The epoch-making emergence of a global networked society with the Internet at its core is creating fundamental changes in systems and patterns of social organization throughout the world. Amidst this dynamic environment, the Fujitsu Group is determined to meet the needs and expectations of our customers -- who recognize the true potential of IT as a powerful wellspring of future growth - by providing comprehensive customer-focused solutions. To think like our customers, to work side-by-side with our customers, and to run our business on behalf of our customers -- this is what we mean when we say that customer focus is at the center of Fujitsu's management philosophy.

Business Priorities and Strategy

As the Internet has become an indispensable element of the social infrastructure, we have made clear our commitment to this area by adopting "Everything on the Internet" as the cornerstone of our business strategy. And as evidence of our intention to position Fujitsu as one of the foremost leaders of the Internet Age, we have set for ourselves the goal of capturing leadership positions in three key areas.
