辻・本郷 ITコンサルティング and SATO-GROUP have signed a business partnership agreement to strengthen back-office support for mid-sized and small businesses using withDX.

辻・本郷 ITコンサルティング株式会社 has signed a business partnership agreement with SATO INTERNATIONAL GROUP and announced plans to strengthen back-office support through the professional-services co-creation platform withDX. The partnership aims to establish a framework for providing solutions across the entire back-office function, going beyond simple reciprocal referrals of services.
Against a backdrop of declining birth rates, an aging population and labor shortages in Japan, mid-sized and small businesses are under pressure to improve productivity and adopt digital technologies. The current lack of support that also provides practical guidance on implementing IT and using AI has been highlighted. The partnership aims to combine the strengths of both companies and establish an integrated support framework covering challenges across multiple areas, including accounting, human resources and labor management, payroll processing, IT implementation and BPO.
Going forward, the companies plan to provide end-to-end support across the entire back office of mid-sized and small businesses, with withDX at the core, while developing customers through the Itochu Corporation network. They also aim to establish social infrastructure that promotes DX adoption nationwide. ITC and SATO-GROUP will strengthen their integrated support framework from identifying challenges through implementation and adoption.
Comments from the companies' representatives expressed their intention to strengthen back-office collaboration from the perspective of overall optimization and stated their commitment to continuing to support the growth of mid-sized and small businesses.
