Launching V-CUBE
As being a "heavy user," we propose a service which we feel satisfied.
With this in mind, we will move forward.
V-CUBE started with my designing of websites for companies in my university days. At the time, we not only created websites, but also developed various web-based services. For example, we developed and acquired a patent for a handwritten "message board" on the web. We also developed calendar functions now provided by Google or Yahoo! way before them, and used it in-house. We were such a group of engineers with vast ideas.
Web Conferencing was an idea we came up with upon the establishment of our Los Angeles subsidiary. At the time, we were concerned about how we should communicate with the local staff. We couldn't visit the subsidiary every week, nor could we buy the Video Conferencing system which costed almost JPY10 million. Obviously, we couldn't afford it. If that's the case, why don't we create one ourselves. So we developed a Web Conferencing over internet connection. When we started to use the system out of daily necessity, we found many issues. Couldn't we change that? Isn't this better? We improved the interface and functions, and started marketing "V-CUBE(nice to meet you)" to other companies who had same issues just like we used to for the communication between remote locations.
We use "V-CUBE(nice to meet you)" every day for communication among our staff. This is because we would like everyone to "use" a kind of service which we feel is effective as being heavy user. "Selling" the service is not just our objective.
Still having this in mind, V-CUBE is moving forward. And we would like companies like us back then, as well as major corporations, to use "V-CUBE(nice to meet you)." That's what we think.
