Fujitsu Launches MetaArc, Its Digital Business Platform
MetaArc integrates the systems of engagement (SoE) that enable customers' digital transformations, such as business process innovations and the creation of new businesses, and systems of record (SoR), which are existing information systems, including mission critical systems, on a single platform.
Through its own internal use of MetaArc, Fujitsu is continually working to improve its functionality and quality. Since February 2015, in addition to the migration of its own systems to K5, Fujitsu has proceeded with deployments for such front-line units as system engineering, software development, and Fujitsu Laboratories.
Based on this experience and knowhow, MetaArc, as well as FUJITSU Knowledge Integration, an innovation concept for driving the digital business era announced in May, Fujitsu enables connections between people, data, and infrastructure that transcend conventional company or industry frameworks, thereby helping corporate customers create new value and enhance their competitiveness.
Fujitsu is positioning MetaArc as its global platform, and after first launching in Japan, the Fujitsu Group will steadily roll it out to Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.
