We place importance on human resources and technologies. In order for a company to survive and to develop in the future, we believe that in addition to the company?fs strong profitability, it is essential for our company to establish within ourselves a mechanism to continuously create future values through persistent fostering of ?ghuman resource?h and ?gtechnology.?h To ensure the advantage over competitors, a company must create intellectual assets such as a new technology/business model. That means that it is a ?ghuman resource?h with intelligence that invents and creates a different value from competitors; this is what differentiates one company from another. In other words, I believe, ?ghuman resource?h and ?gtechnology?h that can bring ?gintelligence?h are the most valuable sources for a company. They are the ultimate capital.
We have standardized the way to think of value and we are planning strategies to be shared in-house and implementing them. Specifically we are dealing with renovation of the basic framework of the company, such as evaluation of business model, new personnel system, reforming work style/workplace, development of new corporate system.
IT Frontier is in collaboration with our two shareholders, Mitsubishi Corporation and IBM. Thus, we inherited the strong points of these two companies, namely solution-providing in a global market and knowledge on cutting-edge information technology, respectively. We use these assets to understand and solve our clients problems and the problems of their customers. In order to achieve this, IT Frontier, as an IT management service provider with the ability to develop, implement and operate an Enterprise Resorce Planning system, aims to become a ?gValue-Creating Company that brings out the best of our staff and technology?h by improving the three abilities of communication, value conception, and technical application.
Communication
The communication ability required for understanding clients?f business conditions and the essential issues facing them
Value conception
The ability to pursue the questions of what has value for clients and what should be done to increase their value
Technical application
The ability to provide the most appropriate technology for resolving the issues facing clients and enhancing their business value
