CUSTOMER SOLUTION PROFILE
National Cancer Registration System Project
- Start building a database to gather information on
cancer patients across Japan
Currently, one in every two Japanese is likely to get cancer, and
the disease is said to cause one in every three deaths. Over-
coming cancer is therefore a significant issue in terms of
people’s lives and health. There was a need to construct a
database containing information on all of Japan’s cancer
patients so that healthcare professionals and researchers could
get an accurate grasp of the number of patients and the state
of their diagnosis, and utilize the information for development
of new treatment methods. The National Cancer Center is
constructing a National Cancer Registration System to collect
information from all cancer patients in Japan with a view to
launching operations in fiscal. Fujitsu’s large-scale data com-
parison technology will form the core of this system, and once
it is operating, it will enable
accurate identification of cancer
patients in Japan and the state of
their treatment. This new facility
is expected to enhance the
quality of cancer treatment.

First Municipality in Japan to Provide a Tablet for
All Pupils at Elementary and Junior High Schools
Arakawa Board of Education became the first municipality in
Japan to provide a tablet for each pupil, supplying them to
three elementary schools and a junior high school in 2013.
The schools use a Fujitsu hybrid tablet STYLISTIC Q702/G,
which has an attachable keyboard, giving it mobility and PC
functionality. It was selected because pen input enabled kanji
writing classes and a digitizer capable of drawing lines made
it usable for math. Using the tablets in conjunction with ICT
devices like electronic blackboards, students are able to utilize
multimedia teaching materials such as digital textbooks,
sparking communication among them that enabled more
effective learning. We hope that the project will enable chil-
dren, who are the guardians of the future, to pick up skills
such as problem
solving and communi-
cation capabilities, to
prepare them to make
their way confidently
in the global society
of tomorrow.
Arakawa Board of Education
business partners across the country to form a robust system
that will contribute to everyday convenience.
For the government, Fujitsu is moving ahead with such pro-
posals as cloud-based systems and common platform infrastruc-
ture in support of the government’s efforts to streamline its ICT
budget. In response to requirements from the national govern-
ment, Fujitsu will be quicker than other companies to propose
advanced systems that meet customer needs to “standardize and
share,” and that realize reductions to development and opera-
tions costs. Furthermore, based on our long track record in Japan,
we will work with the Japanese government to develop robust,
high quality public ICT platforms for Asian countries with the aim
of capturing global business.
In the field of education, Fujitsu is actively moving forward on
“future school” style initiatives that are even now underway. We
will help raise ICT utilization in education to a new level by sup-
porting the introduction of advanced lesson styles that incorpo-
rate tablets and extend this system to schools throughout Japan.
Moreover, we will promote alliances of private preparatory
schools with public education while providing support through
ICT, such as academic and career counseling utilizing big data.
In healthcare, we expect continued growth in electronic medi-
cal records and regional healthcare networks, despite concerns of
a decline due to a fall back after demand for upgrades in 2013.
In anticipation of this growth, Fujitsu launched the “Center for the
Future of Medical Care” so that ICT can be used to make the
healthcare field more convenient. Leveraging Fujitsu’s strength of
vertically integrated support, from supercomputers to powerful
healthcare package products and networks, we will pursue safety
and security for all people, from those working in healthcare
through to patients.
Fujitsu’s Strengths
Trust and Performance History Cultivated through
Longstanding Relationships with Customers
Our strength derives from a strong customer base and long-term
relations with those customers cultivated on the basis of trust
and results. Having a good grasp of a customer’s medium-term
issues and needs at an early stage enables us to develop rapid
and optimal proposals, which is why we have secured a large
market share in each field. Another strength is our framework for
cooperating with leading local business partners, which under-
pins our ability to provide support over wide areas. Going for-
ward, armed with advanced technological capability and a strong
track record cultivated over many years, we will continue to sup-
port public infrastructure through our comprehensive systems.
