Lebanon, NH, February 8, 2005 — isee systems, the world leader in Systems
Thinking software, recently released new Japanese versions of STELLA™ and
iThink™ in partnership with JUCA USA and Varsity Wave, a subsidiary of NFUCA.
"isee released the first Systems Thinking software in Japanese," said Jack
Templin, isee’s CEO. "Japan was eager for new versions of our products, and
JUCA USA and Varsity Wave have already helped us realize strong sales."
"In Japan, Systems Thinking software was first used by educators who were
applying it to their research in fields like biology and economics. Now we’re
hearing from a broad spectrum of sectors like civil engineering,
pharmaceuticals, and telecommunications,” said Shinoi Osuka, CEO of JUCA USA.
“The opportunity appears even larger than we imagined."
"The US and Japan have a long history of creating and implementing methods for
understanding and managing complexity and change," explains Templin. "An
example is TQM, Total Quality Management; a business methodology founded in the
US, but applied and perfected in Japan before gaining wide acceptance in the
States. We believe that Systems Thinking could follow a similar trajectory, and
that tools like STELLA and iThink will play a key role in widespread adoption."
With the new releases, Japanese users have access to the latest features as well
as translated versions of documentation, sample models, and isee’s popular
book, Introduction to System Thinking.
