　　New Business Opportunities in Back-Office Digital Transformation

The back-office systems landscape is undergoing a major transformation. At the same time, new service solutions—previously difficult to offer—are beginning to emerge.

Among small and medium-sized enterprises, which have traditionally relied on separate Excel files, packaged software, and on-premise systems for each individual operation, there is growing demand for cloud-based solutions that enable integrated management of back-office functions.

Challenging the perception that cloud systems are “not customizable,” a new generation of cloud-based back-office services now allows for tailored solutions. This has opened the door to market segments that were once difficult to access, creating new business opportunities.

At SmileWorks, we are launching a new Partner Program designed to promote joint development of these new business models.

Agenda:

1. Market Trends and the Current Landscape of Back-Office DX

2. Overview of the Cloud ERP “SmileWorks”

3. Case Studies and Future Opportunities for New Business Development

4. Introduction to the SmileWorks Partner Program

Speaker: Tsuneyuki Sakamoto, President & CEO, SmileWorks Inc.
Mr. Sakamoto has held key roles in corporate sales, marketing, and systems planning at a major distribution company. He later worked at a security startup and was responsible for software marketing at IBM Japan. After leaving IBM, he founded a receivables finance venture which was later acquired by NTT Data. He then served as an executive at Yayoi Co., Ltd., and currently serves as President & CEO of SmileWorks Inc.
