Our Story

Enabling a smooth and reliable digital transformation

EastGate was established in 2005 with the conviction of enabling a smooth and reliable digital transformation for organizations.

 

Inspired by his need to stay in touch with his classmates and friends from different parts of the world, Yasuhito Usui, our founder, and CEO got the idea for EastGate back in 2001 during his graduation in New York. Yes, it’s an individual’s personal need to stay connected that now connects people professionally.

 

The principle idea, combined with his ambition for creating his own system while working for a system consulting firm designing and developing customized systems, inspired him to build his own member management system from scratch.

 

Even though there were some member management systems and similar programs in the industry back then, there were none that specifically allowed administrators to have complete control for managing their members; which became the USP of EastGate systems like SmartCore and AlumNet.

 

Now with a growing team of +30 and 9 years of development experience, we build world-class programs that are primarily user-centered and can contribute to the growth and smooth functioning of organizations.

 

EastGate Infotech was established in September 2013 to design, develop and manage, smooth and reliable membership management solutions for EastGate Corporation.

 

Offering the most comprehensive systems, we exclusively design programs for a wide variety of membership organizations, that can manage their members, website, events, and communications in a smooth and effective manner.
