SKYNET

What SKYNET does

株式会社スカイネット (Skynet Co., Ltd.) is a privately held Japanese IT services company headquartered in Tokyo, founded in September 2003 by Representative Director Tanaka Hideaki alongside two co-founders. As of April 2026, the company had grown to 51 employees and entered a self-declared "second founding period" focused on AI and digital transformation. The firm operates from a registered headquarters in Setagaya, Tokyo and a main working office in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and is structured as a founder-led corporation with 10 million JPY in registered capital and no disclosed external institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.

Skynet's core offering is a portfolio of professional and managed IT services rather than a packaged software product. The business is organized across two main lines: インフラ事業 (Infrastructure Services) covering server and network design/construction, cloud environment setup (AWS, Azure, private cloud, on-premises), and middleware; and アプリケーション開発事業 (Application Development Services) covering web systems, smartphone apps, and digital transformation work in Java, C#, and Python. Supporting service lines include end-to-end system integration, IT consulting, ongoing system operations management (job scheduling, authentication management, monitoring), IT engineering staffing under a labor dispatch permit (派13-309724), and a nascent 自社サービス (self-developed services) line.

The company monetizes through project-based professional services fees, recurring managed operations contracts, and engineer dispatch/staffing, with billing rates implied by disclosed salaries of 220K–250K JPY/month plus allowances. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by channel partnerships with major Japanese system integrators — Hitachi Systems, Hitachi Solutions Create, and ITOCHU Techno-Solutions (CTC) — which function simultaneously as primary clients and project distribution outlets. Direct enterprise end-user contracts (notably Idemitsu Kosan) extend the customer base beyond IT services intermediaries. The firm is ISO/IEC 27001:2013 ISMS-certified (No. IS774471), operates exclusively within Japan's Kanto region, and runs its recruitment and demand-generation engine through online job platforms (Mynavi, Doda, engage), Facebook, and the corporate website skynet.co.jp.
