The 2007 holding of Interop Tokyo, one of the largest network computing events in Asia, is fast approaching.

The theme of this, the 14th holding of the event, is “‘THE Internet:’ Solutions to Accelerate Your Business.” Why this theme? It represents our strong passion for showing you what the Internet is all about. It contains the message that Interop is a place where companies can find solutions to issues that are only available from the “true Internet.”

There is no doubt that Internet is an effective tool for revitalizing business. But it is not enough to just spend money on cool new tools. Doubtless, some readers will have bitter experience investing in business IT that failed to produce results.

To make the right investments, you need to first understand your current situation and your future vision. In this process, professionals can provide vital assistance in helping you find the right answers.

You may already have clear issues in your business process. Or if the issues are not clarified, you may realize that it is necessary to leverage your business systems or increase efficiency to take your business to the next level.

Business issues come in infinite variety. For example, which information system suits your company scale? Why are virtual solutions needed? To what extent should security measures be taken? How should we manage ID/log integration? Or simply, how can we reduce costs by 10%?

This is where Interop Tokyo comes in. Expert companies come together from every genre with one thing in common: the Internet. I am confident that they already have solutions to this bewildering array of issues. And they can propose solutions that are optimal in the true sense, suiting your business category, size and characteristics.

By asking your questions to the professionals of Interop Tokyo 2007, which features more than 300 exhibitors, you can open the door to a new era for your business. Don't miss the chance to find your answer.

We hope to see you at the event. Thank you.
