Fujitsu Business Systems (FJB) offers optimal solutions, developed from our clients' perspective, to carry their business strategies to a successful conclusion. We view FJB solutions as a process of assessing the current status of a corporation's business and operations, exploring the management issues facing it and combining optimal products and software services, accompanied by appropriate consulting, to resolve these issues.
Our total solutions, extending across the range from consulting to system architecture, operations support, maintenance, construction and education, are provided by 3,300 specialists deployed in a nationwide network of 130 locations. With this collective strength behind them, these solutions have been adopted by over 40,000 corporations in the mid-range market comprising small and medium-sized enterprises and the divisions of major corporations. Operating as our customers' "best partner," we offer complete one-stop services throughout the system lifecycle. We will continue our efforts to offer increasingly superior solutions in our "best partner" capacity by continually enhancing our accumulated knowledge and challenging the latest technologies.
With the IT solution market expanding steadily today, competition among corporations is naturally intensifying as well. The challenge for our Group is to find ways to ensure growth and increase profits in this environment.
We formulated our Medium-Term Management Strategy in February 2006 for the three years to fiscal 2008 with "transformation into a corporation that realizes sustainable growth" as its basic principle. Specifically, we have clarified strategies for each of our four focus markets: small and medium-sized enterprises, major corporations, public institutions such as municipal governments, and medical institutions. We are targeting sustainable growth and substantial increase of profitability by thoroughly reinforcing our consulting-based sales and proprietary solutions.
In cosideration of various changes in our business environment and our progress in improving our profit ratio, we recently revised our management target values for the Medium-Term Management Strategy to sales of \170 billion, operating profits of \5.6 billion, ordinary profits of \4.5 billion and net income of \2.4 billion. Although we have limited growth targets to some degree due to intensified competition in the hardware market and other factors, we have upgraded our overall expectations with respect to our targeted profitability. We continue our efforts to achieve these goals through resolute implementation of our strategies.
We have also moved to reinforce our internal control to the highest standards required of today's corporations. We will enhance our corporate value by optimizing our corporate management efficiency, ensuring the reliability of our financial reporting and fulfilling our obligations in the areas of corporate social responsibility and legal compliance by establishing more stable, reliable and efficient management systems.
We ask your continued support and cooperation as we move forward together, continuing our concerted efforts based on the following philosophy:
