Please tell us about your current work.

Currently, as an in-house system engineer, I am mainly engaged in the IT creation, improvement of business systems, and maintenance in the office creation business division. In addition, our new mission is to develop new tools to improve business efficiency, propose new technologies, and organize in-house study sessions on advanced technologies. In addition, we are also working on technological support for launching new businesses.

Please tell us how you got into Interman.

Until a few years ago, I worked as an engineer in a development company of FA control system in Aichi Prefecture, but I had to return to my hometown because of my family's circumstances. When I was thinking about finding a job in my hometown, I had a chance to meet President Uetabira at an overseas exhibition before, and I visited the headquarters of Interman. At this time, I think it was a light feeling like chatting. At that time, Interman was looking for a system engineer, and the talk went on to the ton beat. Because I knew the personality of the president well, I also felt the growth potential of the business, so I decided to join without getting lost. The fact that I also respected my request for “time allowance” is also one of the decisive factors that I wanted to join Interman.

What kind of work did you do before that?

I became interested in computers when I was in elementary school. I decided to become a programmer when I was in junior high school, and then I actually got a job at SIer. As a programmer, I have been involved in the development of hardware as well as software in the past. I also had a wide range of system development experience, such as machine tool control systems and Web-based systems. These experiences are greatly utilized in the technical support and equipment development for launching new businesses currently engaged.

What do you value as an in-house engineer?

For example, even when creating a new tool for internal use, we are also trying to achieve a level of satisfaction that is intended for use by external end users. For that purpose, when hearing the problems and requests that the site has, not only the problems that are manifesting but also “What do we really need to solve?” Sometimes we trace the workflow together, read materials, etc., for mutual understanding with the person in charge. Once you have a solid grasp of the content of your duties, then start developing. Even if it is a tool for the company, we try to identify the needs firmly at the same level as the request from the external client.
