Introduction

Yoshidumi Information Corp., based in Tokyo, proudly announces its collaboration with the Tokushima Prefectural Office to implement Google Workspace and the AI tool Gemini for approximately 5,000 staff members. This initiative aims to enhance public services and support diverse working styles through digital transformation (DX).

Implementation Overview

Tokushima Prefecture has been actively pursuing initiatives to improve citizen services and embrace varied work methods. Following a competitive bidding process, Google Workspace was selected, marking the beginning of its role as a new communication platform for the office’s workforce of 5,000.

Achievements and Utilization

Rapid Adoption of Gemini AI

The Gemini AI has gained significant traction among employees due to its ease of use and impressive accuracy. Currently, the active user rate stands at an impressive 75%. It has broadened usage across various business functions, leading to noticeable productivity improvements beyond traditional tasks like meeting minutes preparation.

Employee-Driven App Development

Employees have been proactively utilizing tools like Google Apps Script and Gemini to advance operational efficiency. This self-initiated approach reflects a significant cultural shift within the organization, encouraging innovation and engagement among staff members.

App Sharing Catalog

An internal portal has been established, featuring an app sharing catalog where employees can register and view created applications. This catalog includes tools for combining and editing PDFs, importing eml files to Gmail, and various other applications to support and enhance daily operations.

Support from Yoshidumi Information

Yoshidumi Information facilitated the transition to this new environment by implementing four training sessions aimed at reducing psychological barriers among staff during the switch.

Feedback from Tokushima Prefectural Officials

The officials at Tokushima Prefecture emphasize the importance of understanding and leveraging Google Workspace's innovative design principles.
