          FUJIFILM Holdings (HD) announced on November 5 that it will make Fuji Xerox its wholly owned subsidiary in early November. The company will acquire 25% of Fuji Xerox's shares and its stake in its U.S. affiliates, and pay a total of $2.3 billion (about 253 billion yen) to Xerox. When Xerox fell into financial difficulties, Fujifilm HD announced in 2006 that it would acquire shares in Xerox and aim for a management integration between Xerox and Fuji Xerox. However, shareholders opposed to the acquisition of Xerox filed a lawsuit to stop the acquisition, and a U.S. court ruled to temporarily halt the acquisition, and the newly-elected management team of Xerox announced the cancellation of the acquisition agreement at the shareholders' meeting. As a result of Xerox's cancellation of the agreement, Fujifilm HD had filed a claim for damages, but has now given up on the acquisition of Xerox.

                Wack Data Service (Fujimi City, Saitama Prefecture) is introducing RPA (software robot automation) to improve the work efficiency of its employees. The company is in the process of revamping its production management system, and a huge amount of labor is required to link it with existing systems for ordering and purchasing. The company will decide on the software to be used by the end of September, and will then start full-scale operation over the next six months to a year. The initial investment is expected to be in the range of several hundred thousand yen. If we can connect disparate systems with RPA, we can speed up the time it takes to achieve this. By having RPA replace the routine work of employees, the company hopes to "reduce the amount of overtime and work on holidays for employees, which will lead to a change in work styles.
