Enabling AI Utilization Without Adding New SaaS—Achieving Next-Generation AI Infrastructure with $0 Additional Monthly Cost

Biz Architects Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo; CEO: Shakiho Oe) today announced the launch of a new service, "Biz AI Works," which enables enterprises to build advanced AI Agent environments at minimal cost by leveraging existing enterprise platforms such as Microsoft and Google that companies have already contracted.

This service maximizes the use of companies' existing IT assets to reduce AI implementation costs while delivering high ROI. It also provides support for in-house development, including building data warehouses that allow companies to operate and maintain their data assets internally.

Growing AI Adoption Reveals a New Challenge: "SaaS Fatigue"

As generative AI and AI Agents rapidly gain traction, many companies have individually introduced AI services and business SaaS solutions, leading to emerging challenges such as:

• Continuously increasing licensing costs • Data fragmentation across multiple systems • Stronger vendor dependency, making system changes difficult • Lack of accumulated internal operational expertise, resulting in black-box operations

Meanwhile, many companies have already adopted enterprise platforms such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace—environments that are fully capable of advanced AI and data utilization.

Instead of introducing new systems, our approach focuses on maximizing the value of existing infrastructure—this philosophy guided the development of our new service.

Key Features of the New Service "Biz AI Works"

1 AI Agent Implementation Leveraging Existing Enterprise Platforms

"Biz AI Works" maximizes the use of cloud platforms—such as Microsoft and Google—that enterprises already have contracts for, enabling the construction of advanced AI Agent and business automation environments.

By minimizing reliance on external SaaS, the service achieves:

• Minimal additional licensing costs • Targeting $0 monthly operating costs • High compatibility with existing systems • Immediate ROI after implementation

Unlike approaches that require building or overhauling core systems, this service’s key advantage lies in maximizing the use of existing corporate assets, enabling companies to begin AI utilization quickly and at low cost.

2 Building Independent Data Lakes / Data Warehouses to Protect Data Assets

The most critical element in AI utilization is the data assets that companies have accumulated.

"Biz AI Works" adopts an architecture that allows companies to own and manage their data assets by constructing data lakes and data warehouses that operate independently from the AI environment.

This approach enhances long-term IT strategic flexibility by enabling:

• Reduced data integration costs • Centralized management of data assets • Avoidance of vendor lock-in • Flexible adaptation to future changes in AI services

We provide system design based on the principle that while AI tools may change, a company’s data assets remain constant.

3 Ongoing Support Aimed Not Just at Implementation, But at Internalization

We don’t just deliver systems—we support our clients in building the internal capacity to operate and improve AI independently.

Through our projects, we transfer knowledge and expertise in:

• AI Agent development • Data utilization methods • Maintenance and operations • Business improvement methodologies

This promotes internalization of AI and system operations—areas often prone to becoming black boxes—enabling companies to run continuous improvement cycles internally, reduce future maintenance costs, and improve operational efficiency.

Biz Architects' Vision for Ideal AI Implementation

With the advancement of generative AI, companies are entering an era of continuously adopting new tools.

However, what truly matters is not adding more new tools, but how best to maximize the value of existing IT assets.

We support AI utilization that delivers high results at low cost by centering system design on enterprise platforms such as Microsoft and Google that companies already own.

Furthermore, by protecting corporate data assets and accumulating expertise internally, we aim to build IT infrastructure that can continuously evolve, even in the rapidly changing AI era.

Comment from CEO Shakiho Oe

Most enterprises considering AI adoption already possess enterprise platforms with sufficient functionality, along with data of sufficient quality and volume that can be transformed for AI readiness.

We believe that by maximizing the use of these existing assets, we can help clients achieve maximum ROI with minimal additional cost—and go further by supporting them in building systems that they can operate and improve on their own.

Our value proposition is not just "implementing AI," but helping AI become "an integral part of the enterprise," ultimately "enhancing corporate value."

Future Outlook

Through "Biz AI Works," we aim to establish a new standard for enterprise AI adoption—one that maximizes existing assets, protects data assets, and achieves internalization of AI infrastructure.

Going forward, we will continue to provide end-to-end support, from AI strategy formulation and data infrastructure building to AI Agent development, business automation, and operational stabilization with internalization support, contributing to the sustainable advancement of DX in Japanese enterprises.
