Strengths of IWI
Powering Social Reliability Through Mission-Critical IT Infrastructure
We secure and operate core IT infrastructure across payments, securities, and information security, driven by one uncompromising priority: ensuring non-stop operations.
Based on the principles of 24/7 operation and real-time processing, we consistently refine the entire process - from system design and construction to ongoing operations - to evolve the IT infrastructure that underpins societal reliability.
Expertise in Non-Stop Cashless Payment Systems
Since the early days of cashless payments in Japan, we have provided mission-critical payment infrastructure. Today, IWI holds a 73% market share in Front-end Processing (FEP) systems among major Japanese credit card companies (internal research), providing the essential FEP capabilities for network connection and authorization processing that simply cannot be allowed to stop.
We have accumulated design expertise in interconnecting systems with diverse requirements - such as those of issuers, card brands, and merchants - to ensure the stable operation of the entire system.
This expertise enables designs and operations capable of withstanding not only unexpected outages but also sudden spikes in transaction volume, thereby supporting a safe and secure cashless society.
Highly Available IT Infrastructure and Operational Capabilities
For the IT infrastructure that supports society, it is essential to maintain stable operation 24/7 over the long term.
In addition to continuous system monitoring, we manage operations on behalf of our clients, enabling rapid detection and response to anomalies. By entrusting operations to IWI, clients can focus on their core business activities.
Our integrated approach - encompassing infrastructure development, stable operation, and 24-hour support - underpins the high reliability of the IT infrastructure.
High-Speed, Large-Volume Data Communication and Real-Time Analysis Technologies
Our core technology is built on a Complex Event Processing (CEP) engine, which enables the real-time analysis and processing of large volumes of event data.
This technology was refined through our provision of securities systems, which require the immediate capture of numerous events occurring every second, followed by processing and decision-making without delay.
This technology for reliably handling large volumes of event data is also utilized in our in-house information security products, which collect and analyze endpoint operation logs.
Furthermore, our real-time processing technology is applied to fields where instantaneous insights and decision-making are essential, such as IP transmission monitoring and communication flow analysis in the broadcasting industry.
The Value IWI Brings to Society
As digital society continues to evolve, the IT infrastructure that underpins daily life is becoming more vital than ever.
By combining our operational capabilities and expertise in ensuring the stable operation of IT infrastructure with advanced real-time processing technologies, we will create "new bonds of trust" - ones that extend beyond safety and security to help solve complex societal challenges.
