NCC Japan

What NCC Japan does

NCC Japan (日本クラウド株式会社 / Nippon Cloud Co., Ltd.) is a Tokyo-based Japanese IT services company founded in December 1971 and operating under the holding-company group Unics Holdings (ユニックスホールディングス) as a private corporation with 36 employees (22 male, 14 female) and registered capital of ¥104.52 million. The company operates a diversified set of practices: (i) custom system development across front-end, back-end, mobile, and AI-adjacent work on stacks including Oracle, SQL Server, SAP, Lotus Notes, and BI tools (Dr.sum, JP1, BO); (ii) System Engineering Services (SES) staffing in languages such as Java, C/C++, C#, VB.NET, PL/SQL, ABAP, RPG; (iii) a tablet-based proprietary 配筋検査システム (Reinforcement Inspection System) for construction firms, distributed via partner JCCソフト株式会社; (iv) an equipment-leasing business; and (v) a long-running China Market Entry Support Service built on relationships dating to the 1980s with two local Chinese software-company partners.

Its revenue model combines project-based professional services (system development, China-market consulting) with recurring or quasi-recurring streams (SES time-and-materials engagements, SaaS distribution through JCCソフト, lease payments on equipment portfolios). Go-to-market is sales-led direct enterprise outreach, supplemented by the JCCソフト distribution channel for the construction product and recruitment-driven marketing on the corporate site. Customers span Japanese IT/technology firms (日立製作所, アクセンチュアジャパン, TIS, インテリジェントウェイブ, アルファテック, アドソル日進, JSホールディングス, フューチャーレイズ), industrials/chemicals (三菱ケミカル, 大分液化ガス), education (國學院高等學校), and associations (日本能率協会); several customers are also equity holders, including Teijin (since 1974), Intelligent Wave (since 2003), and Terra Technology (since 2012).

Operationally, the company sits within a small group of jointly-controlled subsidiaries (知識工学, 日本エイエスアイ, グラム) under Unics Holdings, holds Privacy Mark certification (JIPDEC, registration 11820693, since August 2014), and underwent a leadership transition in July 2023 when Kyosuke Hara (原 京介) became President and Representative Director. The April 2025 corporate-website renewal repositioned the company as a 'Next Create Company' with stated emphasis on AI utilization and DX initiatives; AI in practice is a marketed capability within custom development rather than a differentiated core technology.
