Launch of "AI Adoption Support Consortium" by Technology-Focused Companies to Support Full-Scale Introduction of AI Agents

Many domestic companies are transitioning from "consideration" to "execution" in the phase of introducing AI agents within their organizations. However, unlike the mere utilization of generative AI or the introduction of other tool-based systems, leveraging AI agents requires an integrated approach to "introduction objectives, implementation, and operation." Furthermore, with technology evolving at a rapid pace, it is difficult for individual user companies to discern the correct path. To overcome these "introduction barriers" and "operational barriers" for companies, we believe that by bringing together IT companies with expertise in AI utilization and establishing a comprehensive support system, we can contribute to the technological advancement and AI utilization of Japanese companies. With this in mind, we are pleased to announce the launch of the "AI Adoption Support Consortium," with Nihon Microsoft Corporation participating as a supporting company.

The "AI Adoption Support Consortium" will launch a marketplace (https://www.ai-consortium.jp) today to showcase the services and products of its member companies in a one-stop manner. We will also begin recruiting members for the consortium from technology-focused IT companies involved in supporting the introduction of AI agents. By joining the consortium as a member, companies will be able to feature their products and services on the marketplace.
