Understanding Our Business

This page explains how Cybozu operates, who we serve, how we generate revenue, and our approach to user data. We believe in transparency and want you to understand exactly how our business works.

What Cybozu Does

Cybozu is a Japanese IT company that develops and provides cloud-based business software solutions. Our primary focus is on three core areas:

Team Communication

We provide platforms that enable seamless collaboration and communication within organizations, breaking down silos and improving productivity.

Who Our Services Are For

Our services are designed for organizations that need to improve their internal operations and customer management capabilities:

  • Small and Medium Businesses: Organizations looking for affordable, scalable solutions that can grow with their business.

How We Generate Revenue

Cybozu operates on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model. This means:

Subscription-Based Pricing

Our primary revenue comes from monthly or annual subscription fees paid by customers to access our software platforms. Pricing is typically based on:

  • Number of users/seats
  • Features and functionality required
  • Level of support and service
  • Storage and usage requirements

Additional Revenue Streams

  • Professional Services: Implementation, customization, and consulting services for enterprise customers.
  • Training Programs: Paid training courses and certifications for users and administrators.
  • Premium Support: Enhanced support packages for organizations requiring dedicated assistance.
  • Add-on Features: Additional functionality and integrations beyond standard offerings.

This model aligns our interests with our customers' success – we only succeed when our customers find ongoing value in our products and choose to continue their subscriptions.
