Business Activities
-
IoT
IoT stands for the “Internet of things.” Connecting everything to the Net and interactively exchanging information will bring about greater convenience, reduce costs, and boost efficiency. By taking full advantage of our long experience in developing embedded software for use in products such as smart phones and home appliances, we are now carrying out the development, evaluation, and verification of software for IoT devices to be incorporated into on-vehicle electronic systems and a wide range of wearable devices. We are also conducting verification of communication protocols.
-
AI
AI (artificial intelligence) is being introduced into a wide range of life situations, including voice response applications installed in smart phones and camera-based facial recognition systems. We are actively working on developing a variety of applications and software that make full use of AI.
-
Smart Mobility
By introducing connected cars with communication functions built into the vehicle, the smart mobility society aims to reduce the burden of driving and improve comfort, as well as reduce traffic accidents and ease congestion to achieve an environmentally friendly transportation system. We are actively engaged in making the smart mobility concept a reality by developing software designed to be embedded in connected cars.
-
Mobile
For many years, we have been involved in developing software to be incorporated into mobile phones and smart phones. We possess the advanced technologies needed to develop drivers, middleware, and applications, as well as to do evaluation and verification. Through collaboration with the NTT DATA Group and cooperative partnerships with mobile carriers, we are working toward the goal of fostering new developments in areas such as 5G, AI, and drones.
Greeting
Thank you indeed for your visiting our site.
Since our founding in 1979, we have been primarily involved in providing services to the Sharp Group, including developing and verifying embedded software, and building business systems. On the occasion of our new launch as NTT DATA SBC Corporation in January 2017, we set three basic policies and have been working to transform our business structure.
The first is “Establish our strengths.” We reviewed and validated our achievements, experience, and know-how in software development and verification up to the present, and are now taking a fresh look at what constitutes our strengths. We have been involved in embedded software and communication technology for many years, and these are also important fundamental technologies for IoT. By taking advantage of our strengths in these areas, we are pushing ahead to generate new business in fields such as IoT, 5G (5th generation mobile communication systems), and drones.
The second is “Contribute to the Sharp Group.” The Sharp Group will continue to be our most important client in the future. We will strengthen our ability to offer innovative solutions and develop more value-added software than ever before.
The third is “Expand sales to unaffiliated clients.” We will push ahead to acquire new clients by collaborating with the NTT DATA Group and taking up the challenge of expanding into new business areas.
Through a wide range of initiatives based on these three basic policies, our desire is to offer high-quality services to our clients and create new inspiration by connecting to the world.
We look forward to your continued support of NTT DATA SBC Corporation.
