Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE:HIT) (TSE:6501), today announced that it has

able to better serve its growing customer base throughout the
African region by continuing to help customers reduce costs, carry
out business innovation initiatives, improve service levels and
deploy new applications and technologies more quickly and
efficiently.

global expansion of the Hitachi, Ltd. Social Innovation Business,
which fuses information technologies – including those from Hitachi
Data Systems – with innovative solutions to improve social
infrastructure. Hitachi, Ltd. has identified South Africa as one of
