Members Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akihiko Takano; TSE Prime: 2130; hereinafter "Members"), which leads social transformation together with its customers through on-site DX support, announces the establishment of "AI-PROX Company," a specialized organization to support corporate AI agent implementation, effective April 1, 2026.
The company will launch with a team of over 50 professionals. A multi-skilled (multitasking) professional team of PMOs (Project Management Offices) skilled in business process design and engineers will provide hands-on support for corporate AI agent implementation. This will contribute to realizing business transformation that elevates individual AI utilization to organization-wide autonomous execution (*1).
Background of Establishment
As the adoption and utilization of generative AI accelerate among domestic companies, the "AI agent" market, which autonomously performs multiple tasks, is expanding and further growth is expected (*2).
However, a 2025 survey conducted by the Yano Research Institute reveals that only 3.3% of companies are currently utilizing AI agents (*3). Additionally, hands-on support by "Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs)," who embed themselves in the corporate workplace to create business results with AI technology, is becoming more widespread, primarily among overseas companies.
Members has a history of supporting major companies in industries such as finance, manufacturing, and communications by acting "as if they were employees," becoming part of the client's team to provide on-site support from project management to development, data preparation, and operation in AI utilization and DX promotion.
Through this support, companies have raised challenges regarding AI utilization and AI agent implementation in their operations, such as "utilization remains at the individual level and does not expand organization-wide," "adapting to the latest technology and building processes is difficult," and "there is a lack of specialized personnel and the composite skills required for implementation and operation." In response to this growing need, we have established the specialized organization "AI-PROX Company."
Company Overview
This is a specialized organization where a multi-skilled professional team, combining PMOs skilled in business process design with engineers, provides hands-on support for corporate AI agent implementation, accommodating diverse AI needs. It contributes to business transformation by shifting the level of AI utilization from efficiency at the individual or departmental level to an "automation level" that enables autonomous process execution.
(1) Features
End-to-End Support by a "Multi-skilled Professional Team"
・Embodies a hands-on support style that consistently handles everything from issue identification to technology implementation at the client's workplace. Forms dedicated teams starting from a minimum of two members, consisting of PMOs skilled in business process design and engineers proficient in development, infrastructure, and data.
・A multi-skilled team with both business and engineering perspectives provides end-to-end support from strategy formulation to implementation. By ensuring technical feasibility from the planning phase, we achieve highly effective project promotion that functions in the field.
Hands-on Support as "As If They Were Employees" to Elevate to an Organizational "Automation Level"
・Supports organizational transformation to elevate the level of AI utilization from efficiency limited to individuals or departments to an "automation level" that autonomously executes the entire business process of the organization.
・Becomes a member of the client's team, providing hands-on support from understanding challenges to prototyping, and through the operation and improvement phases essential for creating results.
Optimal Technology Selection and Advanced Implementation for Challenges
・Without being tied to specific platforms or tools, flexibly selects and provides the most suitable technology for existing infrastructure and challenges, from the latest low-code tools to custom development.
・Optimizes advanced technical implementations essential for achieving practical results, such as API integration and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) construction, to fit the client's environment.
Knowledge Retention through Skill Transfer
・Professionals provide hands-on support, responding immediately to questions and issues in daily operations. Through reviews and other means, we ensure the retention of practical, real-world know-how that can be used in the development field.
(2) Target Companies
・Business and DX promotion departments in industries such as finance, manufacturing, communications, retail, and infrastructure.
・Companies that support the implementation of AI agents or the introduction and operation of SaaS tools.
(3) Corporate Challenges and Concerns
・Cannot fully adapt to the latest technology.
・Do not know how to proceed with process construction and operation.
・Operation is limited to individuals or specific departments and cannot be expanded organization-wide.
・Multiple skills such as project management, engineering, and business design are required, but the company lacks specialized personnel and knowledge with these combined skills.
Comment from Masashi Koike, President of Members AI-PROX Company
"Through supporting the DX and AI utilization of many companies, I have realized the importance and high value of multi-skilled support that transcends job roles.
A cross-functional team where the boundaries of business, creative, and technology merge, handling everything from requirements analysis to on-site business design. I am convinced that the support style of being 'as if they were employees,' working together hand-in-hand with the client at the 'manufacturing site' where products and processes are created, maximizes the value of multi-skilled support.
In the coming era where AI agents become widespread, traditional job roles are expected to further merge and be reorganized. Through the support of AI-PROX Company, we will accelerate autonomous 'automation' from the ground up, realizing corporate transformation and the creation of results."
