In the first quarter, it solidified its market position as a leading monitoring solution provider.

Recently, it secured a major shipbuilding company as a new customer for EBIGs.

The all-in-one integrated monitoring solution exemONE, launched in April, is also progressing smoothly. With the transition to the cloud, IT infrastructure environments are being reorganized into hybrid environments that combine on-premises systems and cloud systems. There is a clear increase in demand to monitor and manage on-premises, cloud, and infrastructure environments integrally. exemONE has already been adopted by large financial companies and major electronics companies. More than 10 companies and institutions, including key public institutions, educational institutions, and large-scale distribution groups, are reviewing its introduction.

Overseas, in Japan, with the acceleration of digital transformation and worsening IT workforce shortages, service sales including remote DB technical support service SmartDBA are increasing. Recently, a system operation company affiliated with SoftBank was secured as a new customer. In China, it is smoothly continuing its business by securing two new financial institutions as customers.
