What are the greatest strengths that the Fujitsu
Group can draw on as you implement your
strategy for the broadband Internet era?
Close Links among Our Three Core Businesses
Our major strength is the record of reliability and trust that
we have earned by cultivating good relations with numerous
customers over the years and growing together with them.
The expertise that we have developed by offering
comprehensive solutions based on strong technology and
products is our greatest asset. We are gathering together this
expertise as a knowledge management system for the
Fujitsu Group.
In the broadband Internet era, we will continue to
capitalize on these same strengths and concentrate on
increasing the competitiveness of our core Internet-focused
operations in technologies, platforms and services, as well as
further bolstering linkages among each area.
Toward the Era of Broadband Internet
Interview with President Akikusa
The Fujitsu Group seems to be putting
considerable effort into the much-discussed
programming language XML (eXtensible Markup
Language).
XML is a shared language for exchanging such information
as electronic documents and data, not only within a single
company but also between companies and organizations, in
a way that transcends industries and national boundaries.
As a standard platform enabling the seamless distribution of
information, I believe XML will become increasingly
important in the era of broadband Internet. The Fujitsu
Group has been a leader in applying XML to the
development of cutting-edge technologies in all of our
businesses. We have developed XML applications for all
types of advanced systems, such as trade finance EDI. We
also have been proactive in adopting XML within our
organization. We recently started a company-wide project
on XML and are intensively committing resources toward
this effort. We believe that fully exploiting the promise of
XML will allow our customers to expand their Internet
businesses and bring added convenience to people’s lives.
