## e-SOLUTIONS COMPANY 

The e-Solutions Company supports the public and private sectors with a wide range of services. The diversity of our capabilities can be seen in corpo- rate SI and solutions services, e-government sys- tems for both national and regional governments, “digital media solutions” for the digitization of broadcasting, newspapers and other mass media, and in ASP outsourcing and network integration services. At the heart of our business is “collabo- rative innovation,” close relations with our cus- tomers and business partners in which we draw on our experience as an IT user and develop and support an extensive range of technologies. We are ready for the second phase of the IT revolu- tion and its dynamic integration of information, tele- communications, broadcasting and imaging. 

The Information & Communications Systems is a new segment established in April 2001. It brings together the IT-related businesses of the former Information, Communications & Social Systems segment. 

Consolidated sales in the Information & Com- munications Systems segment were 2% lower year- on-year, at ¥956.7 billion (US$7,193 million). This is largely attributable to continued sluggishness in private sector demand for equipment and sys- tems, the result of the prolonged economic turn- down, and further curtailment of capital expendi- ture. As intensified competition drove prices down, segment operating income declined 59% against the year-earlier period, to ¥9.7 billion (US$73 million).
