Circlace Strengthens AI Service Network in Kyushu

Circlace Inc. has officially moved to a new office in Fukuoka, aiming to enhance its AI service capabilities in the Kyushu area. This relocation coincides with a partnership with Copado and Pasona to deliver services that maximize the value of cloud utilization for enterprises. The event marking the office opening focused on the themes of "Beyond AI" and "Creating Results Through Cloud Utilization," featuring seminars on business transformation, internalization support utilizing AI, DevOps, and BPO. The vibrant event attracted 35 participants who engaged in meaningful discussions throughout the day.

What Does "Beyond AI" Mean?

The term "Beyond AI" refers to Circlace's vision for the future, where enterprises seamlessly integrate AI into their operations, resulting in a significant increase in value creation. In this new era of "AI Native Enterprises," the approach to work will undergo substantial transformation. Circlace aims to be a role model for this change, providing AI-related services that help address pressing social issues such as Japan's declining population and the shortage of highly-skilled IT professionals.
