What IDACS does

IDACS Co., Ltd. (株式会社アイダックス), founded April 1984 and headquartered in Osaka, Japan, is a privately held Japanese IT services company with 11 employees as of April 2023 and registered capital of 10,000,000 JPY. The company operates three integrated service lines: commissioned custom software development (受託開発), technical staff dispatch (業務サポート), and proprietary brand software (自社ブランド), all delivered via direct enterprise engagement without intermediary channels.

IDACS's commissioned development practice builds custom business, web, and embedded/control systems for clients spanning manufacturing, service, medical/healthcare, and railway verticals. Technology capabilities span legacy and modern stacks — VB, C, C++, C#, Java,.NET, PHP, and Perl — together with major databases including Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, running on Windows, UNIX, Linux, and real-time operating systems. The technical staff dispatch arm, authorized under permit 派27-303905 obtained December 2018, places engineers on client sites for control systems, business systems, web development, network setup, and mainframe operations. The proprietary brand software line, registered under the Microsoft Partner Program, develops in-house software from employee-submitted proposals through a closed proposal-design-sales-maintenance lifecycle.

IDACS generates revenue through negotiated per-project fees and engineer dispatch billings; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by engagement. Named customer logos — among them NTT Data SBC, JIEC, HTS Act, Kiyano IT Solutions, and Keiei Joho Center — sit overwhelmingly in the IT services and system integration sector, suggesting IDACS primarily functions as a Tier-2 vendor serving larger Japanese SI partners rather than as a direct enterprise software house. Marketing and distribution are limited to the corporate website (idacs.co.jp); no social media or content marketing footprint was observed in the input data, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
