Basic policy

Since being established to take on a sales finance functions
for NEC products, we have grown larger while closelycooperating with NEC.
NEC offers solutions integrating ICT and a wide rangeof technology to the national and local governments,
contributing to the enhancement of operational efficiency
and quality of public services. Backed by NEC’s customer
base, we have business relationships with the national
and local governments all over Japan, with 30 sites aroundthe country and registrations with 1,800 municipalities
nationwide as designated applicants. Contracts withpublic offices and municipalities account for over half ofcontracts executed in our leasing business. Our businesssupports social infrastructure itself, ranging from systems
for central government offices, police departments and firedepartments, to systems for local governments, such as
basic resident registers and infrastructure for educational
institutions.
In the spread of COVID-19, there was an urgent need toimprove the ICT environment at schools. The government

thus stepped up its efforts to realize the GIGA School
program ahead of schedule, with the goal of enabling all
schools to provide a computer to each student. Amid themany issues and questions that arose due to the new,large-scale initiative, we supported the early realization ofthe GIGA School program on the financial side by utilizing
our strengths, such as undertaking lifecycle managementfrom the selection and introduction of highly reliable ICT
equipment through to disposal.
In recent years, we have also been utilizing our businessexperience with the national and local governments tocarry out the private finance initiative (PFI) business. In
this business, we assist the outsourcing of public sector
projects, from facility construction through to operation, tothe private sector.
