bluejava started building web-based business applications for clients from our Japan location in 2002. We began by forming a small core team composed of the best people we could find with clear track records of success. We then selected the best technologies available, based both on our collective experiences and from exhaustive research. And finally, we incorporated a set of optimized methodologies composed of best-practices, emerging patterns, and "tried and true" business processes.
Using these technologies and processes enabled us to build several successful solutions for our early clients. But we wanted to create even better solutions, faster, with more affordable prices for our clients.
So we set out to improve upon every aspect of software development that we could.

One focus in this endeavor, was the development platform. We had worked in most of the leading web development technologies available, and found them all to be lacking. Most were simply too "general purpose" and did little or nothing to address the specific needs of the business web.
We wanted a platform backed by an industry leading power-language - Java. We wanted it to understand the many special needs of sophisticated, secure business web applications such as secure forms, managed translation systems, and efficient data caching.
We also wanted to make development as easy and as simple and as powerful as possible for everyone involved in the development, design and creation of content. This resulted in what is now called the Yokohama Business Platform.
The Yokohama Business Platform has been a huge success for us, and we are now inviting other developers to take advantage of it's benefits as well.
Another focus for us was on the business processes. Gathering requirements, managing change, handling issues and ensuring client satisfaction are some of the most important business activities that any web development company engages in.
The low success rate of large software projects is extremely concerning - and research has shown that the reason for failure, is most often due to breakdowns in these processes. To
address this, we have adopted best-practices in the industry, such as "Agile Software Development", and continue to improve upon them based on our own successful project interactions. Additionally we have built online services to aid in the management of projects and to ensure the clearest of communication between all individuals involved in a project.
These online services, along with our refined business processes and the Yokohama Business
Platform, are the cornerstones of our approach. Through these advancements, we have built better solutions for our clients, in less time and at more affordable costs.
We look forward to talking with you further about how our services can benefit you. If you have a project in need of web application services, tell us about it and we can get started right away!
