This collaboration with MHI further reinforces our commitment to building trusted relationships with customers in Japan and accelerating their digital business process transformation. We are excited to welcome Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to HIPUS.�
Isao Miyake, Head of the Value Chain Headquarters at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, said, “In our ongoing efforts to enhance procurement activities through a data-driven strategy, we expect that HIPUS� advanced analytics and support will significantly improve procurement operations, facilitate well-informed decision-making, and generate greater value across our organisation.�
Kiyoshi Asami, CEO and Representative Director of HIPUS, added, “MHI has become a key client for HIPUS, receiving a broad spectrum of services. HIPUS is also extending MHI’s services beyond Japan, leveraging Infosys� global reach and its robust sourcing and procurement services.
