For 10 years, Red Herring\'s editorial team has diligently surveyed entrepreneurship around the globe.

Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Google, Yahoo, Skype, Netscape, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.

"Choosing the best out of the previous three years was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring.

Red Herring\'s editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list an invaluable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the greatest business opportunities from around the world.

Key Performance Drivers for V-cube
V-cube\'s product \'nice to meet you\' achieved its success in market share growth among many other competitors. The success was attributed mainly to its advantage in product differentiation which enables users to access to their product easily via internet from anywhere in the world without installing special software, or from mobile appliances such as video phones and iPod. Other specialized applications such as video streaming, one to one sales & support as well as eco-meter (calculates amount of CO2 emission, travelling cost and time saved by using nice to meet you) also gave them a competitive edge to its product. Furthermore, the company\'s ability to customize their solutionsaccording to the customers\' needs provide clients with more efficient and effective usage, smoother work coordination and security system that complies with the company\'s policy..


Factor 1:  Focus on Accessibility
Since the launch of its Web base Conferencing system \'Nice to Meet You\', V-cube has focused on the idea of \'whenever\', \'wherever\', \'whoever\'. Nice to Meet You allows clients to access through internet from any location around the world without installing special software. In 2008, V-cube was the first to have made possible to access from mobile video phones in Japan, which created great flexibility for users to access to meeting virtually from anywhere at any time. Nice to meet you also allows access from iPod, PSP as well as H.323. This H.323 allows connection to most of video conferencing systems, which further expands the use and add values to web conferencing by enhancing coordination with other existing communication tools. Such expanded accessibility allows mobility to the clients in the fast paced business world today and receives broad support from clients.


Factor 2:  Innovative Product lines and Application
V-cube has made sustained effort to expand its product lines to include more specialized applications to provide their clients wider choices to match their diversifying needs. Apart from its core application \'Meeting\', it has enhanced its product line with other focus such as \'Seminar\' which is a webinar application that allows up to 10,000 attendants at the same time and to be used for remote lecture, IR, employee training and so on, \'Sales& Support\' which helps closer, one to one communication with smooth information sharing to increase sales or improve customer care, added with advertisement space on screen, \'Video\' focuses on video uploading and streaming, and \'CMS (contents management system)\' which is a specialized, contents management and e-learning service application.  Furthermore, V-cube offers application \'eco-meter\' which visualize the total amount of CO2 emission, transport expense and time as well as the number of trees saved by using nice to meet you by month or year. Such applications focused on particular usage match the diversified use of web conferencing by customers and such advanced features had created competitive edge to the company in product differentiation.


Factor 3:  Customizability
V-cube caters to the diversified customer needs by providing customization of its Software according to the needs. Many large corporations in Japan have their own security system and variety of usage of web conferencing depending on their business type. Therefore, V-cube provides its clients flexibility of customizing their software to match each business type or even corporate culture and is supported broadly by clients in Japan.


Factor 4: Conclusion
The competition has continued to be intense in the Japanese web conferencing market with the entrance of new vendors and foreign vendors. V-cube, however, through its advanced technology, differentiated product lines, customizability and reseller network, was able to build a strong value proposition to its customers. Furthermore, V-cube has contributed strongly to educate the market regarding the benefit of web conferencing by actively participating at fairs and organizing seminars. Its wide re-seller network also contributed to the success. Based on such advanced accessibility and customizability as well as its marketing efforts, V-cube managed to grow its market share to be a leader in web conferencing, combined SaaS service and Software in 2008 despite the competitive situation in the market.


V-Cube Analyst Quote
"V-Cube\'s \'nice to meet you\' web conferencing solution has a host of advanced features such as mobile phone connectivity, video streaming function and eco meter on top of quality desktop video support and clear VoIP audio, which makes it very compelling. In addition, its high customer acceptance is underscored by our research which shows V-Cube as the market leader in the combined on-premise and SaaS services web conferencing solutions in Japan."                                         
 Nozomi Kono (Ms.) / Research Analyst / Asia Pacific / ICT Practice / Frost & Sullivan

In 2010, V-cube received No.1 Share in the Web Conference Market in Japan for three consecutive years.

We plan to develp our Visual Communication Service and are willing to be a service that all of our clients are satisfied.

According to the Marketing Research that was found  by Seed Planning, Inc., V-cube is the No. 1 in the Web Conference Market for the Year of 2009. For the ASP + SI Type, they were in the share of 19.4% and for the ASP Type, they were in the Market of 23.7% in the market.

Comment from the CEO about being Share No.1 in the Market.

2009 was a year that the Web Conference Market has increased dramatically due to the bad economy and the new type of flues in Japan. I believe that the reason why we could maintain being No.1 was because of our support from our resellers and buisness partners. We are not planning to spoil ourselves just because we are No.1 right now.  We will keep researching and investigating what our customers needs are and being a satisfying service to all of our customers from the Anytime, Anywhere, Anybody.

The Hope we have in this market which is continuing to grow.

According to our knowledge, the style of communication has changed rapidly in the past few years. Staring the iPhone and WiMax, which is combined with High Speed internet LAN Service and Netbook, the style of communication has changed rapidly. Not only in Japan, but however, there has been a need for a commnication that is going globally. In order to increase this market, it all depends on how we can satisfy our customers.

Our Buisness Plan in the future

We will keep maintaining our concept of Anytime, Anywhere, Anybody. We will not change our concept of the easy of use, however, we will keep collaberating with hardware such as mobilr phones and be able to communicate among people in a faster way. 

Also, last year, we have made an regional office in Malasia but plan to increase our market in the Eastern Asian Countries for more global communication. Finally, this year we have started a 24 / 7 support center for all of our customers.We will keep maintaining a high level of service and support to kepp our customers satisfied and happy.
