Management Strategy & Integration

What Management Strategy & Integration does

Management Strategy & Integration (株式会社エム．エス．アイ．, "MSI") is a privately held Japanese IT services company incorporated on October 31, 1988 and headquartered in Musashino City, Tokyo. The company is a small, founder-led firm with reported headcount of 15 employees as of April 2002, operating exclusively in the Kanto Region under Representative Director Mikami Kin'ya (三上欽也), who has held the role since June 1989. MSI has no external investors, parent entities, subsidiaries, patents, awards, or public listings documented in available records, and its total paid-in capital stands at ¥3 million (raised from ¥1.2 million in March 1996).

MSI's commercial offering spans four lines: (1) computer hardware and equipment sales, (2) packaged software distribution, (3) computer consulting covering system implementation and operations, and (4) commissioned custom software design and development. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment and software license sales alongside professional services engagements, with no disclosed recurring or subscription pricing model. The company recruits programmers and systems engineers through direct phone inquiries and web application forms, screens candidates via interviews and aptitude tests, and staffs delivery from a single Tokyo-area office.

MSI's named enterprise client base comprises nine Japanese IT services firms — CEC (株式会社シーエーシー), Yamato System Development, Systems Design, Toyo Software Engineering, System Analyze Corporation, Trem, Clare, Coad, and Fusogin Information & Communication — with all go-to-market conducted directly (no channel partners, marketing programs, or international footprint disclosed). The company's website (msif.co.jp) reflects a 2002-era architecture (Shockwave plugin dependency, 2002 copyright), and no post-2002 operating, financial, or product updates are available in the source material.
