Corporate
Profile

[Company strength]
Our company is a pioneer in client-server GIS engine development. We established asynchronous server cooperation via the Internet and developed modules through real-time rendering on Web servers (applied to a snow removal management system for Kitami City). These achievements were made possible by unique technologies that can never be found in any other company. A recent example is our development of offline GIS for Android, which has realized high-speed rendering of GeoTIFF images. We can offer innovative solutions in the GIS field. This is illustrated by our success in the AR field in which we succeeded in displaying map graphics through a camera as augmented reality (AR). 

[Business description]
Our company uses our core GIS technology to develop made-to-order solutions on a consignment basis, mainly for municipalities in Hokkaido. We offer comprehensive services covering all aspects of GIS development, from consulting to analysis, design, proposal, development, delivery, and support. New technologies are constantly developed during these consignment development projects, which allows us to bring about new solutions in the GIS field. 

[Industry]
Software development

[Strength of products/technologies]
The software industry is always changing, and product lifecycles are short. We consider the following products to be our strengths in this field.
Real-time rendering via a Web-based GIS engine.
Offline GIS for Android. (This is not a negation of online GIS, but offline GIS enables users to continue viewing a map at high speed without disruption, regardless of their communication environment.)
Fundamental technology for solving difficult-to-calculate problems that uses a localized self-organization method.
We also possess other technologies that help us to offer solutions to customer map operation issues. 



[Representative's message]
Our GIS system development can currently handle information flow on mobile devices and websites, and meets various needs. We can also support the ArcGIS industry standard, as we have become an Esri Sales Partner. We have been accumulating technology for years, which enables us to provide consultations and proposals for lead time and development cost reductions to users with confidence. We have recently applied mobile GIS to agriculture, and successfully reduced work in the field. We intend to utilize this technology even further.

[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
The technology staff in our organization report directory to the president so that they can provide detailed solutions for our customers. Our staff also provide on-site support whenever necessary.

[Market share/Ranking]
We have gained a large share of the market for municipalities in Hokkaido.
