Novel Works was established in 2015 with the goal of creating new social trends and systems with IT.
Our company organize seminars and provide business system construction support in the Kansai area, centered around the workplace platform Kintone by Cybozu. As a result of constantly learning new technologies and giving back to society, we have established ourselves as an expert in the cloud field.

We want to be useful to the world and to the people through our work. We believe in commitment to results and our work does not end when we create a system, but rather, we work together with our customers to create a better system, from proposals to development and consulting.
Despite being a small organization, we operate a wide range of businesses and have started to expand outside of Japan.

In the future, we plan on supporting the introduction of more advanced systems, as well as developing our own products through the use of AWS and other cloud technologies, while also expanding our business overseas.

What type of engineers work at your company? What is their job content?

Our engineers can aspire to be full-stack engineers, with both front-end and back-end skills.
They learn the latest technologies both in languages and IDE, while keeping an eye on trends and pursuing better productivity and efficiency.

Do you plan on using any new technologies in the future?

Combining XR and AI technology, we are developing a concept of “virtual office” with a structure that cannot be realized in real life. Instead of Unity that is traditionally used in this field, we use AWS Sumerian and start developing our own products that incorporate the latest technologies (XR, AI).
