| To reinforce its service management advisory, consulting and delivery services capability |
TOKYO, July 7, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Australia today announced acquisition plans for Asia-Pacific region's largest independent ServiceNow-specialist, Enable Professional Services. This acquisition continues our approach of using M&A as a tool to support Fujitsu's growth ambitions. Prior to this, Fujitsu Australia acquired data and AI-consultancy, Versor, and Microsoft-specialist, oobe. Enable Professional Services will operate as a stand-alone Fujitsu company for the foreseeable future, under the continued leadership of Bruce Hara. It will be re-branded 'Enable, a Fujitsu company'.
With the acquisition of Enable Professional Services, Fujitsu will gain market-leading and award-winning expertise and experience to deliver ServiceNow advisory, consulting, and delivery services for customers across the region. The company's ServiceNow capabilities and digital transformation specialist skills directly support Fujitsu's portfolio transformation and will bolster future offerings for "Business Applications," one of seven Key Focus Areas (KFAs) under Fujitsu's new global Uvance business brand. Enable Professional Services currently operates in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, and India.
Nicholas Fraser, in charge of Strategic Growth & Investments at Fujitsu Limited commented: "M&A helps realize Fujitsu's ambition of becoming a global leading DX services player. We look for opportunities that will help Fujitsu gain differentiation in digital technologies including AI, cybersecurity, or analytics, and build world-class capabilities to engage clients in business transformative discussions. Our investments also accelerate the realization of our Uvance vision. Our planned acquisition of Enable Professional Services represents an important milestone on this journey."

The company was distinguished with four ServiceNow awards this year including Asia Pacific and Japan Elite Partner of the Year 2022, an award it has earned in the past three consecutive years for achieving overall excellence in certifications, customer satisfaction and ServiceNow pipeline growth.
Yoshinami Takahashi, EVP and Vice Head of Global Solution Business Group, Fujitsu Limited commented, "We are very excited by the prospect of welcoming Enable Professional Services to the Fujitsu Group. Enable Professional Services' capabilities in co-creating value in tandem with Fujitsu's service integration expertise and advanced technologies will play an important role in accelerating our strategy for Business Applications.
Fujitsu's vision for Uvance centers on building new possibilities by connecting people, technology and ideas, creating a more sustainable world where anyone can advance their dreams. I am confident that this move will set us on a path to make this vision a reality."

From an industry perspective, this acquisition will accelerate Fujitsu's experience, depth, and customer base in multiple industries including manufacturing, financial services and telecommunications. The acquisition will actively stimulate growth opportunities for Enable Professional Services' current capabilities into both the local and global markets and provide industry-leading differentiation in ServiceNow services for current Fujitsu customers in Asia-Pacific.
