Tokyo, May 30, 2025 - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has announced new measures to strengthen digital transformation (DX) initiatives based on its NEC BluStellar (*1) value creation model. Specifically, NEC will use generative AI to enhance NEC BluStellar and expand its application globally as part of contributing to operational transformations and business expansion for customers in a variety of industries, including the manufacturing, aerospace, financial, telecommunications, and government domains.

In recent years, as AI technology has been advancing, more companies and organizations have begun using generative AI in order to improve productivity. However, these measures have also highlighted the importance of ensuring data security and addressing the growing risk of cyber-attacks. In this fast-changing environment, it is essential to anticipate change and continue to innovate.

NEC has a well-established history of transforming itself and contributing to the transformation of customers and society through advanced technologies. In the consulting domain, for example, NEC is currently collaborating with Miro, the Innovation Workspace, to promote innovative consulting approaches that make full use of AI and is aiming to increase its consulting personnel to 10,000 by FY2025, the largest number in Japan.

In order to further accelerate the business transformation of its customers, NEC will continue to upgrade and expand the "NEC BluStellar Scenario," a value creation scenario that takes a customer's management agenda as its starting point and leads the customer into a brighter future.

1. Expansion of NEC BluStellar Scenario

The expansion of NEC BluStellar will be further accelerated through strategic alliances with global partners such as IFS (*2), a Sweden-based provider of global enterprise software solutions. NEC and IFS will also combine their advanced technologies, solutions and know-how to offer cloud services to a wider range of customers in a broader range of industries.

Moreover, the products, services and experience of NEC's international group companies will be incorporated into NEC BluStellar globally. Specifically, NEC will expand in Europe through collaboration with Switzerland-based Avaloq for financial services, as well as Denmark-based KMD and U.K.-based NEC Software Solutions for government solutions. This is in addition to North American expansion with Netcracker for telecommunications, and Japan-based ABeam Consulting for consulting.

Furthermore, NEC will deploy NEC BluStellar throughout Asia, where market growth is expected to be high and where NEC has strengths that include the retail and transportation industries. NEC will also consolidate global resources and build a delivery system with NEC Corporation India at the core.

2. Advanced NEC BluStellar Scenario with AI

As an additional feature, Agentic AI will be incorporated into NEC BluStellar, thereby expanding support for various industries and business transformations, helping customers to automate their operations and improve value delivery.

Going forward, NEC will continue to transform business models with advanced knowledge across various industries and well-honed cutting-edge technology, leading to solutions to both social issues and business challenges.
