TOKYO, May 11, 2023 – (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) – Fujitsu today announced that it signed an Enterprise Training Agreement (ETA) with ServiceNow, offering Fujitsu Group employees unrestricted access to RiseUp with ServiceNow(1) learning contents and certification to continuously skill up and accelerate their career growth. The contents will be available to Fujitsu Group employees globally starting May 11, 2023.

Fujitsu aims to grow its talent pool of highly skilled certified ServiceNow consultants to over 10,000 by the end of fiscal 2023 to further strengthen its capabilities as a leading global ServiceNow services partner.

The ETA will also enable Fujitsu to further bolster its “Global Strategic Partner Academy”(2) program launched in 2021 by offering global Group employees original RiseUp with ServiceNow learning contents and supporting each employee’s training and upskilling in alignment with individual career development plans.

This initiative represents an important part of Fujitsu’s vision for “Business Applications” to support more sustainable business transformation under Fujitsu Uvance, Fujitsu’s portfolio of global solutions to realize a sustainable world.
