Building valuable systems, so both the people who use them and the people who run them can be genuinely happy.
The name farspect combines far and spect (to see) — taking into view the landscape that lies beyond the hill is where we begin.
Six Core Practices
From large-project governance and infrastructure design to mission-critical operations and second-brain enablement for licensed professionals — the six domains we have delivered hands-on.
Project Governance (PM · PMO)Project Management
Flagship practice. We have led PM and PMO on major programs including a national TV network's full website replatforming, a top P&C insurer's nationwide agency rollout, and a major food wholesaler's core system replacement.
- Unified progress, quality, and issue control
- Multi-vendor orchestration
- Executive-level reporting
- Program management office operations
System Design & DevelopmentSystem Design & Development
End-to-end delivery from requirements to release across industries — department-store gift system rebuild, financial product platform replacement, EC membership platform new build.
- Requirements & architecture design
- Quality-first design for long-term operations
- Offshore vendor management (India onsite)
Infrastructure Design & BuildInfrastructure
High-availability platforms at finance and telecom grade — from on-premises to public cloud (AWS, IIJ GIO, Sakura, VMware). Deep experience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management (Ansible, Chef, ServerSpec).
- Cluster-based high-availability design
- Infrastructure as code & automated config management
- Finance / telecom-grade design quality
Cloud & AI EnablementCloud & AI
Connecting cutting-edge technology to existing operations — AWS multi-region DR planning, AI-driven routine-work automation, cloud load-balancing and scale-out design.
- Multi-region DR planning
- AI & automation for operational load reduction
- Large-scale cloud migration planning and execution
Mission-Critical OperationsMission-Critical Operations
Our deepest strength. On broadcast, financial core, and department-store mission-critical systems that cannot stop — not even for a second — we have a track record of zero user impact. Operations thinking is embedded at the design stage to defuse future failure points before they occur.
- Mission-critical operations design
- Business continuity planning (BCP) · disaster recovery (DR)
- Incident management & root cause analysis
- Monitoring design & threshold tuning
- Rescheduling under crisis conditions
- Operations thinking embedded from design phase
Not only users — the operators should be happy too.
Experience keeping user impact at zero on systems that cannot stop is the foundation of our operations design.

AI organizes scattered documents into a single box.
Claude Code + Obsidian Document ManagementAI Document Management for Professionals & Knowledge Workers

We combine Claude Code with Obsidian to automatically organize your firm's documents, matter records, minutes, and knowledge so they can be retrieved at any time. From your Mac, ask AI in plain language and pull out exactly what you need. We deploy the same setup we have run internally every day for over a year, tailored to your practice. The interface, shortcuts, and training are designed so even those uncomfortable with computers can start with email-and-web-level skills. For professionals licensed in Japan, a premium AI Statute Search & Amendment Monitoring option is available.

The industries where we have actually delivered. Regulations, processes, and technology stacks are part of our hands-on implementation and operations experience — not surface-level familiarity.
Broadcast
Led the full website replatforming of a national TV network as PM. Delivered multi-region DR, AI-driven automation, and cloud load-balancing in parallel. Availability design hardened in broadcast conditions where downtime is not an option.
Finance (Banking & Insurance)
Delivered market information system replacement at a top-tier bank, cloud platform builds for banks and insurers, and private cloud planning for a P&C insurer — all under strict change management and compliance regimes.
Telecom Carriers
Delivered BCP for a major carrier's billing system and base-station information platform rebuilds. Met original delivery dates through priority re-design and task re-distribution, even under earthquake-disaster conditions.
Department Stores & Retail
Sustained zero user impact on long-running gift and consolidated-procurement systems for a major department store. Reduced chronic incident frequency dramatically on a credit-screening system through root cause analysis.
Manufacturing (Automotive & Electronics)
Japan-market localization of an automotive driver-assistance system, auto-parts production-management platform replacement, and system migration for an electronics-maker business spin-off — all under zero-downtime business requirements.
Insurance & Agencies
Program-level PMO on a Salesforce replacement for a major P&C insurer's agency network. Built the PII detection system, orchestrated multiple vendors, and delivered on the original schedule with zero slippage.
Food Wholesale & Distribution
Program-level PMO during the launch phase of a major food wholesaler's core system replacement. Led plan formation, vendor selection, cost alignment, and program-wide progress visibility.
EC & Social Gaming
Sourced an offshore vendor for a mid-market finance EC membership build and dispatched our members to India for face-to-face requirements alignment. Introduced automated configuration management during a social-gaming platform's cloud migration.
+ Credit Card, Software and more
Privacy compliance program for a major card issuer, portal platform build for a major software vendor, base-station investment-management system for a telecom operator — and more across industries.
Our Approach
Small diagnostics before grand proposals. We start by understanding your current state.
AssessAssess
We begin with a 30-minute conversation about your systems, organization, and challenges. Technical deep-dives follow as needed. The initial consultation is free of charge.
DesignDesign
From the diagnostic we frame 2–3 candidate approaches. A proposal including technology selection, team composition, and estimate is delivered within two weeks.
ExecuteExecute
Contract delivery, technical advisor, PMO engagement — we adopt the engagement model best suited to the project, working fully remotely as the default.
SustainSustain
Delivery is not the finish line. We stay engaged through operations, improvement, and expansion. Flexible mid-engagement changes and scale adjustments are supported.
Our Team
Lead-class members who have built careers at major Japanese system integrators, enterprise clients, and global consulting firms — engaging directly on your project.
Small team, all lead-class or above.
Not a conventional consulting pyramid (many juniors under a few leads). We are composed entirely of lead-class members and above. No juniors are placed on engagements — experienced practitioners face the client directly.

