2009
Why

International Computers Limited (ICL)
1990
Why
Fujitsu bought an 80% stake in International Computers Limited (ICL), Britain's largest domestic computer maker, in 1990 and took full ownership in 1998.
Impact
ICL gave Fujitsu a large European government and enterprise customer base and recurring outsourcing revenue. It also brought the UK Post Office Horizon system, developed by ICL Pathway in the late 1990s, which became Fujitsu's largest reputational liability.
Outcome
ICL was rebranded Fujitsu Services in 2002 and became the core of Fujitsu's UK and European IT services business.
Fujitsu Limited's Growth & Acquisition Strategy
Fujitsu's growth plan has three parts. First, Uvance: packaged cross-industry and horizontal offerings (sustainability, supply chain, healthcare, finance, hybrid IT, data and AI) whose revenue grew 47% to ~$4.75 billion (JPY 709.3 billion) in FY2025. Second, modernization: moving Japanese customers off legacy mainframes and custom systems before support ends, a business that grew 24% to ~$1.67 billion (JPY 249.7 billion). Third, AI and computing, including the Kozuchi AI platform, Takane large language model work with Cohere, and quantum and HPC research. Portfolio pruning continues alongside this, with non-core assets such as Shinko Electric sold.
How Fujitsu Limited Makes Money
Fujitsu is a B2B technology company with three reported segments. Service Solutions (about two-thirds of revenue) covers systems integration, consulting, modernization of legacy mainframe and on-premise systems, cloud and managed services, and the Fujitsu Uvance cross-industry portfolio; it earned ~$15.7 billion (JPY 2,346.9 billion) of revenue in FY2025 at a 15.4% adjusted operating margin. Hardware Solutions sells servers, storage, mainframes and network equipment such as 5G and optical transmission products, mostly to Japanese enterprise, telecom and public-sector customers. Ubiquitous Solutions, the smallest segment, covers PCs and other client devices sold through its stake in Fujitsu Client Computing. Much of the revenue is recurring, coming from multi-year outsourcing, maintenance and operations contracts.
