CEO & Chairman
Hiroyuki Kato
Our company’s mission is to “Towards Zero IT Downtime” by monitoring the operation status and signs of failures of IT infrastructure (servers, networks, clouds, etc.). In recent years, evolving IT infrastructure (platforms) have created new digital businesses, and new cloud- and mobile-based transactions and services are appearing one after another. In this environment, security threats that threaten the safety and security of business are increasing year by year, and we believe that our role of “Towards Zero IT Downtime” is becoming increasingly important.
Our company will celebrate its 20th anniversary in October 2022. We would like to thank our stakeholders, including our customers and shareholders, for their support, and will continue to develop further as a company that creates empathy with society and our customers.
IBC’s philosophy and values
Since its founding, IBC has had three management philosophies to move forward together with its customers and constantly grow.
- Through network infrastructure, we will be pleased with our customers.
- Become a professional group with ethics and execution power.
- Become a company that can contribute to society through loving by customers and creating outstanding human resources.
Additionally, we have established the following values as indicators for realizing our philosophy.
- Innovation : Pursuing uniqueness through customer-focused approach
- Business Professionals : An organization that combines ethics, execution, and teamwork
- Challenge : Continue to challenge for success
MISSION VISION
Our company celebrated its 20th anniversary on October 16, 2022.
We have established a new mission and vision to move forward to a new stage with our 30th and 40th anniversaries in mind.
Towards the realization of our mission and vision: The future of IBC
To achieve our mission and vision, we will focus on the following three developments.
- Developments in Technology and Growth Areas
- Utilizing the know-how we have cultivated in predictive detection, information management, and future prediction, we are expanding into the fields of AI and data analytics, combining all kinds of data to prevent IT downtimes.
- In order to develop products and services that meet customer needs, we will continue to convert packaged software into SaaS.
- Developments in DX
- Building on a customer base of over 1,000 companies with successful implementations through the sale of software licenses, we will expand our digital transformation support services (network integration, cloud integration, system integration, and consulting).
- Developments in operational services
- We will further expand the “SAMS” platform, a SaaS model of the System Answer series, and address our customers’ security and cost management challenges.
Our greatest strength is that we develop our own performance monitoring products.
Our flagship product, the “System Answer Series,” was launched in 2008, and in 2017, the third generation, “System Answer G3,” was released. It has been adopted by over 1,000 companies, and has sold licenses to monitor over 18 million items of IT system equipment. The greatest feature of the “System Answer Series” is its multi-vendor compatibility, which supports network-related equipment from over 120 companies. Because it is developed in-house, we are not limited to a specific manufacturer, but can visualize performance information for equipment from a wide range of manufacturers, which is an overwhelming advantage over our competitors.
Going forward, we aim to go beyond “improving the quality of IT system operations” to “improving the quality of our services,” and while promoting sustainable growth, we would like to contribute to society by becoming a unique company that can provide the products and services that our customers want.
We hope that you will continue to patronize IBC Corporation, and we look forward to your continued support and guidance.
To become a company
that creates the future with our customers
IBC is not only continue to innovate technologically, but also remain a company that understands the challenges our customers face and creates value together with them. This is our mission and unwavering stance.

In a social situation where change and uncertainty continue
Geopolitical risks continue to affect economic activity around the world, and the environment surrounding corporate management remains difficult to predict. Japan also faces challenges such as labor shortages and delays in structural reform, while the spread of digital technology is dramatically changing the nature of industry. For our company, which supports the stable operation of IT infrastructure and networks, these changes in the environment mean not only expanded business opportunities but also the arrival of an era in which we are required to provide more advanced services.
The role that IBC should play
Since our founding, we have grown as a company that supports the foundations of corporate activities through “visualization and stable operation of IT infrastructure.” In recent years, with the advancement of cloud utilization, the acceleration of AI and DX, and the growing demand for cybersecurity, corporate system environments have become even more complex, and ensuring stable system operation has become a top priority for companies from the perspective of business continuity.
Against this backdrop, we will further strengthen the products and services that support the stable operation of IT systems that we have provided to date, and expand our integration business for safe and secure networks, security, and cloud services.In addition, by providing solutions that improve response capabilities against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, we will provide even stronger support than ever before for our customers’ business growth.
Management for sustainable growth
We will continue to focus on a medium- to long-term perspective as we work to strengthen our business foundation and create new value. The trend toward increased capital investment and digital infrastructure renewal will further increase the importance of the network visualization and operations management technologies we provide. We will accurately grasp this market environment and achieve sustainable growth as a company.
To become a company that creates the future with our customers
We not only continue to innovate technologically, but also remain “a company that understands the challenges our customers face and creates value together with them.” This is our mission and unwavering stance at IBC. We will continue to work together as a company to pursue a corporate image that is appropriate for the new era and to become a presence that is needed by society and our customers.
We look forward to your continued support and patronage.

BRANDING
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the company’s founding, the company has reshaped its symbol mark using the “silver ratio,” which has long been considered a divine ratio among Japanese carpenters, based on the concept of “Made in Japan,” reflecting its commitment to domestic production and confidence in the services it provides. The new logo combines the corporate color, IBC green, with the traditional Japanese color, navy blue, to express the pride and passion for eliminating IT system failures, which has remained unchanged since the company’s founding.
