Broad incumbents

• 富士通株式会社 (Fujitsu): Global Science's Core Partner and largest Japanese enterprise IT vendor; the partner-vendor relationship defines the top of Global Science's pipeline, making Fujitsu a strategic incumbent peer.
• 東芝デジタルソリューションズ株式会社: Executive Partner of Global Science since 2023 and a major Japanese enterprise software/infrastructure vendor; alongside Fujitsu, it functions as both a strategic channel and a broader incumbent competing for similar contracts.
• SCSK株式会社: Large Japanese SI (Sumitomo Corp. group) and listed customer of Global Science; competes indirectly through comprehensive managed-services and development offerings while also being a buyer of SES talent.
• 株式会社TIS: Major Japanese SI and listed customer of Global Science; offers a far broader portfolio (consulting, cloud, payments) but shares the same enterprise IT services market and customer overlap.

Direct peers

• 株式会社メンバーズ (Members): Tokyo-listed IT and digital services firm of comparable scale, providing custom development and digital transformation support to large Japanese enterprises across multiple verticals.
• 株式会社ハイマックス (HIMACS): Mid-size Japanese SI focused on financial, distribution and public-sector system development, with a similar white-collar engineer-heavy headcount profile and B2B enterprise sales motion.
• 株式会社コア (Core Corporation): Japanese embedded software and IT services vendor with a long history (founded 1969) serving automotive, industrial and public-sector clients — comparable in both embedded/control depth and traditional SI delivery.
• 株式会社システム情報: Tokyo-based SES and software development firm serving financial, public-sector and enterprise clients with similar headcount scale; competes directly for the same Fujitsu/Toshiba-style vendor pool programs.
• 日本システムウェア株式会社 (NSW): Mid-cap Japanese SI firm delivering embedded/control, enterprise software and infrastructure services to government, manufacturing and logistics customers — closely overlapping Global Science's vertical mix and SES-plus-contract development model.
• 株式会社フォーカスシステムズ: Tokyo-headquartered IT services and SES company of comparable size, offering custom system development and infrastructure services to major Japanese enterprises — a near-direct analogue in customer base, delivery model, and scale.
