Japanese conglomerate Hitachi Group recently revealed plans to develop a fresh entity for U.S. based operations, a move that looks to capitalise on the businesses’ digital transformation plans.
Hitachi Digital Services and GlobalLogic are being combined to provide a one-stop shop for digitalisation. The company originally explained the united business would aid internal transformations and help external organisations with their own digital shifts.
The united Hitachi Digital entity is scheduled to launch on 1 April 2027, comprising around 35,000 staff across 27 countries.
Hitachi stated the business can offer extensive expertise in vertical industries and emerging applications of AI including for physical purposes.
Staff are also well-equipped to handle AI data and intelligence, cloud and site reliability engineering, and enterprise systems. Hitachi highlighted “longstanding operational technology and domain knowledge” in the industrial sector.
Jun Abe, EVP and head of the Digital Systems and Services Sector, said Hitachi Digital would drive an evolution of the company into a “global digital services” player which would “work alongside clients throughout their business transformation”.
Hitachi is hoping to feel the benefits of the new unit itself through a so-called “customer zero” strategy, whereby it applies fresh services and knowledge to its own digital transformation.
The company previously stated Hitachi Digital would target businesses operating in the automotive, rail and energy sectors.
