Works ID Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryuichi Ikenobe; hereinafter referred to as Works ID), which supports DX and AX (AI Transformation) for companies, is pleased to announce that it has been selected as an IT Introduction Support Business for the "Subsidies for Digitalization and AI Introduction Support" by the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency.

This selection marks the second consecutive year of certification for Works ID, following last year. We will strongly support the DX of business operations for small and medium-sized enterprises utilizing the business improvement platform "kintone," and the promotion of operational efficiency (AX) using generative AI, by significantly reducing the cost burden.

Background: The "Wall of Knowledge Utilization" and "Anxiety About Cost Burden" Hindering Frontline-Led DX

Currently, many small and medium-sized enterprises and long-established companies are facing not only the challenge of severe labor shortages but also concrete issues such as the renewal of existing systems that have become black boxes after many years of use, and "digital tools have been introduced, but data and knowledge utilization at the frontline level is not progressing."

In response to these challenges, Works ID has gone beyond simply providing tools. We have provided end-to-end "supportive assistance" by deeply understanding industry-specific business processes and terminology, and by facing challenges as one team with our clients through workshops and direct dialogue. This has enabled true DX where systems and AI are reliably integrated into daily operations, even for non-IT departments and frontline members without specialized IT knowledge, leading to many success stories.

On the other hand, when considering thorough support tailored to the actual frontline situation, and the construction of advanced systems combining kintone and generative AI, the "anxiety about the cost burden of initial investment and subsequent operation" is the biggest hurdle preventing many companies from taking the next step.

That is precisely why Works ID has been selected as an IT Introduction Support Business for this year's "Subsidies for Digitalization and AI Introduction 2026," following last year's "IT Introduction Subsidies 2025," in order to continue to create an environment where customers can alleviate their cost concerns and confidently move forward with frontline-led DX and AX (AI Transformation).

Benefits of "Subsidies for Digitalization and AI Introduction Support" x kintone Introduction Support

With Works ID, you can receive subsidies of up to less than 1.5 million yen for the license and introduction costs of "kintone."

*Please refer to the following for details of the system, as subsidy categories and conditions vary depending on the application and the business operator.

Furthermore, in February 2026, we launched our proprietary plugin "Works Connect to neoAI Chat," which seamlessly integrates kintone and generative AI. Our strength lies in building the foundation for advanced AX (AI Transformation) that goes beyond simple business digitalization. *A license for kintone and neoAI chat is required to use this plugin.

Furthermore, we will go beyond simply providing IT tools to support the "automation and optimization of the entire business process," from company reception to administrative processing and data utilization, thereby contributing to the sustainable growth and improved labor productivity of Japanese companies.
