In its 75 years of establishment, Fujitsu spearheaded notable innovative breakthroughs in IT and telecommunication activities — from its early days of telephone switching in the 1930s, to the ‘parallel computing’ generation of the 1970s, and up to the more recent biometric (palm vein) authentication technology and introducing the world's first 3D Desktop PC.

“The Transformation Programme at the company will see clearer definition of five (5) of its vertical business lines that are broadly segregated into: a) Platform Products (servers, storage, and scanners) b) Infrastructure Integration Services c) Network Services d) Applications Services and e) Managed/Outsourcing services.”

He says that Fujitsu Malaysia has also strengthened its teams to support the industry verticals of Public Service/Government, Telecommunication, Healthcare, Education, Enterprise, Oil & Gas and Financial Services – earmarked as the local sectors that are closely correlated to the recent cloud services trend within the region.

Overall Performance, Fujitsu’s Direction Ahead
