Landscape and VisasQ Form Business Alliance
— Accelerating Corporate Support with Japan's Largest Corporate Database and a Leading Knowledge Platform —

Landscape Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Katsuhito Nagatake; hereinafter "Landscape"), which supports corporate marketing with Japan's largest corporate database, announced on the 17th that it has entered into a business alliance with VisasQ Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Eiko Hashiba; listed on the Mothers market; hereinafter "VisasQ"), which supports corporate innovation through its knowledge platform. As a first step, Landscape has integrated its "sideSonar" service with the "VisasQ interview" site. Through this partnership, both companies aim to provide the corporate sector with faster services for resolving research challenges.

■ Background of the Business Alliance
Generally, when companies conduct marketing research on a specific industry, they often face the challenge of needing insights from industry experts but lacking the necessary connections. To address this, VisasQ leverages a database of over 400,000 advisors—professionals with diverse industry and operational experience—to provide services that allow clients to quickly obtain insights from knowledgeable advisors for any research challenge. Meanwhile, Landscape possesses "LBC," a proprietary corporate database covering domestic business locations, and supports sales and marketing activities, such as lead list creation, by providing corporate information to client companies through its cloud-based services, "uSonar" and "sideSonar." By combining their respective strengths—a "knowledge database" and a "corporate database"—the companies believe they can provide more powerful and rapid marketing research solutions.

■ Overview of the Business Alliance and Expected Customer Benefits
As the first step of this alliance, a button has been added to Landscape's flagship service, "sideSonar," allowing users to jump directly to the "VisasQ interview" page. sideSonar users can now apply for advisor consultations directly on the VisasQ page whenever they need expert advice.
As the second step of the alliance, a joint seminar titled "Understand in 30 Minutes: Leading New Business to Success" will be held on Thursday, February 10, 2022. We invite you to register.
