Specifically, NEC will collaborate with these six companies respectively in three main areas: (1) Development of service platform solutions; (2) Validation of system models; and (3) Expansion of global SI business.
For the development of service platform solutions, NEC will develop solutions with the respective vendor companies that combine the products and system models of each company. For the validation of system models, NEC will strengthen collaborations with the respective companies' middleware products that are incorporated into system models for configuring Service Platform Solutions, and will work together to validate these models. To expand global SI business, NEC and the other IT vendor companies will respectively expand global SI business utilizing Service Platform Solutions, targeting service providers, carriers, and other customers requiring high reliability and a broader range of standardization.
