Advancing to new horizons for the IT industry

In September 2009, seven members of a venture company providing digital transformation support to the manufacturing industry launched a new business focused on digitalizing design processes and automating production processes. Over 15 years of working with a growing number of clients to develop solutions for their specific challenges, we have steadily accumulated trust and achievements. In that time, we have standardized our technical capabilities and optimized our organization into our core competitiveness which enables us to generate close to ¥16 billion in net sales annually. The driving force of our growth is the unique Support for Staffing of IT Personnel that we developed in parallel with Support for digital transformation. Our Ohgi business partner network connects talented IT personnel from some 5,900 IT firms that we have individually visited and recruited as partners since the Company’s beginning. The Group has been steadily growing, but our objective is not simply to continue expanding our business scale. Our “What We Do” statement says we want to “create the Next-Gen of the IT Industry.” Our mission is to use our outstanding IT capabilities to help industries generate sustainable development while also making the IT industry healthier and more attractive. The Ohgi network we created, for example, is helping transform the Japanese IT industry. Japan’s IT industry is pyramid-shaped with contracted work being subsequently passed onto numerous subcontracts. The result is an alarming differential in the value of the contracts as they get passed down from top to bottom. Ideally, we want to flatten the structure so all IT engineers receive fair value for what they create and contribute. I believe that a structure like that will also improve the industry’s overall sustainability.
