What happened
NTT-AT and Open have started connecting Open's TotalAgility orchestration platform with NTT-AT's WinActor RPA tool to offer a 'business execution foundation' that fuses AI understanding and judgment with reliable task execution.
Why it matters
The pair say the combined setup lets AI handle understanding and judgment while the other side executes tasks reliably, so companies can move AI use from proof-of-concept to actual operations, they say.
WHO IT HITSEnterprise IT teams and business-process owners at manufacturers, financial firms, insurers, and local governments that want to connect AI decision-making to their existing systems may gain a way to run AI in production rather than in trials, according to the two companies.

The tie-up comes as Japanese companies are rapidly adopting generative AI and AI agents, but many are finding that AI alone cannot complete business tasks. Challenges such as linking with existing systems, governance, and reliable execution have become clear, according to the announcement.
By combining TotalAgility's orchestration with WinActor's ability to operate ERP, core systems, legacy systems, and SaaS, the two companies aim to provide an environment where AI use can be continuously operated while considering quality, cost, and governance. They position hybrid automation as a way to connect AI judgment to concrete business outcomes.
The companies plan to promote the collaboration through seminars, exhibitions, and demonstration projects, targeting a broad range of industries. The effort is presented as a step toward supporting corporate digital transformation and sustained business change.
