Mike Foster, Chief Executive Officer of Fujitsu Australia and New Zealand, said: “This year we have assembled a program with a strong focus on digitalisation, which is firmly on the agenda for large enterprise and government organisations. Today’s organisations are continually faced with the challenges of competing and providing excellent service in an ever-changing environment.
