// The Japan layer for global AI, data, and infrastructure vendors

The technology is rarely the hard part. Japan is.

Language, contracts, channel, presales, and a support call answered in Japanese. We have built that layer from Tokyo since 2001.

// The AI stack

Everything your product needs here

Getting a product adopted here takes work that only happens on the ground. We run the presales, set up the proof of concept, and help the customer decide whether a global AI service fits or they need a sovereign setup that keeps data in-country. We also make the introductions, to the SIs and resellers your buyers already use. None of it runs from an office abroad.

Data Engineering

The megabanks, telcos, and manufacturers here carry some of the highest transactional volumes in the world, and streaming-first architectures are displacing batch ETL. That is where we deliver real-time data infrastructure: distributed SQL, CDC streaming, and embedded analytics. On-premise deployment and Japanese-language support are available where data residency demands it.

AI and Machine Learning

We take production AI infrastructure into an enterprise AI market that is among the fastest-growing in Asia. Coverage spans AI-native real-time data engines, change-data-capture streaming, embedded AI analytics, and production AIOps with GPU optimization. We add the local layer too: Japanese-language presales, proofs of concept run in the customer's environment, and on-premise or private-cloud deployment in trusted, in-country data centers.

Explore

Cybersecurity

We bring agentless device intelligence and automated email authentication to Japan's enterprise, government, and critical infrastructure buyers. This is a market worth tens of billions of dollars a year, where IoT and OT expansion and DMARC enforcement mandates are stretching attack surfaces faster than most security teams can track.

Sovereign data, sovereign AI, sovereign security

Every layer we bring can run where the customer controls it. For a global vendor that is a product which clears Japan's residency bar before the first meeting; for a Japanese enterprise it is adopting AI without handing the data to a foreign cloud.

Sovereign data

Kept in country, in the systems of record, under APPI and the sector rules.

Sovereign AI

Models served on infrastructure the customer owns, with inference in country.

Sovereign security

Device and email trust governed to Japanese standards.

We license, help deploy, and provide support for your product.

Adoption and renewal are decided long after the contract is signed, in the integration and day-to-day operation that follow. That is the work we take on ourselves: connecting your product to the systems each customer already runs, adding third-party platforms and curated open source when a requirement calls for it, and supporting the deployment for the full life of the licence.

Market Entry

We size the addressable market, rank target accounts, work out competitive positioning, and build an operational roadmap, all before your first customer meeting.

Sales & Distribution

We sell directly to enterprise and government, and we cover the channel across SIs, distributors, MSSPs, and resellers. Master reselling is available.

Real Time Data Platform

SingleStore

SingleStore is a real-time distributed SQL database used by Uber, Samsung, Dell, Nvidia, Goldman Sachs, and hundreds of other global enterprises. In Japan the natural buyers sit in financial services, telco, and manufacturing, where transaction volumes are among the highest anywhere and streaming-first architectures are taking over from batch ETL. On-premise deployment is supported where data residency mandates require it.

Real Time Data Integration and Streaming

Striim

Striim is an AI-powered real-time data integration platform with non-intrusive change data capture from 100+ sources. It runs continuous replication at UPS, American Airlines, Macy's, and Orange around the world. Here the buyers are enterprises replacing legacy ETL with streaming pipelines, and they get presales, implementation, and support in Japanese.

Embedded Analytics

Logi Composer

Logi Composer is insightsoftware's embedded analytics platform, named a 2025 Leader in Business Intelligence by Info Tech Research Group. Its buyers in Japan are SaaS vendors and ISVs, because local enterprises reject bolt-on BI and want analytics built into the product. Logi Composer lets those vendors ship a complete product into a market that has no patience for assembly required.

AIOps and Intelligent Operations

ProphetStor

ProphetStor's Federator.ai is an AIOps platform built on patented multilayer causal analysis and predictive autoscaling. Orange Telecom runs production Kubernetes autoscaling on it globally. In Japan the fit is with enterprises building production AI infrastructure under tight local GPU supply and fixed annual IT budgets, in financial services, telco, and enterprise AI.

Device Intelligence and IoT and OT Security

DeviceTotal

IoT and OT expansion has left Japanese manufacturers, critical infrastructure operators, and financial institutions with attack surfaces traditional EDR cannot see. DeviceTotal's AI-powered agentless device intelligence platform is built for exactly those buyers. Its vulnerability data comes straight from 874 device manufacturers rather than aggregated public databases. In OT environments where some devices have not been patched in a decade, that difference in data quality is what counts.

Email Authentication and Antiphishing

Valimail

Valimail is the global leader in zero-trust email authentication, acquired by DigiCert in 2025. It is FedRAMP certified and used by Uber, Fannie Mae, the U.S. Census Bureau, and Splunk around the world. In Japan the buyers sit in financial services, government, and enterprise, where DMARC enforcement has turned into both a regulatory expectation and a board-level brand protection priority. The FSA, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, and NISC now point to enforcement on a 2025 to 2026 timeline, and Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft already reject unauthenticated bulk mail, which makes this the moment domestic senders move off monitoring mode.

What Japan's AI numbers actually say.

Most Japan AI pilots stop at PoC.

Industry surveys show that few local enterprises have moved generative AI from evaluation into production. Buyers here expect proofs of concept in their own environment, Japanese documentation, and presales engineers who know both the product and the local buyer.

Japan runs on channel.

About 70% of enterprise software here ships through systems integrators, distributors, and MSSPs, by industry consensus. Direct-only sales does not scale in Japan.

Local talent is tight.

METI projects a 790,000 IT engineer shortage by 2030. Building a team in Japan from scratch takes years. We have been here since 2001.

Bring us your product. We assess the fit honestly: the technology, the company behind it, how well it can be supported, and where it lands against what buyers here already run. If it belongs in Japan, we name the enterprise and government accounts it suits and map the path from the first meeting to a signed licence.
