PB Systems is a company that provides cloud infrastructure and immersive video services for businesses. Its core operations are the "Secure Cloud System Business," which migrates and strengthens corporate core systems to the cloud, and the "Emotional System Business," which creates experiential spaces using proprietary 3D video technology. The company develops and sells hybrid cloud solutions, cybersecurity services, VR devices, video projection services, and operates events.

Primary customers include mid-sized companies with annual revenues of 1-5 billion yen, SaaS providers, public institutions, and major system integrators. Facility operators, museums, and theme parks are also customers of the Emotional System Business. Revenue comes from multiple streams: system design, construction and maintenance services; hardware and software sales; product licenses; and content creation and facility operations income.

The business is divided into specialized segments. The Secure Cloud division comprises three units: "Platform," "Products," and "Customizer." The Platform unit provides implementation and maintenance services using major vendors' virtualization technology, as well as the proprietary comprehensive security service "Cyber Ninpo-cho®." The Products unit sells reporting and data integration solutions (such as Delbai and Kitras). The Customizer unit handles legacy system modernization, business logic development, and database construction. The Emotional System Business offers cylindrical immersive devices MetaWalkers®, location-based projection solutions MetaAnywhere®, along with content creation and metaverse development services.

The company has set a medium- to long-term target of achieving and maintaining a 30% return on equity (ROE) by September 2030. To realize this, it is prioritizing revenue and operating profit growth, along with improved capital efficiency. In May 2025, the company reviewed its key performance indicators and clarified its policy to grow to a market capitalization exceeding 10 billion yen by 2030. It has positioned September 2026 as a "restart for growth" and is strengthening investment and hiring accordingly. In the near term, the company aims to simultaneously strengthen order intake and improve profitability while maintaining a balance between stable cash flow and shareholder returns.

Priority investment areas are the two core pillars: the Secure Cloud Systems business and the Emotional Systems business. On the cloud side, the company is focusing on virtualization technology as its core, promoting hybrid cloud adoption of core systems (combining public and dedicated clouds according to use case) and cybersecurity measures. It differentiates itself through its proprietary comprehensive service "Cyber Ninja Techniques®," which provides coverage from prevention through rapid recovery. The business structure comprises three pillars: platform provision, product sales, and custom development. Concrete initiatives include workforce expansion and training programs such as increased new graduate hiring and deepened engineer education programs.

For new market development, the company has positioned metaverse and experiential video expansion as clear growth strategies. In the Emotional Systems business, it is strengthening solution-based sales leveraging immersive devices such as MetaWalkers® and MetaAnywhere® to address demand in disaster prevention education, regional revitalization, space facility exhibitions, and theme park renovations. The company also plans to expand its sales reach through targeted outreach to major companies and business partners in the Tokyo metropolitan area, as well as cross-selling digital twin and enterprise metaverse solutions to existing cloud customers.

Technology innovation efforts are concentrated on increasing product and service value-add and strengthening engineering capabilities. While deepening existing virtualization and cloud construction technologies, the company will continue development investment in video production, spatial design, and metaverse construction. The strategy aims to increase recurring revenue from product licenses and maintenance and operations. Additionally, through increased hiring of sales engineers and on-site training, the company seeks to develop junior staff into productive contributors and establish a framework capable of delivering consistent high quality from order intake through delivery and maintenance.
