Bringing About a Prosperous FutureFor the creation of a prosperous future that fulfills the dreams of people, we will strive to advance
ICT and leverage its power for our customers, local communities and the planet, creating new values and
underpinning the sustainable development of society.
Strategic Vision of the Fujitsu Group
Computers, which began to be widely used in the 1970s, performed important roles
in advancing science and technology and in improving industrial productivity.
However, computers called for special knowledge and skills. Business hours also had
to be shifted depending on the timing of computer availability. It was a
computer-centric era.
The 1990s saw
the explosive growth
of the Internet and
networking systems
became central to
business. E-mail
communications,
with information provided and searchable on the Web, made it possible to use
networks to do business with the world. Networks brought dramatic changes in both
lifestyles and work styles, and marked the advent of the network-centric era.
Now, ICT is ushering in a new era in which people can take advantage of the
computer/network environment without even being
aware of it. Much faster networks combined with
advances in mobile phones, smartphones and
other terminals, and the spread of cloud
computing now make ICT resources readily
available to anyone. This has made ICT a
truly human-centric infrastructure.
Now that ICT has permeated social life and business and can be readily used by
anyone, tremendous volumes of data are being generated in our daily lives and
business activities. Corresponding advances in ICT infrastructure make it possible to
record, analyze and use effectively this large amount of data. In product
development, for example, digital data exists for everything from records of the
design, through queries to call centers, to the product ratings on social networks.
Collating this information makes it possible to detect potential problems early on and
to take preventive action. The Group is developing technologies and service platforms
to collect and analyze this data, which will shed light on what was once obscure and
generate insights. Such insights have the potential to bring about innovations not
only in business but also in agriculture, healthcare, energy and the environment or
any other field of human activity.
Leveraging the power of ICT, the Fujitsu Group is working to achieve an intelligent
and human-centric society where people can lead prosperous lives. We will actively
collaborate with our customers and other stakeholders and seek to create new
business opportunities. At the same time, we will address global environmental issues
and other problems facing the world, including that of poverty in developing nations.
For example, by acquiring and analyzing the patterns of
power usage in businesses and homes we can optimize the
energy utilization of society as a whole. Acquisition and
analysis of locations and speeds from information terminals
in the cars that travel our city streets can yield the practical
wisdom to avoid traffic jams and accidents. Also, by
monitoring the physical conditions and lifestyles of
individuals, we can help them lead healthier lives, better
manage chronic conditions, and more rapidly deal with
acute illnesses.
