Mid-Term IT Planning

The value of IT within companies continues to evolve with changes in technology and management approaches. While past investments focused on cost-cutting and efficiency, today’s IT spending increasingly targets product enhancement and improved customer experience.
USJP works with client executives to develop an IT vision aligned with business strategy and helps formulate mid-term IT plans covering infrastructure, application, AI, talent, security, and ROI.

IT System and Vendor Selection

The shift to cloud computing has transformed IT from “ownership” to “usage.” In the U.S., cloud and AI services are rapidly expanding, but vendors that meet Japanese companies’ quality standards remain limited.
USJP analyzes function, cost, reliability, scalability, and risk from multiple perspectives to support the selection of optimal systems and vendors for each client.

IT Project Management

To improve operational efficiency, enhancement of core systems such as ERP, CRM, and SCM is essential. Successful implementation of such projects requires not only technical expertise but also project management, process optimization, change management, and vendor oversight skills.
USJP supports project success by serving as project managers or PMO members, supplementing capabilities often lacking among local staff or vendors.

AI Implementation

With AI technologies evolving rapidly, their adoption is becoming a key driver of productivity and profitability. USJP supports the creation of new business models through its AI FAST TRACK service, as well as the development and execution of AI implementation plans for optimizing supply chains and customer service.
We also help clients build “learning organizations” through initiatives such as employee AI literacy training and fostering AI-driven work cultures via our AI Empowerment service.

Contract CIO Service  

Maximizing IT investment returns at U.S. subsidiaries requires expertise across a wide range of areas—strategic IT planning, budgeting, system development and maintenance, talent development, vendor management, and HQ collaboration. However, securing in-house IT professionals with such a broad skill set is not always feasible.
USJP supplements or acts on behalf of internal IT managers, delivering the expertise and services needed. Clients can effectively leverage a part-time CIO in a cost-efficient manner.
