Three reasons why UBIC was listed on NASDAQ

① Improving brand power in the United States

"Discovery" is a US litigation system in which many cases are conducted under the supervision of a US subsidiary of an Asian company or a US lawyer.Japanese companies tend to be left to lawyers, and requests from US subsidiaries and lawyers have a strong influence on the selection of discovery support companies.
Therefore, it was essential to improve our brand power in the United States and create an environment where they could think "I want to nominate UBIC as a partner in the legal technology field."

(XNUMX) Role as a discovery support company from Asia

The other is to fulfill our mission as a "discovery support company originating in Asia".Until now, many Asian companies have been handicapped in various aspects such as cost and time in discovery.Due to the low ability of discovery support companies to support Asian languages, it is common for data to be garbled and forced to be redone, or for all files to be translated before narrowing down the data. I was there.Our mission is to fill such a handicap by making full use of our overwhelming technical and support capabilities, and to create a world where Western and Asian companies can compete on an equal footing globally.

③ To become a global company that leads the US discovery industry

The e-discovery market grows on average by 15% every year, and is said to reach 2017 trillion yen after 1 (according to Transparency Market Research).In such a market environment, our in-house developed eDiscovery support system "Lit iView" releases a new version with improved performance once a quarter, and is the only one in the world in Asia. We have developed Predictive Coding® that can analyze languages ​​in-house, and it has been actually used in projects in Japan and South Korea to reduce costs and improve accuracy.With the world's highest level of technology, we will lead the global standard in the discovery industry.
