Message from CIO
CIO, and General Manager of the IT Strategy & Digital Integration Division
Vice President and Executive Officer,
Hitachi, Ltd.
Our IT departments are transforming our IT operations to contribute to the global expansion of the Social Innovation Business.
In line with Hitachi Group’s New Management Plan titled “Inspire 2027”, we have formulated a new three-year IT plan to deepen our existing initiatives and accelerate further IT transformation. This plan focuses on strengthening the digital management platform, restructuring IT assets, operations, governance, and resources, and empowering employees. It aims to improve productivity, agility, and risk management, contributing to the realization of superior digital management and operations on a global scale.
In strengthening the digital management platform, we will achieve data-driven management and support swift and accurate decision-making by aggregating business data from across the entire company and using AI#1 to conduct performance and risk prediction simulations.
Furthermore, by advancing the structural reform of IT assets, operations, governance, and resources, we aim to reduce regular IT costs, provide IT services more rapidly, promote carbon neutrality, and further enhance robustness. At the same time, we will transition to a global IT organizational structure and strengthen the collaboration of IT functions to achieve robust governance.
In addition, we will maximize the use of new technologies such as generative AI to improve employee productivity, stepping up our activities from experimental use of advanced technologies to company-wide utilization.
Through these initiatives, we aim to achieve co-creation with our customers and contribute to enhancing their business value.
It is my hope that you find the information within this report useful.
