IBM Japan said it would accelerate the domestic rollout of IBM Enterprise Advantage, which supports enterprise-wide AI deployment, and aims to support around 10 implementations by year-end. This article covers only the explanations given at the briefing and the key points of the company's initiatives.
IBM Japan held a briefing in Tokyo on 25 August and announced that it would accelerate the domestic rollout of IBM Enterprise Advantage, which supports enterprise-wide AI adoption. This includes establishing a structure that provides end-to-end support, from analyzing and redesigning business processes to building and operating AI agents and managing return on investment.
Against a backdrop of a widening AI divide, the company emphasized the need to narrow the gap between organizations with access to AI and those without. It explained that it had established an AI operating model through its own practice, and that the ability to transform operations so they can work collaboratively with AI and run them across the enterprise would determine competitiveness.
IBM said that, as part of its internal initiatives, it has more than 4,000 AI agents working with employees and is generating benefits worth $4.5 billion. IBM Enterprise Advantage is being offered as a framework for continuing to apply best practices in using these capabilities.
