Concept
pléin/Origin of Plain
Plain originally meant a flat, clear, unadorned plateau. This product is only the foundation.
The landscape changes diversely and has the potential to develop and expand over time as client companies and various partners gather and co-create new services and businesses on the "plain".
No two digital services created by utilizing this product are the same.
We aim to create a product that allows people and companies that are not necessarily skilled in digital technology to more than adequately express their individuality and strengths, and that can also serve as a stage for capturing new opportunities for growth. This concept is the origin of the name "Plain".
