  1. What happened

Context & Analysis

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.
