What Kabinett does

Kabinett Inc. (株式会社カビネット) is a privately held Japanese IT services company founded on September 27, 1995, by Representative Director Naoya Nakamura, headquartered in Tama City, Tokyo with a secondary office in Chiyoda-ku. The company operates three integrated business pillars: Cloud Services centered on its proprietary Kabinett.Cloud managed private cloud platform; Software Development spanning custom enterprise systems, CMS, e-learning platforms, and internet-content-linked applications; and Design/Content Production covering website development, SEO, digital content, and print media. Technical infrastructure combines in-house proprietary technology (Kabinett.Cloud) with resold best-of-breed solutions from partners including Microsoft Japan, Acronis, Trend Micro, and SB C&S, enabling integrated offerings across hosting, backup (Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud), security (Trend Micro, Virus Buster), email protection (Active! gate SS), and productivity (Microsoft 365).

The company serves Japanese enterprises and mid-market clients across at least nine verticals — manufacturing, logistics, retail, insurance, government, education, nonprofit, printing, and professional services — with a sales-led, consultative GTM motion executed through direct engagement rather than resellers or marketplaces. Revenue is generated through three recurring streams: subscription-based managed cloud services (including usage-based billing for backup), ongoing custom software maintenance, and website/content production retainers. Pricing is quote-based across all service lines, with only the Acronis-backed backup service operating on usage-based monthly billing. The company employs 23 people, holds ¥10M in registered capital, has not raised external funding, and celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2025 with a planned headquarters relocation effective April 2026.

• KDDI: Major Japanese telecom operator with growing cloud, managed services, and security offerings (KDDI Cloud, WAF, etc.). Overlaps with Kabinett's managed cloud and security services for Japanese enterprise customers.
• Fujitsu: Global Japanese-headquartered IT services and systems integrator offering cloud, software development, and managed services. Competes with Kabinett for Japanese enterprise IT projects but with dramatically broader capabilities.
• GMO Internet Group: Large Japanese internet conglomerate providing domain, hosting, cloud, security, and managed services through multiple subsidiaries. Comparable to Kabinett as a domestic cloud/security provider, but at much greater scale and breadth.
