She told us that one of the Change Vision team’s strengths is the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with their users. and how a smart strategy of building a strong community around the product helps them to succeed. Satomi Joba, Head of Communications, gave us a tour around the office and explained a bit more about Change Vision, Inc. Simplicity, quality and community were, and still are the top priorities of Change Vision and Astah.
Astah Professional is built in close collaboration with users, it consistently scores highly in user reviews and it is regarded as a high-quality and user-friendly tool. Models and diagrams can be shared among teams, integrating with several tools such as Confluence. He decided to create Astah, an editor for creating UML diagrams, mind maps, flow diagrams, use cases and much more. He dreamed of something more intuitive, something that would align with developer’s logical thought processes and their imagination, something that would allow them to share these thoughts with others. As an engineer Kenji worked with many software tools that were mechanically right but not user friendly. in a previous blog, in this second instalment, I want to concentrate on Change Vision, Inc.Ĭhange Vision, Inc was founded by Kenji in 2006 to develop and market Astah. We were more interested in meeting with trend-setters than dinosaurs – we had a meeting with Kenji Hiranabe, CEO of ESM, Inc. Those are exciting attractions, they were just not the reason that we were going to take the Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Fukui. We could of course have mentioned the famous Tonjinbo cliffs, Fukui castle or the prominent dinosaur museum. “Fukui!” both David and I responded, full of enthusiasm. “So where are you planning to go next?” asked the hotel receptionist in Tokyo, expecting us to list some of the usual tourist places.
