Why open source
A proven foundation, shaped to your business
We use open-source foundations where they fit, and say so when a different approach suits the project better.
-
Speed
Faster iteration
Start from a working platform instead of a blank repository, so your team sees something real sooner.
-
Quality
Community-tested components
Components used and reviewed by a wide community, rather than code that only one vendor can inspect.
-
Independence
No vendor lock-in
A system you can host, change and move — on Azure, AWS or your own servers — without depending on one supplier.
-
Long term
Customised and maintained
Proven platforms adapted to your workflow, then kept up to date and supported after release.
From choice to long-term support
Choose it where it fits. Maintain it for the long term.
An open-source platform is a starting point, not a finished system. We help you decide whether it fits, adapt it to the way your team works, and look after it once it is live.
-
Choose where it fits
We compare open-source options with your requirements and recommend one — or a different approach — during planning, recording the reasoning in the architecture document.
-
Customise for your workflow
We adapt the platform to how your team works, with every change going through a reviewed pull request and your sign-off after user acceptance testing.
-
Maintain and update
After release, we keep the platform updated and supported through a maintenance and operations engagement, with weekly reports in Japanese and English.
How to get started
From first inquiry to kick-off, in four steps.
Write to us in Japanese or English. A bilingual member of the team replies in the same language.
-
Tell us what you need
Send the contact form or request a callback. A rough idea is enough: what the system should do, who will use it and when you need it.
-
Meet online, under NDA
We sign a non-disclosure agreement first, then walk through your requirements, existing systems and constraints in an online meeting.
-
Receive a proposal and estimate
Scope, team, schedule and the engagement model that fits: contract development, a dedicated lab team, or maintenance and operations.
-
Kick off with your bilingual PM
Your project manager sets up the meeting rhythm, reporting and tools, and the team starts on the first deliverable.

FAQ
Questions we hear first
Why use open source instead of a commercial product?
Open-source foundations bring faster iteration, community-tested components and no vendor lock-in. We recommend them where they fit, and tell you when a different approach suits the project better.
Who maintains the system after release?
We can, through a maintenance and operations engagement. Status reports and documentation stay in Japanese, with weekly reports in both Japanese and English.
Can we work with your team in Japanese?
Yes. Status reports, documentation and QA sign-off can all run in Japanese, with weekly reports in both Japanese and English.
Where will the application be hosted?
On Azure, AWS or your own servers. We set up the deployment pipeline so releases are repeatable, and hand over the documentation with the user manual.
