CTC is a Japanese partner of numerous multinational IT vendors including Avaya, IBM, Cisco Systems, EMC, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Microsoft, NetApp, Oracle, Symantec and VMware.[1] The company has offices throughout Japan as well as in the United States, Singapore and Malaysia.[2]

The company abbreviation CTC is derived from the company philosophy, "Challenging Tomorrow's Changes". Thus the company is called CTC, especially among computer business in Japan .[3]

History

Itochu (then known as C. Itoh & Co.) set up CTC's predecessor Itochu Data Systems in the early 1970s to sell American computer equipment in Japan. Itochu middle manager Nobuo Hiroi was tapped to head the company and hired a number of outside employees such as Hiro Satake, a former Japan salesman for NCR. He also introduced a merit pay system, which was rare in Japan at the time. In 1983, CTC became a distributor for Sun Microsystems and helped to pioneer workstation-based computing in Japan. Satake became president in 1994 and inked sales relationships with Cisco Systems and Oracle.[4]

In the late 1990s, as Itochu reeled from losses from the Japanese asset price bubble, Itochu president Uichiro Niwa decided to float CTC on the stock market. CTC had its initial public offering in December 1999, and its market capitalization immediately exceeded that of its parent company Itochu; one year later CTC was valued at around $20 billion while Itochu was valued at only $8 billion.[4]

gollark: I suppose that could plausibly result in lyricLy marking down the rest?
gollark: Any other ideas? Or ideas about causes for some of the vaguer ones?
gollark: I can see many possibilities:- someone somehow revoked their 10/10 one- LyricLy decided that the 10/10 one was insincere in some way- LyricLy reassigned it 11/10 or something ridiculous- LyricLy marked it down for some reason (new better one?)- LyricLy accidentally deleted one of the 10/10 ones- LyricLy deleted one of them because it criticized his rule- marking system reevaluated
