MA Solutions

What MA Solutions does

MA Solutions Co., Ltd. (株式会社MAソリューションズ) is a privately held Japanese IT services company founded in August 2003 and headquartered at 963-8034 Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. The company delivers integrated IT lifecycle services to Japanese small and medium businesses (SMBs), centered on PC and smart-device kitting (configuration, software installation, and network setup), recurring IT maintenance subscriptions, and professional WEB seminar/conference streaming with equipment rental and on-site operation support. Additional offerings include network design, ad-hoc IT troubleshooting, ¥1,500/hour meeting room rental at the headquarters facility (265.5 sqm on the 3F of the company building), and a self-learning academy (自立学習塾). Customer segments are SMBs with 1 to 50+ devices plus Japanese manufacturing firms, the latter tied to the founder's stated mission of revitalizing Japanese manufacturing through IT.

The company's technology stack is operational rather than proprietary. Kitting services rely on standard Windows, Microsoft Office, and third-party security software installations rather than any owned platform. WEB streaming services use third-party infrastructure — ZOOM (account setup, breakout sessions) and YouTube Live (streaming, limited/closed distribution, archive publishing) — combined with owned broadcast equipment: 3 PCs, 2 mobile monitors, 2 cameras with tripods, 1 USB camera, 3 microphones, 2 lighting units, 2 switchers, and a green screen. No software products, APIs, SDKs, patents, or trademarks are disclosed, and integrations are limited to ZOOM and YouTube.

MA Solutions operates a hybrid revenue model with three primary streams: (1) tiered monthly kitting subscriptions priced from ¥30,000 to ¥100,000+ per month based on device count (1–10 devices at ¥30,000, 11–20 at ¥50,000, 21–50 at ¥100,000, 51+ custom); (2) one-time per-service IT tasks priced ¥5,000–¥10,000 per unit/hour (e.g., PC setup, printer setup, network configuration, NAS setup, security software installation, email setup, troubleshooting); and (3) project-based WEB streaming services with fixed plans (¥55,000 Light Plan and ¥75,000 Standard Plan for 4-hour sessions, ¥5,500 WEB conference Standard Plan, ¥22,000 add-on options). Sales motion is sales-led and direct: on-site service delivery at customer premises, regular monthly visits, and direct inquiries through the company website. The company also operates a wholly-owned Korean subsidiary, MA Solutions KOREA Limited (established October 2008 in Anseong-si, Gyeonggi-do). A Fukuoka office opened in October 2006 was closed in March 2021.
