The Japan Research Institute, Limited

The Japan Research Institute, Limited (JRI) is a comprehensive information services company that seamlessly combines the three functions of systems integration, consulting, and think-tank. With the aim of accomplishing its fundamental corporate mission of working together with its customers in adding new value to their businesses, JRI offers a “three-inone”management approach that enables it to identify issues that need to be addressed, make specific proposals for their solution, and provide full backup support at the implementation and subsequent stages. The other side of JRI’s raison d’être is to engage in “knowledge engineering” activities in which each individual solution helps generate a value-creation chain involving a wide spectrum of economic and social elements.

Since its establishment more than 35 years ago, JRI has been undertaking the planning and design of strategic information systems for its customers, and providing outsourcingservices. In addition to these services, JRI now offers a wide range of other services, including consulting on management strategies for private-sector companies and administrative reform for the government, analyses of the domestic and overseas economies, proposals for government policy-making, and assistance in the incubation of new business ventures.
