OREANDA-NEWS. December 19, 2011. Fujitsu has announced that it will reorganize and integrate its regional systems engineering (SE) companies—the backbone of Fujitsu's solutions and systems integration business—as part of the Fujitsu Group's strategy of going on offense with structural reforms. Starting April 2012, it will create a new regional SE structure with a focus on the regions of eastern Japan, western Japan, and Kyushu.

The new companies for eastern Japan and western Japan, which will form the core of the new structure, are expected to achieve sales in the 100 billion yen range.

As a result of this reorganization and integration, the management resources and expertise that are currently dispersed across various regional SE companies will be consolidated within the Fujitsu Group in a way that leads to more effective use of resources and greater efficiencies in development investments. As the Fujitsu Group strengthens its cloud and other services businesses, and accelerates its globalization, this reorganization will bolster Fujitsu's competitiveness to expand its regional business in Japan, and will create an SE framework that can contribute even further to the development of Fujitsu Group customers.
