IT investment needs are expected to expand over the medium to long term against the backdrop of DX and the spread of generative AI. However, if the company fails to secure and develop human resources or fails to provide added value that meets customer expectations, business growth may be constrained, potentially affecting operating results and financial condition. In response, the company integrated operating companies in April 2025 to establish an integrated service provision structure, and is promoting initiatives under the medium-term management plan "Next 50 Episode III."

The company positions business expansion through M&A as one of its management strategies, but if a business does not proceed as planned due to changes in the market environment or unforeseen circumstances, impairment of goodwill or valuation losses on shares of affiliated companies may occur, potentially affecting operating results and financial condition. In response, the company conducts due diligence by experts, and after acquisition, performs regular monitoring through attendance at board meetings and detailed review of financial results materials.

The company promotes global business primarily in China, Singapore, the United States, and Europe, but global economic conditions, exchange rate fluctuations, legal and regulatory differences, differences in business customs, and political and social changes may affect operating results and financial condition. The Global Management Division appropriately monitors changes in the external environment, and the Group Risk Management Committee confirms risk events and verifies the progress of countermeasures, while working to strengthen governance through regular audits of overseas offices.

Demand for highly specialized personnel in advanced technology fields such as AI, cloud, and cybersecurity is increasing. If recruitment does not proceed as planned or if post-hire development and reskilling are insufficient, this may lead to a decline in competitiveness and loss of business opportunities. In response, the company is promoting new graduate and mid-career hiring both domestically and internationally, continuing technical and human skills training, actively investing in human capital, and promoting measures to improve employee engagement.

The risk of information leakage due to attacks targeting ransomware and supply chains, as well as internal misconduct and human error, is increasing. In the event of an incident, this may result in a decline in social credibility, the occurrence of liability for damages, and an impact on business continuity. In response, the company has established a basic information management policy and privacy policy, set up a CSIRT, regularly conducts cyberattack response drills, has obtained and maintains Privacy Mark and ISO27001 certification, and is strengthening the information management system across the entire supply chain.

AI-related technologies, including generative AI, may transform business processes and business models themselves. A delayed response could lead to a decline in competitiveness and brand value, potentially affecting operating results and financial condition. In response, the company gathers advanced technology information through its AI-specialized consulting division, conducts research on AI agents in its R&D division, works toward obtaining ISO42001 certification, promotes company-wide AI adoption and utilization through the AI Promotion Committee, and conducts AI training for all employees.

In the Application Development and IT Infrastructure business, which accounts for 46.9% of sales, changes in requirements, quality deterioration, or delivery delays may lead to worsening profitability due to additional costs or liability for damages, potentially affecting operating results and financial condition. In response, the company has introduced a quality management system compliant with ISO9001, holds review meetings for large new orders, and conducts risk analysis from the proposal and estimation stage as well as regular QCD reviews by the quality management division.

In the System Management business, which accounts for 39.4% of sales, system failures or delays in providing information due to operational errors may result in liability for damages, potentially affecting operating results and financial condition. There is also a risk of shrinkage in the scale of conventional operational work due to reductions in maintenance costs for existing systems, automation, and cloud migration driven by DX promotion. In response, the company thoroughly implements a double-check system for high-impact operations, promotes tool automation, conducts failure prevention training and on-site inspections by the quality management division, and promotes next-generation operational services utilizing its proprietary ID-VROP.

The company utilizes personnel procurement from partner companies to respond to project needs and flexibly address fluctuations in order volume. However, if order volume increases or decreases sharply due to market changes, difficulties in procuring personnel or failure to achieve timely releases may occur, potentially affecting operating results and financial condition. In response, the company holds regular information exchange sessions and study sessions with partner companies, strengthens collaborative structures with core partners, and works to secure highly skilled technical personnel through support for engineer development in advanced IT technology fields.

Damage from large-scale natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and floods, conflicts and terrorism around the world, and pandemic-level infectious diseases cannot be completely avoided, and if damage exceeding the assumed scale occurs, it may affect operating results and financial condition. In response, the company has established a crisis management manual and BCP, reduced concentration risk by transferring part of head office operations to the San-in BPO Center, promotes telework, and conducts regular drills utilizing a safety confirmation system.
