What ODC does

ODC Inc. (株式会社オーディーシー) is a privately held Japanese information processing services company headquartered in Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, founded in 1995 (with operating roots tracing to 1976). The company delivers a diversified portfolio of IT services to Japanese enterprises and government agencies, including custom system development (C/S systems, web systems, RPA solutions using UiPath and Microsoft Power Automate), IT staffing, OA/administrative staffing, IT asset lifecycle management, outbound telemarketing, high-speed data entry, and WordPress-based website production with SEO/MEO optimization. ODC also operates several adjacent subsidiaries — Little Princeton (English-language childcare/preschool), School IE (individualized tutoring across three locations in Kanagawa), and Mikan Therapy Clinic (Shiatsu and oil massage) — which function as both independent revenue streams and CSR-aligned community engagement vehicles.

ODC's technology stack combines legacy and modern enterprise development approaches: object-oriented and structured design methodologies for business application development, .NET 6 C# / ASP.NET Core MVC environments, Windows Server / Oracle Database stacks, and an emerging RPA practice supporting citizen development through Center of Excellence (CoE) and pair programming approaches. The company has cultivated specialized expertise in semiconductor manufacturing systems, including recipe management and factory automation systems deployed at major semiconductor fabs (notably Sony Semiconductor Manufacturing). Its data entry operation achieves approximately 20,000 keystrokes per hour (300 touches/minute, 150 characters/minute) using dedicated systems and trained operators. The company holds Privacy Mark certification (renewed October 2024) and is the recipient of multiple METI Health Management Excellence recognitions.

ODC's business model is a hybrid professional services + managed services structure. The core IT services operate on project-based contracts, supplemented by a specialized dispatch (特定派遣) staffing model in which ODC dispatches its own permanent employees to client sites rather than using registered dispatch workers — this provides continuity beyond Japan's standard 3-year dispatch limit, higher retention, and stronger security practices. The company employs a direct enterprise field sales motion, augmented by channel partnerships with major Japanese system integrators (Fujitsu, Hitachi, NEC, Toshiba, SCSK) who act as both clients and project referral partners. Revenue is generated through project fees, managed service contracts for IT asset management, tuition fees for education businesses, and per-session fees for wellness services. The company maintains a registered capital of ¥50 million and approximately 330 employees as of December 2023.
