Operating income ratio
Fiscal 2013 Performance and Main
Accomplishments
Business segment sales increased 4.7% year on year
to ¥744.4 billion. This increase mainly reflected growth
in hardware and software sales due to large projects.
Operating income improved ¥18.9 billion year on year
to ¥32.7 billion. This improvement was mainly due to
higher sales and structural reforms.
In fiscal 2013, NEC expanded its hardware product
lineup, offering models in its PC server “Express5800
series” with enhanced server integration and
virtualization capabilities, as well as models capable of
operating at room temperatures of 40ºC, contributing
to energy savings at data centers and corporations.
Solid sales of these products enabled NEC’s PC server
“Express5800 series” to achieve the No. 1 share* in the
Japanese market for the 17th consecutive year. In
mainframes, NEC released a successor product
featuring significant improvements in performance and
reductions in power consumption over previous
models. NEC won an order for Sumitomo Mitsui
Banking Corporation’s next core banking system. Sales
of corporate PCs and other products were also steady.
In software, NEC worked to provide system software
such as NEC’s core cloud platform software “WebSAM”
and scale out database software for Big Data
“InfoFrame Elastic Relational Store.” In addition, NEC
bolstered its product lineup in the security domain and
in terms of virtualization.
In enterprise network solutions, NEC delivered a
system฀to฀Kanazawa฀University฀Hospital฀utilizing฀NEC’s฀
own network technology “programmable flow,” based
on its “OpenFlow” technology. This delivery was
important in the context of NEC’s focus on SDN. The
technology has also been deployed as a part of NTT
Communications Corporation’s cloud service platform,
and NEC continues to steadily add to its track record.
NEC also continued to expand and enhance the
functionality฀of฀its฀“UNIVERGE฀PF฀series,”฀which฀also฀
utilizes programmable flow technology, making it
possible to respond to a wider range of users and
business needs.
In other news, the NEC Tokyo 3rd Data Center and
the NEC Kyushu Data Center came online in fiscal
2013, enhancing NEC’s services business.
