Global Efforts
To contribute to the expansion of social innovation businesses and to the realization of digital management, we aim to build a digital management platform that will be shared throughout the Hitachi Group. Even as we expand our company scope and portfolio, this shared platform will provide information for growth and keep costs down.
To strengthen global strategy formulation and decision-making, we have established a “Deputy CIO of ITSD for Special Mission” for each role, with three leaders participating.
We have established a Global One Team operation structure, in which IT departments in each region are organized into CoEs#1 by function, to lead global IT.
