services, leveraging its track record, technology and
expertise in both IT and network fields. Furthermore,
NEC rigorously overhauled business processes
throughout the group, and integrated its core IT
systems for accounting, sales, and purchasing into
a cloud computing environment in order to raise
operational efficiency and reduce operating costs.
The new systems were brought fully online in fiscal
2011. Looking ahead, NEC intends to set up
such systems for its customers by applying the
technologies and expertise it has gained in the
course of implementing and operating its own new
core systems. We also worked hard to create new
business models through collaboration with
customers. For example, we broadly provided
cloud computing services for enterprise systems
combining NEC’s cloud computing-related
technology and customers’ business expertise.
Efforts were also directed at fortifying our business
infrastructure for providing cloud computing and
many other services. We upgraded and expanded
data centers while developing and optimizing
common IT platforms.
(2) Expand Global Business
NEC is targeting overseas sales of ¥1.0 trillion,
and raising the overseas sales ratio to 25% of our
consolidated net sales in fiscal 2013.
In fiscal 2011, NEC reported overseas sales of
¥479.3 billion, representing 15.4% of consolidated
net sales. This was mainly the result of lower sales
from the Carrier Network business, as well as the
deconsolidation of NEC Electronics Corporation
(currently Renesas Electronics Corporation), which
conducts the semiconductor business.
In fiscal 2011, NEC promoted business
development driven by local leadership in line with
the characteristics of its key regions, namely APAC
(Asia Pacific), Greater China, EMEA (Europe, Middle
East, Africa), and North America. These efforts
were led by regional management companies
(regional headquarters) in each region. With the
establishment of a regional headquarters in Latin
America in April 2011, NEC now has “One NEC”
formation in 5 regions.
To accelerate global business expansion,
competence centers were also established to
