Internet Initiative Japan (Iij)

Ever since its establishment in 1992 as the first Japanese Internet Service Provider, IIJ has been taking pioneering steps in the field of Internet technology. By leveraging the technological expertise gained through providing Internet connectivity services, the company has expanded its business portfolio as a total solutions provider, offering outsourcing services that include cloud computing, Wide-Area Network (WAN) services, systems integration services, and more. By so doing, we have grown as a corporate group that responds to customers’ requests for a wide range of network applications with one-stop services. By combining information technology infrastructure and telecommunications technology infrastructure, the Internet has brought about a technology revolution that has transformed all of the world’s systems and frameworks. Putting all information online has resulted in an almost unlimited expansion of the potential for utilizing information. As network transmission speeds have grown faster and the functionality of data processing has improved, it has become possible to develop new technologies such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) beyond the realm of computing into fully-fledged commercial services. This process of giving concrete form to IT concepts marks the beginning of a new era in which global systems and structures will undergo dramatic change. At the forefront of this major trend, the IIJ Group is developing its businesses with the strong belief that continuous innovation can lead to the creation of all-new industries. Based on our corporate philosophy of ensuring high quality and reliability, which we have pursued since the Company’s establishment, we will also continue to provide innovative services that bring new value to customers and contribute to the evolution of a fully networked society.
