In the recent few years, the term of 'Internet of Things'(IoT) has grown from a topic of discussion in enterprises to actually being rapidly deployed into enterprises, radically changing the IT landscape of how enterprises run their operations and the way they interface with customers. From digital wearables that monitor vital signs of the wearers to RFID sensors placed in liquid soap dispensers to monitor usage, 'IoT' technologies have and will continue to evolve the IT landscape.

However, ‘IoT’ is only part of the story, forward thinking enterprises have been exploring into Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to fully realize its benefits. ‘Smart Machines’ are being built to simulate intelligent behaviour and make well informed decisions with little or no human interventions.

The digital transformation age is upon us, and we can see that in the coming years, advances in both IoT and AI will have a profound impact on jobs, skill and HR strategies etc. in virtually every industry. And with the Singapore's Government unveiling its digital economy strategy for people, firms and Government, it represents an inevitable shift for enterprises to transform themselves.

Our corporate headquarters has outlined its global strategy for Social Innovation in all its group of companies. The aim is to create a truly global organization, aligning innovation with society’s current and future needs. Fundamental to this the Infrastructure platform, in this case IT infrastructure platform specifically to achieve the goal.

To fully embrace Hitachi’s social innovation strategy with IoT and AI technologies for a digital economy, Hitachi Sunway Network Solutions Pte. Ltd. has been renamed to Hitachi Systems Digital Services Pte. Ltd.. The name change signifies our intention and commitment to provide holistic IT infrastructure platform services to our customers as part of their ‘digitalization’ of business operations and way business will be conducted.
