Exploring the Future of Partner Business in the AI Era: Accelerating Pay-Per-Use Models

Online Seminar on the Future of Partner Business

The online seminar titled "The Frontline of Partner Business in the AI Era: Accelerating Pay-Per-Use Models and Building Next-Generation Ecosystems" is set to take place on July 7, 2026. Co-hosted by Bplats Inc. and Partner Prop Co., this event aims to address the urgent need for transformation in partner business models influenced by the rise of AI services.

Bplats, known for its subscription integration platform, has partnered with Partner Prop to delve into the evolution of partner businesses moving away from traditional sales models toward more flexible, usage-based approaches. Kōsuke Fukuyama, Director of Cross-Business Promotion at Partner Prop, will be a featured speaker alongside Kenji Fujita, the CEO of Bplats.

The Shift to Pay-Per-Use Models

The rapid adoption of pay-per-use models across IT businesses has highlighted significant challenges. These include managing complex commercial flows and invoicing tasks that are now reaching their limits. Additionally, the industry faces the pressing issue of breaking free from reliance on painful and repetitive sales approaches, shifting towards a collaborative model where partners actively contribute to customer success.

The seminar will address these challenges and explore how to build a next-generation ecosystem that promotes a co-creation model. With the common barrier of invoicing, often described as a "bucket relay," stifling businesses, the importance of a subscription-based commercial flow management system designed for pay-per-use models cannot be overlooked.

Expert Insights

Fujita will discuss the end of the traditional "bucket relay" invoicing process, exploring innovative ways to establish new partnerships in the pay-per-use landscape. In another session, Fukuyama will highlight the potential for revenue growth that occurs after a sale, encouraging partners to understand, sell, and enhance customer usage of products.

The online seminar is free to attend but requires prior registration. Participants will gain valuable insights and practical approaches for overcoming the operational challenges related to pay-per-use models and accelerating their business strategies.
