JSAG Overview:

Systems Analysts are high-level IT professionals certified by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Those licensed professionals founded Japan Systems Analysts Group (JSAG) in November 11, 2000 as a voluntary association. JSAG now has about 500 members nationwide, and six chapters in the Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Kyushu regions of Japan. The members join JSAG not only for their special interests as organized IT professionals, but also as challenge-oriented individuals who would like to inspire each other under JSAG mission and strategy they agreed on.

Activities:

JSAG holds open forums for IT professionals at least once a year -- Osaka in 2003, Tokyo in 2004, Ogaki in 2005, Fukuoka in 2006, Sapporo in 2007, and Osaka in 2008.
Many JSAG members publish their books, and their works are introduced in our web site.
On the daily basis, members nationwide communicate closely and share information using mailing lists. Chapters hold meetings and seminars
regularly to deepen communication among members. JSAG occasionally works together with other professional communities.
