C-Square is our IT partner and a ‘Market Enabler’

- How did you start working with C-Square?

We first met C-Square in 2002, when Korean government was heavily promoting its IT industry. We launched a program called ‘Market Enabler’ to expand our foreign market channels by tying up with leading local IT companies.

As soon as the program was launched, Negoro director contacted C-Square directly and invited them as our ‘Market Enabler’ for the Japanese market. C-Square had a thorough understanding on what Japanese IT market was demaning and how Korean IT companies do their business. We got a lot of help from C-Square in providing consultation services to Korean IT companies.

- How was C-Square as a ‘Market Enabler’?

As a ‘Market Enabler’ they made a very efficient move. They localized Korean IT products to expand sales channels in Japan, and also customized latest Korean web and mobile services according to the Japanese market.

It was an epoch-making challenge when they succeeded in gathering Japanese investors to establish a joint venture with a Korean listed IT firm.

- What is the background behind entrusting web application development to C-Square?

We are seeking for a company that can thoroughly analyze the source codes made by our previously contracted IT vendor.

Moreover we were in need of an IT partner that can undertake our large scale IT projects such as EIP(Enterprise Information Portal) web application, and business mathcing system.

At the time, Suzuki senior manager who was in charge of selecting IT vendor strongly recommended C-square since they were higly evaluated for their expertise in EIP solutions such as Plumtree, and their vast experience in localizing foreign IT solutions.

- What were some highlights of working with C-Square?

They were simply the best IT vendor we have ever worked with. They always knew what we wanted, and came up with proposals that take both operational efficiency and ease of use into consideration. Moreover, they had the technical capabilities to implement system as requested.

- We would like to further cooperate in various aspects.

Thank you very much.

April, 2012 in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.
