FPT and Hitachi celebrate 10 years of collaboration

Hitachi and FPT have cooperated for 10 years.

Cooperative relationship between the two parties began in 2003 with the contract between FPT Software and HitachiSoft (now Hitachi Solutions), a member company of Hitachi Corp. Three years later, FPT Software surpassed over 300 other companies to become one of 12 strategic partners of HitachiSoft, and the first FPT software center of HitachiSoft was also opened in Hanoi.

On September 13, 2008, the cooperation between Hitachi and FPT was continued to tighten when the second software center called Hitachi Joho - FPT was inaugurated in HCMC. At the opening ceremony, CEO of Hitachi Joho Mr. Hara Iwao stated that FPT Software was listed among this firm’s four important outsourcing partners in June 2007.

FPT and Hitachi signed a landmark agreement to focus on development in the fields of system, finance, industry and platform products and services in November 2012.

Accordingly, the cooperation model of the two sides was also changed from trusted software development to joint research and development of solutions for pressing problems.

After many years of cooperation, Hitachi's sales have increased steadily and accounted for a considerable share in the Japanese market. According to Deputy General Director of FPT Software Nguyen Khai Hoan, the revenue from Hitachi Corp made up 27% of FPT Software’s revenue from the Japanese market.

At the 10th anniversary of cooperation, Hitachi said it would expand cooperation with FPT up to 5 times by 2015.
