Fujitsu and the SAS Institute Japan have established a partnership in the field of Business Analytics (BA), an area in which advanced analyses and projections are formulated from a variety of data.
As part of SAS’ partnership program, Fujitsu will become a reseller partner in Japan and begin to sell and deliver SAS solutions.
As the first step of the agreement, Fujitsu and SAS will work together to develop solution proposals and provide deployment support, with a focus on customers in the manufacturing and retail sectors. This focus will gradually expand to other industries, Fujitsu said.
Going forward, both Fujitsu and SAS Japan plan to strengthen their alliance in the field of Business Analytics and form an even closer strategic partnership together.
Fujitsu in a statement said that up until now, it has offered a wide range of solutions for the field of Business Intelligence or BI, an area in which large volumes of data are collected, converted, manipulated, and employed in business analyses, which are then visualised.
But, under the new partnership, it will now be able to serve BA solutions that go one step further and provide customers with the ability to help customers make the right business decisions based on future projections, and to optimize their business operations.
