Brief Introduction

Linkage software is committed to the application of emerging technologies in the financial industry, providing customers with consulting, design, development, maintenance and other comprehensive software services.

The company has a strong competitive advantage in the field of financial technology. Since 2004, the company has cooperated with Nomura, the world's top financial service technology provider, to participate in the construction of a large number of important financial core systems and master massive data processing technology. It has gained a good market position and reputation in the field of high-end software development services in Japan's financial industry.

According to statistics, the core business systems of many Japanese enterprises have been used for a long time, which makes their information systems more complex and black box. In particular, financial institutions and large enterprises continue to use the core business systems that have been built for many years, of which 20% have been used for more than 21 years, and up to 60% by 2025. Most of these systems use mainframe or old technology architecture, which has high maintenance cost and slow progress of digital transformation.

Many Japanese enterprises will take 2025 as their goal, hoping to solve the problem of system upgrading by using new technologies; at the same time, they hope to use emerging technologies such as cloud computing to reduce the construction and operation costs of IT systems and the construction period, so as to realize digital transformation. It is expected that the proportion of IT investment in digital transformation by these financial institutions and large enterprises will increase from 10% in 2017 to 40% in 2025.

In China, the company actively promotes the transformation and upgrading of the securities industry. It is a well-known IT supplier in the industry, with more than 80 securities companies and related enterprises including GuotaiJunan, Huatai Securities, China CITIC construction investment, etc.

According to the operating data of securities companies released by China Securities Association, in the past three years, the business income and profit of 131 securities companies in China have been on the decline as a whole.
