We have launched ShareWisU, a new service. ShareWisU is a system that lets organizations build a subscription membership business based on video delivery. It gives consulting firms with corporate clients, and training companies with individual members, an environment in which they can deliver and manage video content for their own customers.

About ShareWisU
ShareWisU lets you deliver the video content you own as online courses and build your own e-learning environment that only your members can view. You can also rent more than 500 online courses offered on ShareWis, our online learning platform for individuals, and provide them to your members. Companies that already have video content, as well as those that do not, can build an original e-learning environment for their members.
Content delivered on ShareWisU can be viewed on PCs, tablets, and smartphones. With the dedicated app, learners can also download videos, so they can study comfortably anytime and anywhere without worrying about their internet connection.
For example, a consulting firm can turn its know-how into video content and create an e-learning service for its client companies, and a training company can create a service where people watch skill-building videos. Companies can make the most of their own content to launch new subscription membership businesses.
Features of ShareWisU
You can easily and affordably (from 25,000 yen per month) build a members-only video course service that can be viewed on PCs, tablets, and smartphones. Delivered videos can also be viewed in the dedicated app. Learners can download courses in advance and watch them while commuting to work or school. No video content of your own? No problem. You can choose the courses you want to deliver from more than 500 titles held by ShareWis, covering the latest topics from business skills such as programming and web marketing to hobbies. From the admin screen, you can also track which users are watching which content, and how far they have progressed.
ShareWisU case studies
Ahead of today’s official launch, ShareWisU has already been adopted by several companies.
Case study 1: Extend Co., Ltd.
Extend Co., Ltd., which provides consulting services specializing in small and medium-sized businesses, offers a membership service for its clients under its own brand, “Extend Club,” featuring its own content on business succession and bank negotiation along with ShareWis video courses.
Case study 2: Embex Education Co., Ltd.
Embex Education Co., Ltd., which provides IT engineer training to more than 1,700 people a year in 38 prefectures across Japan, combines its own content with ShareWis video courses for new employees to offer an online learning service for students who are job hunting.
ShareWisU has also been adopted by professional service firms, schools, and companies in the nursing care and medical fields. We will continue to improve the service so that a wide variety of businesses with corporate or individual members can use it.
Background
With the cooperation of more than 200 publishers, training companies, and instructors, ShareWis has published and sold a wide variety of learning content on ShareWis, our online learning platform. We have also worked with services such as “en-college online,” en Japan Inc.’s training video service, and “L School,” Leopalace21 Corporation’s Android TV app for learning on TV, to offer this content widely to both organizations and individuals. In delivering learning content across many different platforms, we found that demand for content differs dramatically from platform to platform. For example, content rarely viewed by individuals became popular with organizations, and vice versa. We realized that when delivering content, we must carefully choose which learners to reach and through which channels, and that only when that choice is right does a course actually reach learners and lead to real learning. To widen the channels through which learning content can deliver its value, and to bring the value of learning to more people, we decided to launch ShareWisU.
Starting with ShareWisU, we aim to build a platform where everyone can experience learning, gaining new knowledge and becoming able to do what they could not do before, in a way that gives them hope for the future.
