and.dot Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuta Ibaraki), which develops the AX Produce business, has signed a partnership agreement with GMO Pepabo Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kentaro Sato) for the implementation and utilization support of Google Workspace. This partnership will combine GMO Pepabo's Google Workspace sales network with and.dot's proven track record in supporting the implementation and training of Google Workspace and Gemini, to comprehensively support DX and AX promotion for municipalities and companies nationwide. What is the AX Produce Business? The AX Produce business is a comprehensive service that produces the ideal realization of business reforms using AI (AX = AI Transformation) for companies. It is a comprehensive service that goes beyond merely supporting the introduction of AI tools to reconstruct a company's entire business model on the premise of AI, creating a sustainable competitive advantage. After deeply hearing out management issues and on-site business processes, we provide consistent, hands-on support from the selection of optimal AI technology to its implementation and entrenchment in the organizational culture and education. Background and Aim of this Partnership Google Workspace is now widely used as the foundation for organizational operations, regardless of whether they are municipalities or private companies. In particular, with the standard inclusion of Gemini, market interest is shifting from the phase of "tool introduction" to "how to embed AI into daily operations and improve productivity." However, the true entrenchment of AI requires advanced training design and continuous on-site support. Against this backdrop, GMO Pepabo, which has a customer base throughout the country as a seller of Google Workspace, and and.dot, which has supported AI utilization in over 300 companies and more than 250 municipalities based on its unique "AI Skill Pyramid®", determined that their strengths are highly complementary, leading to this partnership agreement. Through this collaboration, we will provide end-to-end services from Google Workspace license supply to support for in-house generative AI utilization, and support the construction of "AI-premised business processes" in many more organizations. [Future Outlook] To co-creation on a national scale with Google Workspace as the starting point for AI utilization. and.dot continues to accompany organizational transformation through AI utilization support, under the management philosophy of "Creating the future's normal, now." Through the partnership with GMO Pepabo, we will position Google Workspace as the starting point for AI utilization and promote the acceleration of DX for both municipalities and private companies. By combining the networks and knowledge of both companies, we will create an environment where even more organizations can incorporate generative AI into their daily work and concentrate on their core business.
