Of all of the major Japanese conglomerates that have pushed consulting services, Hitachi Consulting (HC) has been the most diligent. Sixteen months ago, Hitachi CEO Kazuo Furukawa claimed that "we will make the Hitachi Consulting brand a global leader in providing IT and business consulting services." The company has backed that declaration by growing to more than 1,800 professionals and $400 million in revenues, with 15% growth and a series of strategic acquisitions.
