FPT and Enecom will collaborate to support Chugoku Electric Power’s digital transformation initiatives by implementing advanced technologies such as Generative AI and Cloud computing. Prior to this agreement, FPT collaborated with Enecom on power generation systems, and in 2023, it helped Chugoku Electric Power implement a Microsoft 365 pilot project, laying the foundation for organization-wide deployment. Leveraging FPT’s global delivery model and experience delivering Enecom and Chugoku Electric Power’s past projects, the three companies are also in discussion to establish a Vietnam-based Offshore Development Center (ODC), aimed at providing cost-effective and scalable IT solutions.  

“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.

As digital technology evolves day by day, we will use it to advance operational and business reforms. With the cooperation of FPT and Enecom, we would like to take on the challenge of automating operations, reducing labor, and ultimately creating new services.”  

Keiji Okabe, President of Enecom, also emphasized the importance of the partnership: “We will work with FPT to understand Chugoku Electric Power’s challenges and needs in promoting digital transformation and providing optimal solutions. With our knowledge of Chugoku Electric Power’s existing operations and systems, we can work with FPT on business solutions that address digital transformation issues.”
