| | April 20178CIOReviewBreaking Down PSA for the New IT EraBy Jeff Meier, CIO, Fujitsu Network Communications [TYO:6702]A sea change is underway in the IT landscape as a whole--be it productivity applications, communication, mobility, or the practice of data migration to off-premise environments. Particularly, in the last five years, "Digital Transformation" has become the catchphrase driving enterprise decision-making. For instance, enterprise applications such as ERP and BPM were procured and deployed on-premises traditionally. What once fit the demand, no longer does--today everything has ascended to the cloud. With the emergence of a horde of peripheral applications today, organizational infrastructure is rapidly taking shape in the cloud, taking advantage of continuously evolving data sharing needs.Another example is the emergence of smartphones and mobile devices into the enterprise context that has significantly enhanced productivity generating explosive growth in industrial and professional automation. Fujitsu, on its part, deploys a number of corporate programs such as BYOD strategy, virtual client services, managed mobile services, and more where entire turn-key solutions are provided to our employees. When it comes to business operations, Fujitsu has gone through a major transformation through business applications such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software where our project engineers collaborate and coordinate with several external development communities around the world.
