FUJIFILM Business Innovation New Zealand
At FUJIFILM Business Innovation New Zealand, we unlock potential and help Kiwi organisations thrive.
Our history gives us powerful insights into how people, information, and processes connect and flow inside an organisation. We draw on these insights to help improve systems, streamline processes, secure your data, protect your intellectual property, enable collaboration, and build operational resilience. While our name reflects our proud heritage in imaging and document management, today we offer so much more, with a wide range of solutions, services and products that help our customers improve productivity, enhance efficiency, and create enduring value across their whole organisation.
Fujifilm has been a global partner to the healthcare sector since 1936, with a broad portfolio of solutions including healthcare IT, diagnostic imaging, pharmaceuticals, and regenerative medicine. Here in New Zealand, our team at FUJIFILM Business Innovation works with a range of healthcare providers in the public and private sector to build solutions that streamline and automate the processes that underpin day-to-day clinical care and ultimately improve health outcomes. Find out more here.
What sets us apart is our distinctly human-centred approach. We understand that meaningful change starts with people, not technology, so we start by listening, asking questions to understand how your organisation operates and what you need. Then we work with you to shape the right solutions for you, whether that's streamlined workflows that put your people and patients at the centre, or world-class technology, robust security solutions, or better collaboration.
We’re not here to sell one-size-fits-all solutions. We’re here to build lasting partnerships that deliver meaningful change, so we take the time to understand where you've been, meet you where you are now, and help you get where you want to go – all with one goal in mind: helping Kiwis work smarter.
