Business Details
This segment consists of two fields: design and development of embedded control systems for automotive-related applications (in-vehicle systems, AD/ADAS) and information appliances/mobile devices, etc. (Embedded Field), and business system development, IT system construction, and planning/development of in-house package software products for general corporations, financial institutions, and government agencies (Enterprise Field). It is the core segment accounting for the majority of Group sales, and is positioned as a "Stable Core Business" under the medium-term management plan "PCI-VISION2027," promoting personnel shifts toward high-profitability fields and securing advanced technological capabilities.
Recent Overview
Driven by in-vehicle AD/ADAS projects and government agency projects, achieved full-year sales of ¥14,953 million and a profit margin of 8.7%.
In the full year of FY2026 (ending March 2026), in the Embedded field, demand expanded for ISO26262/AUTOSAR-compliant in-vehicle AD/ADAS software development projects driven by the progress of SDV adoption, and automotive-related business trended steadily. Embedded development projects in communications and control systems also performed well. In the Enterprise field, orders for government agency system development projects and ERP construction projects contributed significantly to earnings. The impact of US tariffs remained minor during the period. The company began utilizing generative AI tools in the development process, working to improve development productivity. The segment profit margin improved from 6.9% in the prior period (6 months) to 8.7%.
