Story of WDB Group

Chapter 7 (2015 - 2017) 
It is the world that we challenge beyond borders and territories

Aiming to be a 100 billion yen company

On 6th, July 2015, 30 years passed since the time of the founding. Looking back, the first 10 years were an era of unfavorable in which revenues did not grow as expected. However, many of our most important concepts and systems still in use today were born during this era. The next 10 years were our great leap forward. We started research temp staffing and grew tremendously. The following 10 years were an era of turbulence. While we took the lead in research temp staffing, we sought out other seeds of growth.
What we aim for now is group revenues of 100 billion yen.
We do not believe that this will be achieved easily. Still, we will continue to challenge honestly looking one step ahead.
Just like we've always done. We aim to be a company worth ¥100 billion, and more. This is a new start.

The world as our business stage

Nakano had turned his gaze to the worldwide stage for some time and was looking for opportunities. Another goal the company has set is building a global CRO system.
In 2015, the company established WDB Medical Data in the United States. In addition, in 2017, Oy Medfiles, a company that is the oldest and biggest CRO in Finland, joined the group, marking the start of WDB's business in Europe. We succeeded to grow a CRO business in the United States and Europe in the short term since we have started to build a global CRO system.
Globalization does not stop yet. In 2018, acquired all of the issued shares of "DZS Software Solutions" (currently "Medfiles USA") through "WDB Medical Data". It strengthened the structures of a CRO business in the United States.
At the same time, "Corbridge" became a subsidiary in Japan. With the availability of DMAH (appointed manufacturer and distributor) services and MF (generic drug substance registration ledger) domestic manager services, overseas companies considering expanding into Japan have also become eligible for transactions.
Japan is not only a business stage. Also, we expand our business into not only one country. In a way, everything in the world is a business stage. We will continue to challenge across the national borders.

Creating a new business model in the world

In 2017, for the creation of the new business model, "platform business" launched. This was to realize the service that customers really demand facing the times to change without ceasing.
Nakano was thinking. By the spread of the Internet and the appearance of the smartphone, we enter a turning point as it is said to be a fourth industrial revolution in the times. We cannot possibly survive only by contenting ourselves with the current situation. The time when the world changes suddenly is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity to greatly make rapid progress.
In May 2019, WDB released the platform of human resources dispatches services "doconico". The WDB group began to walk the new way called the platform service.
