IBM Japan and Fujitsu unite in collaboration efforts

IBM Japan and Fujitsu have announced plans to extend their collaboration beyond the sectors of AI, cloud technology, and health care. This move comes as both companies aim to accelerate efforts in resolving social issues and improving data utilization across multiple sectors.

The announcement was made at an annual IBM Japan event in Tokyo, with IBM Japan President Akio Yamaguchi stating that they plan to cooperate with Fujitsu wherever it benefits the world. Fujitsu CEO Takahito Tokita spoke at the event, hinting at the potential for significant improvements in data utilization across various sectors.

In the health care sector, poor compatibility with other companies' products has hindered the sharing of electronic medical records and other medical data. The collaboration between IBM Japan and Fujitsu could potentially address this issue, leading to improved data utilization and better patient care.

Akio Yamaguchi's comments suggest a broader scope for the collaboration, indicating a possible expansion of the ongoing partnership between the two companies. The specifics of the collaboration are being worked out, with both parties aiming to conclude an agreement by year-end.

IBM Japan has previously competed with Fujitsu in some fields but is now open to cooperation. The collaboration may involve working together in new sectors beyond AI, cloud technology, and health care, with the ultimate goal of improving data utilization and resolving social issues.

As the details of the collaboration continue to unfold, it is clear that this partnership has the potential to bring about significant changes in various sectors, benefiting both businesses and society as a whole.
