Yoshizumi Information Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Harumichi Akita, hereinafter referred to as "Yoshizumi Information"), a Premier Partner (Service / Co-Sell) of Google Workspace, is pleased to announce that it has supported the company-wide deployment of the generative AI service Google Workspace with Gemini for Nippon Lifeline Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director President: Keisuke Suzuki, hereinafter referred to as "Nippon Lifeline"), a medical company engaged in the import, manufacturing, and sales of medical devices, primarily in the cardiovascular field. This support has promoted voluntary AI utilization by employees and achieved company-wide operational improvements and an update of corporate culture.
Background and Challenges of Implementation Nippon Lifeline foresaw that the utilization of generative AI would become indispensable in fields requiring a high level of safety. In an industry where information leakage risks and safety assurance are strictly scrutinized, they determined that "simply prohibiting use would induce 'shadow AI' (hidden usage) beyond management control, and would not be a fundamental solution." Therefore, instead of a mere prohibition of use, they chose a path that balances governance and convenience by providing Gemini as an official infrastructure, ensuring advanced security for business use. Aiming for company-wide deployment of Gemini, they launched a project not just to distribute the tool, but to promote its organizational utilization so that employees could use it safely and effectively in their actual work.
Reasons for Choosing Yoshizumi Information's Support In selecting a partner, Yoshizumi Information was evaluated for its deep knowledge across the entire Google Cloud platform, including not only Gemini but also BigQuery and Looker, and for providing proposals that looked ahead to future data utilization. Furthermore, the content of "AI Driven Premium," which emphasizes practical application to actual work through workshops rather than mere operational explanations, matched Nippon Lifeline's goal of autonomous utilization by employees, making it the decisive factor.
Results of Implementation Support Through training and Q&A sessions conducted via Yoshizumi Information's "AI Driven Premium," employees' psychological barriers towards AI have been lowered, leading to the creation of numerous specific operational improvement cases. ・Significant Increase in Gemini Users: Following the training, the number of active users increased by approximately 30%. A culture has emerged where employees proactively share "what was good about Gemini," moving from a passive stance of "having to learn it."
・Fostering Culture through "Gemini Newsletter": The Information Systems Department produces and releases a monthly short video content series, "Gemini Newsletter," which clearly explains how to use AI. Gemini itself is used in the production of these videos, actively demonstrating the convenience of AI within the company.
・On-site Operational Efficiency Improvements:
