Our comprehensive solutions cover commissioned software development for telecommunications and major systems, billing systems, and applications integration. These services encompass everything from proposals, design, and construction to operations and maintenance.   Commissioned software development: We handle orders from large system integrators through government agencies for financial systems, and for the telecommunications node software of mobile carriers. Billing systems: We offer proprietary packages for customer management, billing, and collections. Enterprise application integration, or EAI and business process management: We integrate data and processes by linking disparate systems within and among companies. In fiscal 2008, we performed solidly in commissioned software development for carriers, but we suffered setbacks in cultivating new customers, as corporate information technology spending declined amid the recession. Category sales thereby dropped 16.0%, to ¥13.1 billion.    The operating climate will probably remain adverse in fiscal 2009, and we expect sales to decrease 4.0%, to ¥12.5 billion, despite ongoing commissioned software development orders.
