IBC's core business is the development, sales, and support of its proprietary product line "System Answer Series," which monitors IT system operations and detects signs of failures. The company provides operational consulting and system improvement solutions. Through detailed data collection and visualization, IBC helps customers achieve stable system operations and reduce operational costs.

IBC serves a diverse customer base across government, education, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, distribution, and telecommunications sectors, primarily targeting IT departments of corporations and local governments. Revenue comes from software license sales and optional features, as well as service income from implementation support, analysis, and operational support. Additional revenue is generated through managed services and related equipment and software sales.

The business is consolidated under "Software and Services Operations," comprising license sales, optional features such as predictive analytics, log integration, and quality visualization, and service offerings including post-implementation startup support, training, and 24-hour managed services (SAMS). IBC also provides a portfolio of products tailored to customer environments and needs, including cloud-based log management, security diagnostics and protection, and blockchain-based digital certification.

The company aims to maximize enterprise value over the medium to long term by expanding license sales and recurring revenue, centered on its flagship "System Answer Series" as a core growth strategy. Specifically, the company will strengthen its revenue structure through a price revision of "System Answer G3" in 2025, while increasing recurring income through its 24/7/365 monitoring service "SAMS" and CX monitoring options to enhance customer experience. Performance is evaluated based on growth in revenue, gross profit, and operating profit, with emphasis on ROE (return on equity) to ensure sound management.

Key investment areas are product feature enhancements and expansion of integration services, with differentiation based on detailed data collection, visualization, and operational expertise. The company resolves operational challenges through "IBC Care Service," which includes performance evaluation reports and vulnerability management, and leverages over 20 years of accumulated infrastructure analysis expertise through "IBC-Integration" to focus on building highly reliable and available networks and cloud environments. By organizing specialized teams with partner companies, the company enables end-to-end service delivery from design and construction to operational support, differentiating itself through comprehensive solutions rather than standalone products.

For new market development and business expansion, the company deepens its existing customer base across public administration, education, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, distribution, and telecommunications, while focusing on capturing projects targeting cloud migration and multi-cloud environments. The company raises awareness through digital marketing, exhibitions, seminars, and website enhancements, and pursues license sales expansion through cross-selling with implementation support and 24/7 services. Additionally, the company seeks to expand business scale by leveraging integration projects as entry points to drive adoption of the "System Answer Series" and SAMS.

In technological innovation, the company advances AI and data analytics applications. The new service "ITOGUCHI," launched in October 2025, enables automatic visualization of multi-cloud configurations and initial response support during outages, preventing operational dependency and supporting equipment renewal and investment planning optimization based on configuration information. The company combines cloud-based log management, security diagnostics, and digital certificate technologies, and pursues continuous technological innovation and talent development through product and service integration, aiming for stable operations and creation of new added value.
