Information Processing
In April 2002, to improve production efficiency we established Fujitsu IT Products
Limited, consolidating into one location all our Unix server and storage systems
manufacturing. We exited from the business of small form factor hard disk drives for
desktop PCs and have instead concentrated on hard disk drives for servers, where
value-added is higher and growth prospects are better.
Telecommunications
In the network equipment business, in light of the rapid shift towards IP-based
networking hardware, we exited the PBX business in North America. In the field of
photonics, we streamlined our North American subsidiary and consolidated the
production of advanced-technology products at our Oyama plant. In the mobile area,
we concentrated development and manufacturing of 3G mobile equipment at our Nasu
facility.
Services and Software
We reorganized the consulting & applications and IT infrastructure services businesses
formerly headed by ICL and DMR Consulting in Europe and North America by
establishing two new subsidiaries, Fujitsu Services Holdings PLC and Fujitsu
Consulting Inc., in April 2002. Uniting these companies under the common Fujitsu
brand identity has reinforced their position as part of a global top-quality IT services
provider. Fujitsu’s goal is to provide one-stop solutions to global multinationals while
at the same time providing services carefully tailored to meet the diverse needs of
customers in each country and region.
Our Corporate Direction and Business Strategies

foster long-term customer relationships

primarily with corporations and public

by providing total solutions comprising high-quality products and
services based on superior technology. Most importantly, we continuously strive to
understand the needs of our customers, examining things from their perspectives and
working to maximize satisfaction by extending our “customer focus” to their
