In its keynote session, Fujitsu will discuss how the organization transformed its go-to-market strategy to adopt customer-centric views in campaign planning and revolutionized its approach to revenue operations.

"In today's dynamic business landscape, traditional marketing approaches simply cannot meet the evolving needs of our customers," said Jezmynn Koh, VP of marketing and communications at Fujitsu Asia Pacific. "We recognized the need to align our marketing strategies with our broader digital transformation efforts and to become a strategic driver of revenue growth. By adopting Forrester's frameworks and insights such as the Marketing Capabilities Framework and Buyer Audience Framework, this helped us achieve a powerful integration across functional teams, resulting in a transformative go-to-market strategy that delivers exceptional value to our clients. The Return on Integration award from Forrester's is a tribute to the team's commitment to innovation and our dedication to helping businesses thrive in the digital age."
