Fujitsu Announces the Acquisition of ICS, Aims to Expand APAC Service Capability

Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Thailand Limited announced the acquisition of Innovation Consulting Services (ICS), a Thailand-based SAP consultancy. Fujitsu's capabilities in SAP consulting and managed services in the Asia Pacific region will be strengthened as a result of the acquisition. This is Fujitsu Limited's seventh acquisition since 2021, as part of its programmatic M&A strategy to achieve its ambition of becoming a global leader in Digital Transformation.

ICS, which was founded in 2002, will directly support Fujitsu's portfolio transformation and will strengthen future offerings for "Business Applications," one of seven Key Focus Areas (KFAs) within Fujitsu's global Uvance portfolio.

The acquisition draws on Fujitsu and ICS' shared wealth of SAP experience, expertise and professional track records to enhance competitiveness and strengthen SAP business capabilities in the region. These synergies will make it possible to quickly deliver comprehensive SAP offerings to new customers and further contribute to SAP business by leveraging our respective strengths, as well as to continue providing each company's existing SAP offerings to current customers.
