Global IT corporation FPT has teamed up with Chugoku Electric Power, Japanese utility providers, and Enecom, a technology and communication innovator to accelerate Chugoku Electric Power’s digital transformation goals.
The partnership will leverage cutting-edge technologies, including Gen AI and cloud computing, to drive digital transformation initiatives.
Before this, FPT collaborated with Enecom on advanced power generation systems, and in 2023, it enabled a pilot implementation of Microsoft 365 for Chugoku Electric Power, setting the stage for broader organizational adoption.
By utilization of FPT’s global delivery framework and its expertise with past projects involving Enecom and Chugoku Electric Power, discussions are underway to establish an Offshore Development Center (ODC) in Vietnam. This center is expected to deliver scalable and cost-efficient IT solutions to enhance operational capabilities for the Japanese energy sector.
“The energy and utilities sector in Japan is characterized by a strong focus on digital transformation, operational efficiency, and the integration of advanced technologies to enhance service delivery and sustainability. With FPT’s deep domain understanding and a robust global workforce, we will drive impactful innovations for Chugoku Electric Power, to not only achieve its transformative goals but also reinforce its leading position among the country’s largest energy players,” said Do Van Khac, FPT Software Senior Executive Vice President and FPT Japan Chief Executive Officer, FPT Corporation.
