Mr. Shusaku Torizawa, a specialist in IoT security and blockchain management at Beyond Blockchain Corporation, shared insights into the potential for co-creation with Ricoh Industrial Solutions' business unit.
In the current phase, representing the first stage of co-creation, the focus is on 'Enhancing Value through Co-Marketing/Co-Sales,' progressing with collaborative planning in marketing. The emphasis is on proactively creating order opportunities, engaging end-users, and increasing profitability as co-creation value. The second phase (medium to long term) of co-creation revolves around 'Enhancing Value through API Integration.' Initiatives such as discussion forums and study sessions have already commenced to ensure the authenticity of terminal-based data, a crucial aspect in advancing digital transformation.
Looking ahead to the third phase named Beyond TRIBUS, Mr. Torizawa expressed a desire for 'further co-creation.' He mentioned, 'I believe that the advisory business in building and managing big data (consulting business) and the auditing support business for constructing and managing data with ensured authenticity (certification business and audit DX support business) will become new ventures contributing to solving societal challenges.'
