About Netyear

In the midst of the dot-com excitement, Netyear Group was established in July 1999 as a Japanese subsidiary of the U.S. Netyear Group, Inc., with founders including Satoshi Koike and Fujiyo Ishiguro. The initial focus was on bringing strategic internet professional services to a Japanese market ripe with opportunity. Early in its journey, the company underwent a name change to Netyear Group Corporation in 2000 and began to solidify its presence in the digital marketing space. The first major turning point came in March 2008, when Netyear Group successfully launched its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market. This event provided the capital and visibility to expand its services and market reach. The following years were marked by strategic acquisitions, such as Tribal Media House in 2009, to strengthen its social media marketing capabilities. A significant shift occurred in March 2019 when NTT DATA, a major Japanese IT services company, acquired a 48.52% stake in Netyear through a tender offer, making it the parent company. This move integrated Netyear's specialized digital marketing and user experience (UX) design expertise with NTT DATA's extensive system development capabilities. Today, Netyear operates as a core part of the NTT DATA group, focusing on driving digital transformation for its clients by combining consulting, content creation, and technology solutions.
