The rapid penetration of the Internet has brought about a new era in IT systems. Now,
processes are distributed among multiple systems that are linked together. Many corporations,
for example, have created integrated information systems, combining a core ERP system forming
with accounting, production control and other built-in functionalities together with SCM and
CRM systems. Having these distinct management systems linked to each other as well as to
suppliers and customers for 24/7 e-commerce requires ever larger and more complex IT
systems. Moreover, higher technical skills are required to handle system changes and capacity
upgrades, as well as to keep the system running smoothly. These factors have placed an
enormous burden on customers.
It was to resolve these issues that we developed TRIOLE, a new IT infrastructure designed to
specifically address the problems of complexity and capacity in a rapidly changing IT
environment. TRIOLE forms a central pillar of our business development this fiscal year. Our
goal with TRIOLE is to present an open-systems construction and operational infrastructure
environment in which we will select the best system components—including products from
other vendors—and offer customers seamlessly integrated systems. Specifically, we are
emphasizing three key points. The first is, based on the external network infrastructure
environment, to ensure that the customer’s internal infrastructure can accommodate linkages to
a full spectrum of systems inside and outside the company, and to enable these systems to be
easily accessed from any terminal, including mobile phones and PDAs. The second is to ensure
efficient and stable operation of systems comprised of multiple components. The third is to
enable speedy system construction and deployment, as well as to ensure that the system can be
easily expanded as a customer’s needs grow. Offering the TRIOLE IT infrastructure and its high
value-added component products will be a major focus of our business initiatives in the current
fiscal year.
