SINGAPORE, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) will recognize Fujitsu Asia Pacific as the recipient of its 2024 B2B Return On Integration (ROI) Honors winner at B2B Summit APAC, happening on October 1, 2024, in Singapore and digitally. The B2B ROI Honors are awarded to an organization that has achieved strong cross-functional alignment to improve company performance. In addition, Forrester will also recognize Autodesk and Red Hat as its B2B Program Of The Year (POY) Award winners for implementing best practices and delivering execution excellence in demand and account-based marketing.

At this year's B2B Summit APAC, award winners will present how they have enhanced operational efficiency, grown revenue, and launched initiatives that maximize customer value.

This year's ROI Honors winner, Fujitsu Asia Pacific, a global leader in digital transformation, overhauled its internal processes to establish marketing as a key contributor to revenue generation, breaking down cross-functional silos and increasing alignment with product and sales teams. 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."
