Hideaki Inagaki

Amidst the recent major trend of business transformation (DX) using information technology, companies are promoting digitization of conventional business processes while also working to improve business efficiency and reduce costs by integrating and utilizing analog and digital technologies, which has lead to significant changes to conventional business processes and organizations.

We have achieved growth by developing and manufacturing original hardware and software, and by providing services ranging from consulting to system construction, support and maintenance, as well as BPO services that leverage these proprietary technologies and unique products. As a result, we have gained the trust of our customers in the financial, distribution, and public sector sectors, which require high-speed, high-volume processing of information. We are still halfway to our goal of Evolution from Creation, and with a strong desire to push the boundary of what is possible, we will continue to anticipate market and customer needs, create new value, and contribute to our customers' success and society through the evolution of information processing technology and services.

We look forward to your continued support.
