DH Group Business

Point1

Large Market Share in the Domestic Game Debugging Market

The domestic game debugging market is an oligopolistic market with few competitors, and within this market we have a large market share. We have various management assets such as debugging know-how accumulated over more than 20 years, a strong customer base, a human resource pool of approximately 8,000 game-loving testers and abundant verification terminals including dedicated debugging equipment. Due to the presence of such management assets, the barriers to entry into the market are high, and we believe that we will be able to maintain a high market share in the future. In addition, our group generates stable cash of more than ¥1.5 billion each year, centered on this game debugging, and we are realizing investment for the next stage of growth.

Point2

Rapid Expansion of the Global Businesses

In addition to debugging services, we also provide one-stop global services that support the overseas expansion of content, such as translating, LQA and marketing support for game software makers. Demand for this global service is rapidly expanding against the backdrop of the recent increase in the global simultaneous development of games. Our group has a new pillar of growth, such as achieving double-digit sales growth in this business by surely capturing these increasing demand.

Point3

Venture spirit of continuing to take on the challenge of creating New Businesses

Since the foundation in 2001 as a company specializing in game debugging, we have taken on the challenge of creating new businesses. We made a full-scale entry into the enterprise field in 2017, and over the past five years, we achieved the rapid growth to reach its net sales of ¥10 billion. Today, in order to expand our AI business, we have developed AI translation engines and invested in AI related company. We have also established a joint venture in India to expand our debugging business in the English-speaking region. In these ways, we are constantly taking on new challenges to create the second and third growth pillars.

Leveraging expertise unique to a specialized QA provider—including shift-left practices—we deliver high-value solutions that enhance quality from the earliest stages of development.

By making maximum use of our strong relationships with software testing experts and other experts who are active on the frontline globally, we are able to cultivate high-skill engineers, including "next-generation QA engineers," who are well versed in both development and testing, respond to the “Shift-Left" and “Shift-Right" domains that are not compliant with conventional third-party verification, and provide services that quickly comply with international standards for software testing. We are the one of the company groups in Japan who has the largest number of engineers who hold qualifications of ISTQB, a certification body for software testing engineers, and we are pursuing to standardize QA quality in the market.
