Hitachi Announces Plans to Integrate GlobalLogic and Hitachi Digital Services to Accelerate Global Growth of Lumada 3.0

Santa Clara, January 28 and Tokyo, January 29, 2026, Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, "Hitachi") today announced that it intends to integrate two of its U.S. subsidiaries, GlobalLogic Inc. ("GlobalLogic") and Hitachi Digital Services LLC ("Hitachi Digital Services") to accelerate the global growth of Lumada 3.0, drive the digitalization of the entire Hitachi Group, and further strengthen the delivery structure of Hitachi’s Digital Systems & Services sector. Lumada 3.0 is the company’s strategic initiative to drive digital transformation by leveraging Hitachi’s digital capabilities, domain knowledge cultivated in mission-critical fields, and extensive global installed base. By combining GlobalLogic and Hitachi Digital Services, Hitachi plans to create a robust digital business organization that offers end-to-end expertise across the digital transformation lifecycle — from strategy planning, design, and development to run operations — and possesses the capabilities to reliably integrate advanced digital technologies, including AI, within large-scale, mission-critical systems.

The operational integration of GlobalLogic and Hitachi Digital Services will be led by Srini Shankar, current President & CEO of GlobalLogic, and is expected to commence in April 2026.

This integration will accelerate market transformation and digital business growth by addressing the technology challenges facing Hitachi Group and its clients, including digital transformation, access to reliable mission-critical systems, and AI implementation.

The strengths of these organizations will be combined, including digital engineering, software development capabilities spanning from chip to cloud, AI application technologies, and mission-critical system integration. Leveraging these capabilities and the domain knowledge Hitachi Group has cultivated in its OT and product areas, the "Customer Zero" approach will drive internal digitalization.

Then, by incorporating these internal achievements, the new organization will contribute to solving complex client challenges in key verticals, including mobility (e.g. automotive and railways), energy, and industrial.

The integrated organization will also help Hitachi to establish a unified AI Factory underpinned by powerful offerings like VelocityAI from GlobalLogic and HARC from Hitachi Digital Services and a strong ecosystem of partners and alliances to enable the development and deployment of AI offerings grounded in real‑world operations, and their seamless implementation and operation in mission-critical fields. Furthermore, by deepening collaboration within the Hitachi Group, the new organization will accelerate the deployment of the next wave of HMAX by Hitachi solutions that bring the power of advanced AI to the world – maximizing outcomes and value for both clients and society.

Through these initiatives, Hitachi will accelerate the growth of Lumada 3.0 and contribute to the realization of the harmonized society aimed for in Hitachi’s Inspire 2027 management plan.
