Business Details
A membership-based service that provides IT talent and knowledge on a time-share basis through "Shared IT Staff®", supporting mid-sized and small-to-medium enterprises in resolving IT personnel shortages, solving business challenges, and promoting DX. The service employs a quasi-delegation contract and a points-based fee system, offering the core "Information Systems General" service alongside specialized services including "In-house Development", "IT Infrastructure", and "Accounting IT". Reorganized into a single segment from FY2025 (ending December 2025). The business base is concentrated in the greater Tokyo metropolitan area, and M&A and other options are under consideration to expand into regional areas.
