(2) Expand global business
Expanding global business is an important focus.
In fiscal 2013, NEC is targeting overseas sales of
¥1,000 billion, which is double the amount of
present overseas sales and will account for 25%
of NEC’s consolidated net sales.
We are putting in place a structure for reaching
the goals of the “V2012” plan in order to transform
NEC into a “leading global company” as set forth
in the NEC Group Vision 2017. To this end, we will
establish a global network centered on these five
regions by establishing core regional management
companies in each of the following regions—
(1) Greater China, (2) Asia Pacific, (3) Europe,
Middle East and Africa, (4) North America, and
(5) Latin America. Through the effective mutual use
of the NEC Group’s assets, including its technologies
and proven expertise built over the years, NEC will
create globally competitive products and services
for customers worldwide.
Revamping of NEC’s Core IT System Into
a Cloud Service Provision Platform
NEC is revamping its core IT system, in order to speed
up business management at the Group level, improve
business efficiency, and reduce system operating costs.
The new accounting system was brought fully online in
April 2010. With regard to the new systems for sales and
purchasing, the current system is being operated in
parallel with the new system in preparation for the planned
start of full-scale operation in October 2010.
The core IT system will integrate and consolidate
accounting, sales and purchasing and other systems that
have so far been owned and operated individually by each
Group company. The new system will provide these
system functions to the entire Group as a “Cloud- oriented” service. The new system will enable NEC to
substantially reduce operating costs previously required for each individual system.
The revamping of NEC’s core system takes full advantage of NEC’s strong technological capabilities in
both IT and networks, its wealth of experience in building open mission critical systems, and its ability to
efficiently operate and manage large-scale systems. This initiative goes beyond simply upgrading an internal
company system. Its significance lies in being a cutting-edge example of the implementation of a large-scale
cloud service platform.
Going forward, NEC will present this new core system to customers as part of its track record in the
implementation, operation and maintenance of large-scale cloud service provision platforms. NEC aims to
establish new service businesses in the core systems field, and expand a wide range of cloud-oriented
service businesses.
