Even if we&#8217;re okay for the next 2-3 years, will we be okay 5 or 10 years from now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognizing that the source of our competitiveness is not equipment or software but &#8216;people,&#8217; we are advancing discussions on building a foundation to face challenges without postponing them and overcome them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe that postponing challenges that hinder sustainable growth, including the &#8216;2025 Cliff&#8217; and the &#8216;talent shortage wall,&#8217; is reaching its limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We would be grateful if you could reach out to us when considering these challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, in 2026 as well, we will continue to support our customers&#8217; growth through IT system implementation support including ERP and business improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, as we aim to grow not only as a company but also as individuals, we kindly ask for your continued guidance and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Auspicious Day in January 2026Enterprise Business System Solutions Corporation, Yasuo Kiryu Hello, I am Yas [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","info_category":[3],"class_list":["post-184","info","type-info","status-publish","hentry","info_category-information"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>President&#039;s New Year Message | EBSS English<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This is the updates page of E.B.
