching the new business on April 1, 2024 under Fujitsu Limited.

After the reorganization, Fujitsu will combine extensive offerings based on its advanced technologies with Fsas Technologies’ high-value-added hardware solutions, which can be quickly adapted to the needs of customers, to deliver comprehensive solutions as Group that support societal and corporate transformation.
