ABOUT US

The Japan Cloud local joint venture model was created on the proverbial “back of a napkin” by the firm’s Chairman Allen Miner and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff in 1999. The model has proven a resounding success, with companies like Salesforce, Concur and Marketo transforming the IT landscape in Japan. 

Japan Cloud currently powers the Japan operations of leading global SaaS companies.
