    The comprehensive evaluation for our company in 2017 resulted in "55% satisfied," "36% slightly satisfied" and "9% neither". Although there was no evaluation marked as "dissatisfied" as with the previous fiscal year nor advice given, it resulted in lower evaluation compared to the previous year.

    Regarding the 'price' and 'communication methods' which have been mentioned as tasks to be improved before, we've reviewed our service systems for failure analysis and support service, "VA Quest," and will provide chat support and periodic dispatch of information regarding OSS starting this year. We will take evaluation from customers seriously and aim to provide a service beyond expectations.
