Producing work of impeccable quality is a significant aspect of Japanese craftsmanship. In the Japanese culture, the master artisans are referred to as ‘Takumi,’ who are known to have honed and perfected their skills over years, or perhaps a lifetime, of training. Exemplars of finesse, Takumi are an embodiment of true innovation through perfection, diligence, and most importantly, discipline. Drawing inspiration from this ethos of Japanese artistry, Net One Systems [TYO:7518]—an end-to-end network solutions provider—seeks to deliver excellence: “We want to become the ‘Takumi of the networking world,’” states Totti Murakami, director of product marketing at Net One Systems. As an embodiment of this vision, the company has even designed its corporate logo inspired by a kanji (Japanese logographic character), which means—Takumi.

When Net One Systems was founded in 1988, it was primarily recognized as specialists in the arena of selling routers, switches, and other networking hardware. From the very beginning, Net One Systems was committed to creating a difference in the networking landscape. “We wanted to leverage our ICT expertise and connect people in the business and the society better,” says Murakami. Driven by that mission, today—with three decades of extensive experience—this Tokyo-headquartered network company has earned the spot of one of the most admired companies in the Japanese networking landscape. Its solutions portfolio has also expanded to support every aspect of the ICT platform: the company offers a comprehensive suite of solutions for network management, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and IoT. “We have emerged as a unique network integration expert that combines its own technologies with cutting-edge solutions from multiple vendors to provide enterprises a comprehensive networking solution—extending from verification to introduction and management of the network infrastructure,” expounds Murakami.

Architecting Dynamic Networks

Organizations of all sizes that seek an efficient network makeover today ride on Net One Systems’ coattails to bring more competence and agility to their ICT architecture. Murakami explains, “We have come far ahead of the time when networking functions were limited to a particular hub or a company’s headquarters building.” With the changing market scenario and technological advancement, network architecture has significantly developed. “The potency of a business today is largely dependent on scalable cloud-based technologies,” remarks Murakami. Thus, in tune with the evolving realm of networks, Net One Systems aesthetically crafts an ideal cloud-based network system for today’s enterprises to facilitate seamless and secure communication with high quality, reliable networking system. “We are known for ground-breaking telecommunication networks, like IP/MPLS networks, SDN/NFV for telecom operators, carrier Ethernet, and mobile network infrastructure,” points out Takahisa Kawaguchi, Executive Director, SVP of Corporate Planning & Strategy & President & CEO of Net One Systems Singapore.
