About Smart Insight

Smart Insight Corporation develops and sells software for enterprise data utilization. Its main offerings are theエンタープライズAIサーチソリューション "Mµgen" (Mu-gen) and the search tool "SMART/InSight G2". Mµgen is an AI search solution that integrates search, BI, and natural language understanding to analyze scattered internal company data, including structured and unstructured formats. The platform is designed to unify and visualize disparate data sources without altering existing systems, enabling cross-departmental data utilization.

The company originated as a spin-off, established on October 4, 2013, when the SMART/InSight business was separated from Uchida Spectrum Co., Ltd. The original SMART/InSight application was first developed and sold in 2004. On June 30, 2023, Smart Insight Corporation merged with Uchida Yoko Co., Ltd., and now operates as a business division within Uchida Yoko. The company is led by Kiyoshi Machida.

Smart Insight's business model is based on providing its software solutions to primarily B2B clients, including major corporations. Revenue is generated through subscriptions based on the number of concurrent users, which offers a more cost-effective model than per-employee licensing. The company serves clients by helping them implement digital transformation (DX) and enhance their "information value" through better data utilization. The software supports connections to various on-premise and cloud data sources like SharePoint Online, Box, and OneDrive.
