Growth is driven by cloud services and newly categorized GPU infrastructure services. The company is aggressively expanding AI capabilities with plans to deploy approximately 1,100 new NVIDIA B200 GPU units for major Japanese corporate clients. Development for Japan's Government Cloud certification is progressing smoothly, with the goal of obtaining an "A Rating" in the unified government qualification system to enable participation in larger tender projects.
