Hitachi Merges GlobalLogic and Hitachi Digital Services Into 35,000-Employee Firm
Two companies in the Hitachi Group will be combined into a single organization, Hitachi Digital, which will operate in 27 countries and focus on artificial intelligence and digital transformation.
Two companies in the Hitachi Group, GlobalLogic and Hitachi Digital Services, will be combined into a single organization called Hitachi Digital. The new entity will have approximately 35,000 employees in 27 countries and aims to combine digital engineering and software development services with artificial intelligence, cloud, data and large-scale systems operation solutions.
By integrating the two structures, the group aims to offer clients a unified portfolio of services covering both software design and development as well as the implementation and operation of digital infrastructure. The goal is to respond to growing demand for digital transformation from companies that want to modernize their operations and use artificial intelligence in their day-to-day activities.
Grouping the two companies under a single name reflects a broader trend in the technology services industry, where providers seek to offer complete solutions, from strategy and engineering to operations, instead of fragmented services. For the Hitachi Group, the reorganization marks a consolidation of its digital business at a time when artificial intelligence and data are becoming priorities for clients across multiple industries.
The new company will also integrate skills related to cloud computing, data management and large-scale systems operation. This combination targets complex projects in which clients need both application development and stable infrastructure, along with its long-term operation.
According to available information, Hitachi Digital will be active in 27 countries, giving it a significant international presence. The workforce size of approximately 35,000 people places the company among the important players in the digital services segment within the Hitachi Group.
The merger of the two companies comes as demand for artificial intelligence-based solutions grows among enterprises in sectors such as industry, finance or the public sector, where system modernization and data utilization are becoming increasingly important. An organization that can deliver both the software component and the infrastructure it runs on can take on projects from start to finish, reducing the number of vendors involved.
Although the available sources do not provide details about the exact integration timeline, leadership structure or any personnel changes, the reorganization suggests a concentration of resources around common directions. For clients, the immediate effect could be a single point of contact for projects that previously involved several teams, although such a change depends on how it is implemented.
