FPT Advances Chugoku Electric Power Group’s Digital Transformation Through Microsoft 365 Deployment

HANOI, Vietnam--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FPT has signed a landmark agreement to provide Microsoft 365 (M365) licenses to Chugoku Electric Power Group - one of Japan’s ten largest regional power utilities, ranked sixth by electricity sales. This milestone underscores FPT’s leadership in Japan’s technology sector and its pivotal role in driving innovation and advancing the digital transformation of the Hiroshima-headquartered group.

The agreement builds on FPT’s established collaboration with Chugoku Electric Power Group and its core IT subsidiary, ENECOM. Through this partnership, FPT has been contributing expertise in cloud services, application development, and system modernization to advance the Group’s broader digital initiatives.

The M365 licenses will be deployed across employees of the parent company and several subsidiaries within the Chugoku Group. The platform integrates communication tools such as Outlook and Teams, while also enabling application development and robotic process automation (RPA). These capabilities will enhance operational efficiency and support the Group’s transition toward a more agile, digital-first operating model.

"This agreement reflects our commitment to driving innovation and modernization for Chugoku Electric Power Group. As a market leader in Japan, FPT is proud to bring an AI-first approach that accelerates the transformation of legacy systems, enhances productivity, and unlocks new opportunities for growth,” said Do Van Khac, FPT Software SEVP and FPT Japan Chief Executive Officer, FPT Corporation. “By combining advanced AI capabilities with deep expertise in cloud and application modernization, we are enabling Chugoku Electric Power Group to build a more agile, future-ready digital enterprise."

“Chugoku Electric Power Group is promoting digital transformation initiatives aimed at improving productivity and supporting organizational foundations through the use of AI and data,” said Makoto Ayukawa, Chugoku Electric Power Group Head of DX Promotion Project. “Through our collaboration with FPT, we have been able to deploy Microsoft 365 in a planned manner, contributing to improved communication and collaboration, as well as the expanded use of digital tools in daily operations.”

“This initiative also serves as part of the foundation for considering future applications of AI and automation. We recognize FPT’s technical expertise in the Microsoft domain, their understanding of our operational environment, and their delivery structure utilizing global resources. As we move forward, we intend to continue working with FPT to steadily promote effective digital transformation,” Makoto Ayukawa added.

Prior to this agreement, FPT had been delivering a range of Microsoft-related services to Chugoku, including the rollout of new solutions, helpdesk operations, and system configuration and deployment. With the addition of license provision, FPT strengthens its position as a comprehensive technology partner, offering end-to-end services across the Microsoft ecosystem.

The project was initially piloted in late 2024. In July 2025, FPT established an Offshore Development Center (ODC) in Da Nang, Vietnam. Within months, the team grew multiple-fold, reflecting strong demand and rapid scaling to support both ongoing operations and future transformation programs.

FPT’s expanding footprint in Japan has positioned Hiroshima as an increasingly attractive destination for its professionals. The strong collaboration with Chugoku Electric Power Group and ENECOM has fostered rapid team growth, creating opportunities for Vietnamese talent to engage in large-scale international digital transformation projects.
