Expansion of System Development in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area and Sales of Education-Related Equipment Within the Prefecture

Among private-sector companies, the automation and labour-saving use of AI in business operations progressed, while the introduction of automated transport robots and on-site consulting services increased at manufacturing sites. Meanwhile, although revenue grew with increased sales of Windows 11-related equipment, profit margins declined, and costs increased for the standardisation of training related to core business systems in the healthcare sector.」

「システム関連事業におきましては、受託開発ではスマートフォン向けアプリの開発や、新潟をニアショア開発拠点とする受託案件が好調に推移しました。民間企業分野では、AIを活用した業務の自動化・省人化が進展しており、製造現場では自動搬送ロボットの導入および現場コンサルティング業務が増加しました。一方、Windows11関連の機器販売増加に伴い売上は伸長したものの利益率が低下したほか、ヘルスケア分野における基幹業務システムの教育標準化対応では、コストが増加しました。」
