Launch of "HIMOTOKI," a Communication Quality Visualization Solution from User Terminals to Web Services, Starting April 1, 2026

IBC Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and COO: Shigeru Oda; hereinafter 'IBC') will begin providing 'HIMOTOKI,' a solution that visualizes communication quality from the user terminal to the accessed web service from a user's perspective, as a subscription service starting April 1, 2026. ■ Current IT Infrastructure Landscape and Background of HIMOTOKI In recent years, business systems have been composed of multiple linked elements, including clouds, networks, and external SaaS. Consequently, even a minor issue in one area can lead to a state where users experience the system as 'slow' or 'unusable,' easily impacting business operations. Additionally, traditional monitoring cannot immediately identify the location of a problem, often forcing IT departments to retroactively search through multiple elements—such as servers, networks, and clouds—to find the root cause, leading to gaps between the IT department's findings and the actual user experience. HIMOTOKI visualizes the entire flow from 'when the user performs an operation until the accessed web page is displayed' from a user's perspective, enabling root cause identification and rapid response. Amidst the rising need for user-perspective monitoring, our company has released HIMOTOKI as a service that can be easily introduced at a low cost to visualize communication quality. ■ Key Functions and Effects of HIMOTOKI (1) Visualization of Communication Routes (Network Path Function) It clearly visualizes which route communication takes from the terminal to the destination service and where time is being consumed. Users can check response times and communication quality (packet loss, jitter, etc.) for each segment on the communication route, and problems are color-coded, allowing for intuitive identification of the cause of delays. (2) Wireless WiFi Signal Measurement (Wireless Reception Information Monitoring) It visualizes the WiFi reception status of Windows terminals in real time. It is possible to confirm which access point the terminal is connected to and the signal strength. By identifying issues such as insufficient signal or unintended connection to access points, it is possible to quickly isolate the cause of user reports stating, 'WiFi is slow or unstable.' (3) Measurement of Time Until Web Page Display (Page Load Function) It breaks down and visualizes the time required to display a specified web page by URL/content. By executing this from the terminal environment, the user's perceived values can be quantified as they are, leading to early root cause identification. *This function can be used on computers or servers equipped with Windows OS or Linux OS. ■ Enhancing Corporate Value Through the Introduction of HIMOTOKI HIMOTOKI enables the construction of a corporate structure that can quantitatively grasp, explain, and improve 'IT that can be used for business.' This contributes to the sustainable improvement of corporate value through the enhancement of business productivity, the efficiency of IT investment, and the fostering of trust between departments. ■ Service Information Service Name: HIMOTOKI Launch Date: April 1, 2026 Price: From 50,000 yen (excluding tax) per month Format: SaaS (Cloud Service) Product URL: https://system-answer.com/product/himotoki/ [About IBC] Since its establishment in 2002, IBC has specialized in the performance monitoring field, developing and selling IT system performance monitoring tools that grasp the operational status of IT systems and signs of potential failures, as well as providing consulting services.
