Do you have many business trips as an IT Director? |
 |
As Mitsui Plastics, we have many branch offices. For general
IT duties there is a necessity to visit the branch offices at least once per
quarter, so I do have quite a few business trips. There are times when there is a system component replacement at our headquarter office which I must oversee and can tie me up for an extended period of time, but once complete I have to go on a long business trip to all the branch offices to make up for the delay in my visit. Also, in regards to our business, there are occasions when our customer has an EDI (Electonic Data Interchange) conversion and I must visit their office. |
|
Is that why you chose to register for and use Namikiteru? Or are you using some other service besides Namikiteru? |
|
I use Namikiteru as an addition to the current dialup service
that allows me access from anywhere there is a telephone line. I heard that Namikiteru
especially has (or will have) a large number of access points in Japan and therefore
registered for Namikiteru.
Services I use other than Namikiteru include using a cellular data card and
dialup (different from the Namikiteru service). Otherwise I might access the
internet at hotels. In the case of Namikiteru, the Connection Manager software
automatically obtains the WiFi signal and a popup appears "You have been
connected"
which I really like. |
|
Thank you very much for the kind comments. You pretty much already answered our next question with your answer above, but at what locations do you typically use Namikiteru? |
|
Hmmm… Some places I've used Namikiteru would include various
Washington D.C. and Chicago hotels, as well as LaGuardia Airport in New York. There are times when the signal is weak in the hotel room, but in those cases I go down to the hotel restaurant where the Namikiteru signal is stronger and have a cup of coffee while I finish my work. |
|
How is the service reputation among other employees within your organization? |
|
For the most part, none of the employees contact us if
there are no problems, so I imagine they are all able to use it just fine. There have been a few occasions when someone called us and got as far as "Namikiteru is having trouble…" and then it connects and begins working. |
|
Do you have any demands or messages in regards to Namikiteru? |
|
The (Namikiteru) Connection Manager is convenient but
may be difficult to learn, so an improvement in this area would be appreciated.
Other than that, I'd like to see a continued effort to increase the number of
access points. Some days ago, I was really happy to be able to access Namikiteru at the Barnes & Noble store in White Plains, NY. Keep up the good work! |
Thank you very much Kihara-san!!!
