You’ve spoken about implementing a policy of
selection and concentration, but in order to stay
ahead of global competitors, isn’t it necessary to
increase the competitiveness of each business
segment, as well?
Raising the Competitiveness of Each Business
To a Higher Level
As a global company, it is extremely important for us to be
among the front-runners in each of our product and
business areas. In the services and software business, the
Fujitsu Group ranks number three in the world and number
one in Japan. The major points that distinguish us from the
competition in this field are our world-class human
resources and our systems construction capabilities and
know-how. In our Internet-related services business, we
have enhanced our @Vision Series solutions products. We
are also putting emphasis on web integration services,
which involves providing comprehensive support for every
aspect of business-related Internet usage, from strategic
planning to system design, construction, operation and
maintenance.
In the information processing business, our highly
reliable, high-performance servers continue to hold the top
position in the Japanese market. We have placed special
emphasis on high-end Unix servers, concentrating our
development resources in that area. Furthermore, in the
telecommunications business, in October 2000 we introduced
a 1.76 terabits/sec wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
transmission system—the world’s largest capacity WDM
system—in the North American market. We intend to
maintain our position as a leading player in the global
market by building on our record of success with North
American communications carriers in the synchronous
optical networks (SONET) area as well as our strength in
WDM technology.
In electronic devices, we are putting special attention on
system LSI, or system-on-chip. In designing large-scale,
high-speed system LSI with more than a million gates, we
are able to take advantage of the high-level design