Client names are anonymized in accordance with NDAs. Below are representative engagements varying in industry, scale, and theme. Further details available on request.
National TV Network
Full website replatforming
Led as PM on a full-service web replatforming program. Orchestrated a large development team while simultaneously advancing multi-region DR, AI-driven routine-work automation, and cloud load-balancing / scale-out design. Built a platform resilient to broadcast-event traffic surges, balancing availability and change-responsiveness in an environment that cannot stop.
Major P&C Insurer
Agency Salesforce rollout · program PMO
Program-level PMO for a Salesforce replacement serving the agency network. Shaped requirements for a PII-detection system, enforced unified progress / quality / issue control across concurrent vendors, and delivered on the original schedule with zero slippage.
Major Food Wholesaler
Core system replacement · launch-phase PMO
Program governance during the launch phase of a major core-system replacement. Led plan formation, vendor selection, cost alignment, and program-wide progress visibility.
Major Department Store
Gift & consolidated-procurement system (long-term ops)
As infrastructure lead, sustained 24/7 maintenance and operations over an extended period with zero user impact — a mission-critical engagement. Additional workstreams were delivered end-to-end from requirements through build, combining long-term stability with continuous improvement.
Major Telecom Carrier
Base-station system rebuild (disaster-response)
A project initially set back by the Great East Japan Earthquake was brought to completion on the original delivery date through priority redesign, parallelization, and task redistribution — a demonstration of crisis-mode rescheduling and team leadership.
Mid-market Finance EC
Membership platform · India onsite
After sourcing an offshore vendor, remote meetings posed a residual risk of requirements misalignment. We dispatched our members to India for face-to-face alignment, securing quality and releasing on schedule.
Major Electronics Maker
Business spin-off system migration
Sub-lead PMO on a multi-site, multi-system migration for a corporate spin-off. Coordinated application and infrastructure schedule alignment, service cutover, data migration, and cutover-day program-wide run execution.
Major P&C Insurer
Insurance platform · infrastructure automation
On an insurance system requiring rapid construction of many servers in a short window, we built an IaC baseline with Ansible, Chef, and ServerSpec. Codified configuration management eliminated human error and dramatically accelerated delivery — high quality on a tight schedule.
Department Store
Credit-screening system · incident reduction
Chronic incidents at hand-over time were dramatically reduced through log-based root cause analysis, configuration changes, and monitoring-threshold tuning — while concurrently handling customer coordination, vendor control, and team management. Delivered operating-cost reduction as well.
One thing unchanged since day one.
When we founded farspect in 2004, the term "cloud" had not yet taken hold. Back then, "tomorrow's technology" meant server virtualization and distributed databases. Every year we have kept learning the technology that era called "tomorrow's" — and connected it to our clients' businesses.
What does not change is treating technology as a tool for executive decisions — and choosing designs in which both the users and the operators are genuinely happy. Across industries, sustaining work along these two axes since founding is something we are proud of.
