In April 2022, Fujitsu, ISID, a subsidiary of Dentsu Group Inc., and Dentsu Inc. started a strategic partnership toward the realization of customer-oriented transformation aligned with three value chains -- "engineering chain," "supply chain" and "demand chain" -- to contribute to the continued business growth of client companies and the resolution of environmental and societal issues. As part of this partnership, Fujitsu and ISID announced the launch of a joint project to provide Siemens Digital Industries Software's (1) product life cycle management (PLM) system "Teamcenter," and will work toward achieving digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing industry in the engineering chain.

DIPRO, a member of the Fujitsu Group, has now joined this joint project, and the three companies have agreed to further strengthen their organization for providing PLM systems.
