Transformation from Nihon Unisys to BIPROGY

Contributing to the expansion of customers’ businesses and structural reforms through the formation of Japan’s information society and construction of various systems

For over more than sixty years since providing Japan’s first commercial computers, the BIPROGY Group has contributed to the formation and development of Japan’s domestic information service industry by offering ICT systems and building systems that support society and industry. Identifying the demands of various customers, we continue to meet needs regardless of the age through our provision of business solutions that support industry.

Transforming into a company that creates social value by building business ecosystems that solve social issues

Using the experience and track record built up in the ICT field over the years to form business ecosystems that link customers and partners in various industries who possess diverse strengths, we will develop those into a digital commons—that is, shared assets of society, a system that promotes the creation of a society in which everyone can live happily. We aim to build a unique corporate brand in the industry through BIPROGY, the new company name, and transform the Company into one that creates social value by working to solve social issues with borderless ideas.
