Hitachi Systems, Ltd.
Tokyo, July 5, 2012 – Hitachi Systems, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501) announced that it opened a business base for sales in Singapore today. Hitachi Systems has set up the “IT Management Group” within Hitachi Asia Ltd., the Hitachi Group's regional headquarters for Southeast Asia, with the aim of strengthening its ability to offer IT services in Southeast Asia.
The building in which Hitachi Systems' new business base is located
Small and medium-sized Japanese companies, as well as major corporations, are actively advancing overseas as they look to develop their businesses globally. Many Japanese companies are setting up regional head offices and actively developing business from Singapore in particular because of its hub status in the Southeast Asia region and developed transportation and IT infrastructure.
In the past, Hitachi Systems has provided services from Japan to customers developing business operations in Southeast Asia. However, in order to quickly offer more detailed services to meet customers' needs, Hitachi Systems has now itself opened a business base in Singapore. Hitachi Systems will expand sales of the global IT service “GNEXT” in collaboration with other Hitachi Group businesses in Southeast Asia. This service is made up of the cloud-based service “Caliver” in Thailand; the “GNEXT Facility & IT Management Service”, a data center design, construction and operation service; “SuperStream NX”, a cloud-based accounting system provided in cooperation with a Singaporean accounting office; and other services. Hitachi Systems is progressively bolstering the line-up of services offered. Looking ahead, Hitachi Systems will strengthen and expand its business in Southeast Asia, including exploring the establishment of a local subsidiary and business development to local companies.
The Hitachi Group sees emerging markets, including Southeast Asia, as target regions, and is aiming to generate revenues of 200.0 billion yen from the Information & Telecommunication Systems Business in China and Asia by fiscal 2015. The establishment of a new base by Hitachi Systems and other moves will accelerate the Hitachi Group's business development in Southeast Asia.
