System overview
■Background of the business alliance
In recent years, many companies in Japan have been slow to adopt AI/DX due to a lack of engineers, and there are concerns about job losses and future GDP declines due to delays in productivity improvement. Furthermore, the inefficient structure of the IT industry is exacerbating these problems and has become a major social issue. Survey conducted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 2019 (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry)
According to the survey results (2019 edition survey) on the latest trends and future projections of IT human resources, there was a shortage of 220,000 IT human resources in 2018, and a shortage of up to 790,000 people is expected by 2030. I am. For this reason, approximately 60% of major companies are eager to acquire outsourced engineers (Two
(according to Stones & Sons).
However, outsourcing engineers (securing engineers from SES
companies), which is one option to solve the engineer shortage, is in a difficult situation. The reason for this is that the multiple subcontracting structure unique to the SES industry and the procedures for securing engineers are often individualized and inefficient. One example of this is that the number of cases that are normally advanced is less than three per month.
Under these circumstances, our company provides a completely success-based fee-based service by thoroughly streamlining the process from project initiation to closing and reducing costs through the use of unique AI algorithms and DX. Through this, we are promoting efforts to reduce the time and man-hours as much as possible for companies wishing to secure outsourced engineers, and to help companies suffering from a shortage of engineers.
■This initiative
Against this background, our company aims to promote the development of unique AI-based solutions with the aim of streamlining business processes and reducing the time burden on customers. We have concluded a business partnership with. KwaiiAI is a one-stop company that provides everything from the development of cutting-edge technology in the algorithm field to its application, centered on engineers and researchers in the information science field from the University of Tokyo and Keio University.
Through the conclusion of this business alliance, the relationship between the two companies will be strengthened, and KAWAII Algorithm will be added to our AI-based solutions.
We will continue to develop the technology by receiving the Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithm, which is one of the modules. This allows us to analyze engineer skills at a detailed level, such as the strengths of each engineer and the wishes of the project side, and enables more advanced matching between engineers and companies that maximizes the performance of outsourced engineers than ever before. Masu. We will also work to further speed up the process of closing projects and promote matching that allows companies and engineers to mutually create new skills that only AI can do.
Our company will continue to aim to provide optimal SES services to our customers, and will do our best to resolve the increasingly serious engineer shortage problem.
