NTT DATA Institute of Management Consulting, Inc. started in April 1991, as the consulting arm of the NTT DATA Corporation to help leading corporations gain competitive advantage by providing a broad knowledge of business issues with a deep understanding of Information Technology. Since then, NTT DATA Institute of Management Consulting, Inc. has been helping clients from both public and private sectors achieve superior value. Thanks to the NTT DATA Corporation's reputation as Japan's top systems integrator, we have been involved in several hundred projects with the nation's largest corporations and various government agencies. We consistently satisfy clients with our commitment to give them the most of their consulting investment and have expanded our range of activities to meet clients' needs for managing ever-faster changes in technology and industry structure. To provide outstanding professional services, we hire talented individuals from top schools and industries and develop them to be highly skilled and motivated consultants. Many consultants have work experience as management consultants, CPAs, or as other professionals in finance, logistics, marketing and IT services. Such diverse backgrounds and skills enable us to handle a wide range of projects. Many of our consultants hold MBA and MS degrees from overseas graduate schools, including The University of Pennsylvania, the University of Chicago, MIT, Stanford University. We have been engaging in consulting and research in the environment, health care, and the compounding factors of an aging society with a declining birthrate --all long-term social issues in Japan. This experience has given us expertise in the Japanese market firmly grounded in knowledge of socioeconomic change.
