ITOCHU Corporation
In May 2023, SIGMAXYZ joined the Generative AI Research Lab launched by ITOCHU Corporation.
The lab, in which ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation and BrainPad Inc. also participate, uses the skills of each participating company, applying generative AI such as ChatGPT to support companies on their business transformation and new business development. Using its knowledge of generative AI and know-how for business applications, SIGMAXYZ proposed and narrowed down generative AI use cases in ITOCHU’s operations. We formulated business system concepts, created a roadmap for implementation, and provided implementation support.
In July 2023, ITOCHU began providing a business chat based on generative AI, Azure OpenAI to 4,200 of its employees.
Going forward, while we strive to boost business productivity by integrating the technology with its business systems, we aim to expand adoption to ITOCHU group companies and use the technology in their new business development, helping strengthen the value creation capabilities of the entire group.
