Medium- to Long-Term Management Strategies and Issues the Company Faces

Currently, the world faces various challenges in achieving a sustainable society, including responses to outbreaks of infectious disease, the issue of climate change associated with global warming, food issues due to population increases, and in Japan labor shortages due to the declining birthrate and aging population and natural disasters. As a result, the structure of society and people's lives have also undergone major transformations. In addition, the world is becoming borderless. Many barriers, including nationalities and industries, among other frameworks, are being removed. In this environment, societies and companies face the need to change business models, processes, labor productivity and ways of working to increase management speed and international competitiveness.
Meanwhile, on the technology front, major waves of transformation are arriving including the advance of digital technologies such as CAMBRIC and increasingly fast and advanced network technologies typified by 5G. More recently in response to the spread of COVID-19 infections, these waves of transformation have accelerated toward new lifestyles (the new normal).
　
In response to these trends, NESIC has designated the digital domain and the next-generation network domain including 5G as areas of focus in the medium and long term. Additionally, during the period of the previous Medium-term Management Plan (FY2020/3 to FY2022/3), we worked to promote new-normal workstyles utilizing digital technologies and demonstrate the utilization of cutting-edge technologies through co-creation and practical implementation with customers, while also starting to offer some of these achievements as advanced services under the Symphonict brand. In these ways we have made steady progress in preparing for the coming age of "Digital × 5G." Moving forward, we will promote the implementation of these initiatives in society, and looking beyond that will accelerate growth-oriented efforts on the theme of DX × Beyond 5G (Next-generation Networks).

In May 2022, NESIC announced its new Medium-term Management Plan (FY2023/3 to FY2025/3). Through the plan, we will strive to create and enhance customer value by turning the strengths in know-how and expertise obtained through experience in our self-implementation and on-site knowledge NESIC has refined to date into consulting based on expertise and site-specific consulting, and by combining that with our strengths in the implementation and operation phases that have been our business domain to date, namely advanced technological capabilities, reliability and nationwide coverage.
Through this approach, we will evolve our relationships with customers into strategic partners creating new social value together, and by connecting those activities to future business, we will provide further customer value and strengthen our consulting abilities based on expertise. This represents an evolution of NESIC's business model into a recurring model. We will also pursue the development of new customers using consulting as a starting point, and by increasingly accumulating experience and data, we will further enhance our ability to create social and customer value, aiming to establish a cyclical growth model.

In promoting these recurring and cyclical growth models, we will tackle the following three points as priority themes.
①Accelerating Original Value Creation
We will work to enhance practical and site-specific consulting functions as a starting point while strengthening and enhancing a menu of DX services tailored to customer issues and common platform services. We will also promote optimization both in terms of speed and cost as well as providing optimal solutions by working together with customers. In addition, through these activities we will accelerate innovation by co-creation and self-implementation with customers and partners, building a recurring model that leads to new services provided one step ahead of the competition.
②Advancing Solution Capabilities
By combining our site-specific capabilities and expertise accumulated for a wide range of customers from corporations and telecom carriers to government institutions, local municipalities and social infrastructure operators with the ability to build next-generation network infrastructure and capabilities in the creation and provision of digital services, we aim to provide sophisticated services that help solve customer management issues as well as social issues such as climate change action and create sustainable social value.
③Evolve into DX-Native Company
By thoroughly implementing and promoting the utilization of digital technologies and next-generation networks in business activities, we will strive to improve quality, speed, productivity and earning capability, establish these qualities as a reference model, and aim to provide those benefits to customers. At the same time, we will focus on cultivating the human resources responsible for providing these services.

As the framework for executing these strategies, in April 2022 NESIC reorganized into three business domains, namely DX Solutions, Network Solutions and Environmental & Social Solutions.
In the field of DX Solutions, we will expand the recurring business as a strategic partner with customers through advanced site-specific ICT operational services and unique multi-cloud services that utilize our expertise thorough self-implementation.
In the field of Network Solutions, based on the trust we have built through our businesses focused on the development of conventional infrastructure in the telecom carrier business, we leverage our DX expertise to expand the value provided to the operational service and DX service domains. We will also utilize advanced infrastructure development technologies covering everything from base stations to core networks and expertise in DX services in an effort to expand services aimed at solving social issues.
In the field of Environmental & Social Solutions, we will focus on safe, secure and eco-friendly smart urban development leading to regional revitalization by utilizing DX services that leverage a customer base spanning a broad swath of society and the public sphere and business expertise steeped in knowledge of the various services provided. In addition, by implementing digital technologies for the service infrastructure that supports these lifelines, we will work to enhance this infrastructure into something of higher quality and efficiency.
In terms of earnings capability, by using digital technologies and next-generation networks, we will accelerate the long-pursued streamlining of business processes, and we will also target further improvements by enhancing the value proposition of our business activities into solution-oriented services.

NESIC regards human resources as its greatest management resource. We are trying to evolve into a DX-native company and make further improvements to our organizational culture as an attractive company as part of efforts to further enhance employee engagement. To develop a workplace in which each employee is vibrant and positive, we tackle inclusion and diversity, promote health and productivity management and work to maintain and improve a fulfilling workplace environment. In doing so, we support improved wellbeing for employees in physical, mental and social terms, and achieve sound management while contributing to the development of an enriched society.

Reinforcing Compliance and Internal Control

We believe that ensuring compliance is fundamental to all corporate activities and that compliance-oriented management holds the key to our sustainable business activities and business development. The Group, comprised of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, will strive as a whole to participate thoroughly in corporate activities based on corporate ethics and a law-abiding spirit, with priority placed on compliance.
