Corp., while also building a stronger presence in the
field of SDN as a way of helping carriers achieve
greater cost efficiencies using network virtualization
technology. We plan to develop related solutions
capabilities by integrating IT and network
technologies. In SDN, in particular, discussions with
experts฀in฀the฀field฀in฀Europe฀and฀the฀U.S.฀suggest฀
that this concept is now close to mainstream
acceptance. By steadily taking advantage of these
business opportunities, we aim to grow sales in this
domain to approximately ¥800 billion in the fiscal
year ending March 2016.
In the System Platform domain, our focus is on
providing platforms to support “Solutions for
Society” based on the delivery of bundles that
contain all of the specialized terminals, software and
infrastructure services required by corporate users,
including server and storage applications. Higher
cost competitiveness and product quality are
essential to remain globally competitive in this
sector. In addition, the trend is shifting from sales of
discrete products toward the delivery of vertically
integrated solution platforms. We will make NEC
more competitive by driving this transformation. We

Within “Solutions for Society” businesses, our aim
is to generate sales of approximately ¥1,400 billion
in the fiscal year ending March 2016 from operations
in the Public, Enterprise and Smart Energy domains,
which would represent an increase of approximately
¥300 billion from the fiscal year ended March
2013, mainly from smart energy and safety
applications. Going forward, as demand for
advanced social infrastructure continues to grow
worldwide, we will make NEC more competitive
and develop new markets by seeking to integrate
products and technologies within social
infrastructure and smart energy operations with
the NEC Group’s SI and services expertise and a
wide range of customer bases.
In the Telecom Carrier domain, a critical goal is to
steadily seize business opportunities arising from
the changes in business environment facing carriers
due to rapid growth in data traffic and changes in
services and applications as a result of the spread
of smartphones, tablets and other smart devices. In
response, we are expanding in the Telecom
