Fractional CIO Service

To achieve an appropriate return on IT investments at U.S. subsidiaries, it is essential to develop and execute a mid-term IT roadmap aligned with business objectives. In practice, however, securing talent capable of overseeing strategy development, planning, schedule and budget control, system development, talent development, vendor governance, and headquarters coordination is challenging. USJP supplements gaps in IT management expertise and provides CIO-level capabilities on a part-time, ongoing basis.

IT System and Vendor Selection

With the widespread adoption of cloud and AI, IT has shifted from “ownership” to “usage.” While the U.S. market offers a broad range of cloud and AI services, vendors that meet the expectations of Japanese companies remain limited. USJP evaluates functionality, service scope, cost, scalability, organizational fit, and adoption risk to support the selection of optimal systems and vendors for each client.

System Implementation PMO

The enhancement of core systems such as ERP, CRM, and SCM has long been a cornerstone of operational efficiency. These initiatives typically require significant investment beyond IT design and development, including process reengineering, organizational and staffing realignment, and training and change management. As AI advances reshape development cost structures, the ROI of traditional off-the-shelf systems warrants reassessment. USJP participates as the client-side PMO, driving projects with a focus on scope optimization and ROI maximization.

AI Fast Track

An AI implementation service designed for organizations that prioritize internal consensus and information governance. Working alongside client employees, we evaluate new AI-driven revenue opportunities and cost-reduction potential. We develop implementation plans acceptable to headquarters and provide end-to-end support—from budgeting and build-out to process design, training, and continuous improvement—for U.S. subsidiaries seeking disciplined, scalable transformation.

AI Navigator

An agile implementation service that prioritizes speed and practical outcomes over formality. Rather than relying on a master plan, AI is introduced and tested incrementally across ready-to-deploy use cases. Through iterative experimentation, we refine adoption approaches and elevate employees’ AI skills and engagement. We also design low-risk processes and systems to mitigate data-leakage concerns and leverage leading cloud platforms to reduce vendor lock-in. While making every employee an AI expert is unrealistic, we help build organizations where many employees actively and effectively use AI.
