Fujitsu Limited, a global leader in digital transformation, has announced its latest strategic move in the Asia Pacific region with the acquisition of Thailand-based SAP consultancy Innovation Consulting Services (ICS). This acquisition marks Fujitsu’s seventh strategic purchase since 2021, reinforcing its commitment to becoming a global frontrunner in the digital transformation arena.
Founded in 2002, Innovation Consulting Services has carved out a reputation as a top-tier SAP consultancy. This acquisition will significantly bolster Fujitsu’s capabilities in SAP consulting and managed services, propelling the company forward in its quest for digital dominance in the Asia Pacific region.
Fujitsu’s Uvance portfolio, which focuses on seven Key Focus Areas (KFAs), will see a substantial boost in its “Business Applications” sector thanks to this acquisition. Specifically, Fujitsu aims to leverage ICS’s expertise to enhance its presence in cross-industry verticals like Sustainable Manufacturing, Consumer Experience, Trusted Society, and Healthy Living.
Both Fujitsu and ICS share a wealth of SAP experience and a professional track record, making this partnership a natural fit. By combining their strengths, these companies are poised to deliver comprehensive SAP solutions to new clients swiftly while continuing to provide existing SAP services to their loyal customer base.
Graeme Beardsell, CEO of Fujitsu Asia Pacific, expressed his enthusiasm for this strategic move, stating, “I am delighted that Fujitsu is investing in an ASEAN-based technology company, supporting ICS’s business expansion. ICS has highly skilled SAP consultants in Thailand, Singapore, and other ASEAN countries, further cementing Fujitsu’s position in the APAC SAP services market.”
“SAP is a key pillar of our growth strategy and our global KFAs, significantly contributing to our customers’ Digital Transformation (DX) and Sustainability Transformation (SX) journeys,” Beardsell added. “This acquisition will also allow Fujitsu to accelerate the establishment of our Asia Pacific SAP Community of Skills and enhance the capability of our Global Delivery Centres (GDC) in the ASEAN market.”
Fujitsu’s programmatic M&A strategy continues to shape its evolution as a global powerhouse in the digital transformation space. The acquisition of Innovation Consulting Services demonstrates the company’s unwavering commitment to delivering top-notch SAP solutions and furthering its position as a leader in the Asia Pacific region.
