CEO
NEC Asia Pacific
Message from the Head of RHQ
NEC Asia Pacific is expanding business within the 10 nations of ASEAN,
as well as in India and Oceania. The Asia-Pacific market shows strong
growth and in addition to ASEAN economic integration, demand for
infrastructure in Indonesia, India, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Vietnam,
which all face a demographic dividend period, is expected to reach about
¥8 trillion by 2020. NEC Asia-Pacific will focus on the “Solutions for
Society” based on ICT and use the advanced technologies of biometrics,
cyber security, SDN, Big Data analysis, and smart energy to contribute
to the realization of a “Safer City.” We will actively promote the
development of solutions tailored to local needs and the creation of
business models, while taking a leading role in the further growth of
NEC’s global business.
Main Initiatives
In fiscal 2015, we received several orders of large-scale managed
service projects for government agencies and enterprises in Australia
and Singapore. In the area of public safety, we have delivered facial
recognition systems to India, and are taking advantage of our strategic
partnership with INTERPOL in the area of cyber security. Further, in
Singapore, we have developed an inter-agency collaboration system and
have aggressively promoted it to governments in various countries.
In the next fiscal year, we will further expand business in the areas of
safety and security, strategic business fields, as well in healthcare,
smart energy, retail, logistics and transportation, SDN/NFV, and
managed services. As a leading player in the Asia-Pacific region, we are
committed to contribute to the region’s development.
Promote Locally-led Safety Businesses Centered on GSD
NEC has selected the “safety business” as a pillar of its global
growth strategy. In this business, the Global Safety Division
(GSD), established in Singapore in April 2013, is the key to
achieving growth. GSD is set out for product planning and
development, and sales support for the global market. GSD
worked closely with NEC Laboratories Singapore, a research lab
established in September 2013, to create and expand locally
led businesses.
In fiscal 2015, GSD launched the NeoFace solution series,
which was developed and rooted in local needs. We won orders in
new markets including the Middle East and South America. In
fiscal 2016, we will fully expand the safety business by
facilitating the success of our inter-agency collaboration system
as demonstrated in Singapore in 2014, and by accelerating the
horizontal deployment of new solutions that leverage our
partnership with INTERPOL in the area of cyber security.
Accelerating SDN/NFV Solution Deployment with
NetCracker Technology
In preparation for the full-scale commercial deployment of SDN/
NFV by telecom carriers, NEC is actively marketing to domestic
and overseas telecom carriers. In fiscal 2015, to further
accelerate this initiative, we strengthened collaboration with our
subsidiary NetCracker Technology Corp., in development, sales
and marketing in this area, and built a system for global sales
expansion of SDN and NFV.
NetCracker Technology has extensive experience with
Telecom Operations & Management Solutions (TOMS) for global
telecom carriers. It also has development know-how for solutions
(MANO) that perform integrated operations of SDN/NFV.
As a pioneer that provides comprehensive SDN/NFV and
MANO, we will focus on expanding our presence and performance
among global telecom carriers.
