Fujitsu to acquire MF & Associates

Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Australia Limited have announced plans to acquire Australian digital transformation (DX) consultancy MF & Associates. The acquisition will strengthen Fujitsu’s management, technology and cybersecurity consulting capabilities, particularly within the public sector and healthcare industries in Australia.

Founded in 2019, Canberra-based MF & Associates marks Fujitsu’s fifth acquisition since 2021 in the ANZ region, as part of a strategic global M&A plan to strengthen business delivery capabilities in key areas. MF & Associates will complement Fujitsu’s recent acquisitions of Microsoft specialist oobe and cybersecurity firm InPhySec to bolster Fujitsu’s security offerings in Australia.

“Fujitsu continues to invest in exceptional DX companies to accelerate our customers’ success,” said Graeme Beardsell, CEO, Fujitsu Asia Pacific.

“We’re experiencing a growing demand for consulting and cybersecurity capabilities, and we are delighted to welcome MF & Associates’ team of highly experienced consultants to Fujitsu to support our customers’ needs.

“At Fujitsu we aim to digitally transform businesses to drive positive, lasting change for our environment, economies and societies, and MF & Associates’ team of experts will further support us in achieving these goals.”

MF & Associates will operate as a standalone Fujitsu company, retaining its independent identity and all team members. It will be re-branded ‘MF&A, a Fujitsu company’ and will operate under the continued leadership of Mat Franklin, Managing Director, who will report to Stuart Kilduff, CEO, oobe, a Fujitsu Company.
