TOKYO, May 12, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - Fujitsu today announced a Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company, to accelerate the digital transformation (DX) of the mobility industry. This collaboration will position Fujitsu as an important player in accelerating DX and expanding business for companies in the mobility industry including automobile manufacturers, insurance providers, and logistics companies.
Enterprises in the mobility space currently face a once in a century paradigm shift. They increasingly require the right digital tools to move from business models based primarily on vehicle delivery to models that provide value through mobility services utilizing vehicle data and offer new value through innovation based on CASE (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, Electric) technologies, which is expected to enable all people to travel safely and comfortably to where they want to go, and to reduce the burden on the environment. To help accelerate this transition, Fujitsu and AWS will collaborate to develop fully managed mobility solutions, offered by Fujitsu through AWS Marketplace (1). This will see Fujitsu combining its Digital Twin and security solutions for the mobility industry with AWS's world-leading cloud services.
Fujitsu will work with the AWS Professional Services Team (2) to help companies in the mobility industry develop and operate new systems, as well as modernize their existing systems. Fujitsu will also boost its own system development capabilities by certifying an additional 750 engineers on AWS.
Collaboration Overview
The collaboration leverages both companies' respective strengths, including Fujitsu's expertise in technologies and system development in the mobility industry, and AWS's breadth and depth of cloud services. The collaboration consists of the following:
1. Development of fully managed mobility solutions
Fujitsu is collaborating with AWS Professional Services Team to develop fully managed solutions centered on Fujitsu's technologies, including the in-vehicle camera image analysis platform, Fujitsu Future Mobility Accelerator Digital Twin Analyzer, the stream data processing platform Fujitsu Future Mobility Accelerator Digital Twin Utilizer, the integrated infrastructure to support the utilization of mobility data FUJITSU Future Mobility Accelerator Digital Twin Collector, and the management center for vehicle security Vehicle-Security Operation Center (V-SOC) to help data utilization and service development for connected cars. These solutions will not only be available directly from Fujitsu, but will also be available through the AWS Marketplace in Japan in October 2021, and globally including in Europe and North America at a future date. Together with AWS, Fujitsu will create use cases, such as data utilization and services for connected cars, and deliver them globally as AWS Connected Mobility Solution (3) templates.
2. Development of systems utilizing AWS services in the mobility industry
Fujitsu will collaborate with AWS Professional Services to help companies in the mobility industry, such as automobile manufacturers, insurance companies, and logistics companies, use AWS services to develop, operate, and modernize systems for mission-critical business and mobility services. Fujitsu will provide this assistance in Japan from June 2021, and will subsequently roll out in global markets including in Europe and North America.
3. Strengthening system development capabilities in the cloud with AWS certifications
Fujitsu will strengthen its system development capabilities in the cloud by training 750 new AWS-certified systems engineers. Reinforcing this capability will enable Fujitsu to deliver systems that promote DX in the mobility industry.
