Our strength lies in our multilayered security regime, wealth of testing know-how (accrued over 500,000 debugging cases), and a professional workforce centered around 4,000 registered testers. Because our team of testing specialists provides debugging services from the user's point of view (thus, “user debugging”), we have created a confidence-building environment for our clients. We also place a strong emphasis on skill development and education to maximize performance of our testers through our extensive testing knowledge base.

As for mobile relations, our core growth strategy will center on an axis of social networking and smartphones. In the social networking field, the leading platforms in Japan are all heading abroad. In accordance with this trend, DIGITAL Hearts will reinforce its support of foreign social networking application providers that are entering the domestic market. Another trend is that Japanese companies are using platforms like Facebook to reach a global audience—an area for which we plan to develop services. We are in the process of transitioning to smartphones by converting our present mobile site and applications to handle future terminals. Our strategy for amusement relations is focus resources on upstream processes of product development from the current debugging services.
