Rakus Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Takanori Nakamura, hereinafter "Rakus") has announced its AI strategy to accelerate business automation.
For over 20 years, Rakus has been engaged with the operations of Japanese companies. By 2030, Rakus aims for "complete automation" where operations are performed autonomously with minimal human involvement. Through a phased approach that "better supports" customers' existing business flows, Rakus will support customers in focusing on core business and achieving continuous business growth.
From "Collaborative AI" that shares roles with AI to "Complete Automation"
Rakus has supported customers in understanding their entire operations and performing them accurately and efficiently. This philosophy remains unchanged in the AI era.
For back-office operations where accuracy is required, human confirmation and approval are always necessary.
Rakus will start with "Collaborative AI," where humans, rule-based systems, and AI work together to complete operations in the most optimal way.
Through the following three approaches, Rakus will shift towards "Complete Automation," where operations proceed autonomously with humans only performing final confirmation and approval.
1. Implement AI by understanding the entire operation
Because Rakus understands the entire operation of customers, it can incorporate AI into existing business flows. Rakus will propose AI functions that are easy to introduce and effective for customers' operations.
2. Continuously expand the automation area and shift to "Complete Automation"
Rakus will expand the automation area in response to the evolution of AI and customers' business conditions. By continuing to use the services, human intervention in operations will be minimized, and the areas where customers feel more convenient will increase.
3. Support until AI "settles in"
AI implementation involves many hurdles, such as data preparation, adaptation to business rules, operational design, and clarification of responsibility. Rakus will support customers until AI is settled in their business flows.
