Tokyo, Japan – August 28, 2024 – FPT Software Japan (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Do Van Khac; hereinafter referred to as FPT Japan) and SCSK ServiceWare Corporation (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Atsushi Watanabe; hereinafter referred to as SCSK ServiceWare) have officially signed a partnership agreement to offer the “akaBot In-house Development Support Service.” This initiative is designed to provide comprehensive training using the RPA software provided by akaBot, a flagship automation solution of FPT.
Background
Developing and operating Robotic Process Automation (RPA) requires specialized knowledge and skills. In recent years, companies have faced various challenges when implementing RPA, including rapidly changing business environments, a shortage of IT personnel, and the emergence of new technologies. These challenges necessitate the continuous review and revision of business processes, increasing the burden on internal operations.
To address these issues, SCSK Serviceware provides a variety of training programs for both companies and individuals. They believe that by equipping field personnel with the necessary RPA development and operational skills, business efficiency can be optimized in line with on-site conditions. The “akaBot In-House Development Support Service” aims to improve back-office efficiency by providing the knowledge and skills needed to implement automation processes on the akaBot platform and integrate new technologies such as AI-OCR.
Partnership Overview
The “akaBot In-House Development Support Service” offers diverse programs designed to enhance workforce capabilities in various fields, with a focus on implementation on the akaBot platform. This includes support for human resource development and operational assistance.
Firstly, human resource development support includes a business selection course to assist in evaluating RPA business needs, guiding business leaders on how to select tasks suitable for RPA. The implementation team is then equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to utilize akaBot’s features (such as akaBot Hub, Studio, Center, Insights, etc.).
Additionally, SCSK Serviceware’s services offer support for various issues, from RPA development and operation to post-release maintenance, aiding in the establishment of in-house development. With extensive experience in RPA inquiries, the company can provide high-quality support promptly.

Addressing RPA Implementation Challenges
Both companies aim to tackle the various business challenges associated with RPA implementation. Advancing in-house RPA development and operation can significantly reduce costs associated with periodic RPA adjustments and increase development speed. Furthermore, the training programs will reduce the burden on implementation teams, allowing them to focus on more strategic tasks.
By accumulating RPA know-how within the company, the range of RPA implementation and human resource development extends beyond the trained areas. FPT Japan and SCSK Serviceware believe that this partnership will not only enhance business efficiency across companies but also foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation among Japan’s workforce, in the face of changing environments such as declining birth rates, aging populations, and the spread of IT.
