ISFNET Sets Ambitious Goals for 2030

In an impressive move, ISFNET Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has outlined its new growth strategy with the aim of achieving five significant milestones in the IT services sector by the end of 2030. Led by President Yukiyoshi Watanabe, the company seeks to reaffirm its position as a leading business partner for major SIers, telecom carriers, and IT service providers in Japan.

Vision for Growth

ISFNET's growth strategy prioritizes job security and career development for its engineers. The company believes that each engineer should build a fulfilling career without anxiety about their future. To facilitate this, ISFNET plans to enhance not only its HR practices but also the working environment for its engineers. By fostering a nurturing atmosphere and improving practices, the firm aims to cultivate engineers while boosting its recruitment of experienced professionals to stimulate synergy with younger engineers.

The Five No. 1 Goals

The goals ISFNET is targeting by 2030 focus on key metrics that are critical for establishing its long-term success:
1. Number of IT Infrastructure Engineers as Business Partners: Currently, ISFNET deploys over 2,300 IT infrastructure engineers to various large clients, including major IT service providers and telecom companies. The target is to surpass 2,500 engineers by 2030.
2. Mid to Senior Level IT Infrastructure Engineers: These engineers handle network, cloud systems, security design, and project management. Currently, the total exceeds 150, but ISFNET aims to expand this cohort to over 1,000 through enhanced training and recruitment practices.
3. Number of Business Deals and Deployments: Presently, ISFNET handles approximately 500 business deals annually, deploying engineers to over 10,700 companies. The goal is to become one of the most significant providers in these categories by 2030.
4. Number of Trained IT Infrastructure Engineers: The company supports its engineers in obtaining a range of professional certifications. To bolster engineer quality, ISFNET is committed to expanding its training investments and implementing strategic programs to foster next-generation leaders.
5. Freedom of Work for IT Infrastructure Engineers: A flexible work culture is essential for talent retention and growth. By 2030, ISFNET aims to establish a career model that allows engineers to select their work styles based on their skills, promoting a taste for diverse career pathways both domestically and internationally.

Addressing Skills Shortages

The backdrop of this ambitious strategy lies in the rapid acceleration of digital transformation and the urgent shortage of IT infrastructure talent in Japan and beyond. High-demand engineers often struggle with inadequate opportunities for growth and recognition. ISFNET is determined to tackle this issue as a “human resource cultivation company,” creating a work environment that fosters continuous development and support.

Statement from Leadership

Yukiyoshi Watanabe, the CEO of ISFNET, commented, "We are committed to being a company where engineers can work with peace of mind and grow without limits. By fortifying our engineer numbers, training ratios, and work style preferences, we aim to reflect every engineer's hard work and achievements in equitable rewards and career advancements. Our mission is to provide our engineers with a future filled with hope and security."

ISFNET continuously strives to solidify its industry-leading position in terms of the number of IT infrastructure engineers, developmental opportunities, project deployments, and flexible work arrangements. By the target year of 2030, the company aspires to be a place where both current employees and prospective talent, see it as a utopia to work and grow.

With this ambitious roadmap, ISFNET is setting the stage not just to thrive as a company but also to elevate the digital infrastructure landscape across Japan. As they aspire for further growth in the next five years, the company is laying down the avenues for creating new value and opportunities for development in the tech sector.
