Fujitsu, ISID, and DIPRO will accelerate their collaboration across the entire engineering chain
TOKYO, August 23, 2023: Fujitsu, Information Services International-Dentsu, Ltd. (hereinafter ISID) and DIGITAL PROCESS LTD. (hereinafter DIPRO) today announced a collaboration in the area of engineering chains starting August 23 to deliver product life cycle management (hereinafter PLM) systems for customers in the Japanese manufacturing industry.
Background
In April 2022, Fujitsu, ISID, a subsidiary of Dentsu Group Inc., and Dentsu Inc. started a strategic partnership towards the realisation of customer-oriented transformation aligned with three value chains—the “engineering chain,” “supply chain,” and “demand chain”—to contribute to the continued business growth of client companies and the resolution of environmental and societal issues. As part of this partnership, Fujitsu and ISID announced the launch of a joint project to provide Siemens Digital Industries Software’s (1) product life cycle management (PLM) system “Teamcenter” and will work towards achieving digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing industry in the engineering chain.
DIPRO, a member of the Fujitsu Group, has now joined this joint project, and the three companies have agreed to further strengthen their organisation for providing PLM systems.
About the collaboration
1. Optimal solutions through combined know-how
By combining Fujitsu’s know-how in the introduction of ECM, SCM, and DCM solutions (2), ISID’s capabilities in areas that cover the entire spectrum from ECM consulting to IT solutions, and DIPRO’s expertise in ECM business and IT implementation capabilities cultivated in the automotive industry, the three companies will offer customers optimal solutions based on the introduction of PLM systems with a special focus on “Teamcenter.”
In addition to addressing challenges in the engineering chain, the three companies will further combine their respective solutions to contribute to the resolution of challenges across the supply chain and demand chain.
2. Training of PLM system engineers
Based on their experience with the introduction of “Teamcenter,” the three companies will collaborate in the training of Fujitsu Group engineers. The partners will further form a project team of trained engineers to respond to large-scale introduction projects in a wide range of fields and build an organisation capable of providing high-quality services in a short period of time.
Future Plans
Moving forward, Fujitsu, ISID, and DIPRO will accelerate their collaboration across the entire engineering chain, including the provision of PLM systems, and will further support the promotion of DX in the Japanese manufacturing industry and contribute to the enhancement of international competitiveness by focusing on the coordination between the supply and demand chains. Fujitsu will further continue to promote its vision for “sustainable manufacturing,” one of seven key focus areas under its global business brand Fujitsu Uvance. Under the vision of “Humanology for the Future: Building Beyond with People and Technology,” ISID will support companies, consumers, and society in solving problems through IT solutions created with technological capabilities and human attractiveness. DIPRO will contribute to the sustainable development of manufacturing by supporting customer innovation in manufacturing processes through the practise of “combination of Monozukuri and IT,” “dissemination of software originating in Japan,” and “responsibility for results.”
