Key Differentiators
At the Fujitsu event, we saw a few key differentiators from others in the market:
- Development of a Japanese LLM in partnership with Cohere
The development of a large language model (LLM) specific to Japan shows Fujitsu’s capabilities in terms of regionalization and AI sovereignty
- A deliberate pace on AI ambitions
Fujitsu is addressing the AI technologies that it sees as important, with a plan for research to teach the business what is possible and productization to provide the right level of capability to customers
- A services-only focus in North America
Fujitsu providing only services in North America makes sense in terms of directing its efforts into what provides both ROI and growth, but this will all take time to see the benefits. Its consulting-led transformation capabilities include AI/ML (including generative AI), data analytics, cloud modernization, and intelligent ERP systems, leveraging platforms such as SAP, ServiceNow, and Fujitsu’s DI PaaS framework. Fujitsu North America is also focused on key industries, such as the public sector, manufacturing, and retail.
