「During the consolidated fiscal year, to minimize infection risks for all officers and employees across the group, we implemented company-wide remote working in stages from March 2020 with the cooperation of customers and others. We also thoroughly strengthened hygiene management and moved operations online. While reinforcing these defensive measures, we steadily strengthened our capacity to provide strategic IT consulting services by actively increasing the number of consultants and making 株式会社アークウェイ a consolidated subsidiary, in order to meet strong demand from companies promoting digital transformation, or DX, using advanced IT technologies to enhance their business competitiveness. As a result, business performance remained stronger than in a typical year.」

「Our group has not experienced any material business impact from the spread of COVID-19 at present.

Accordingly, as a short-term measure, we intend to take proactive steps to minimize these effects, including identifying latent needs among existing customers and expanding alliances.」
