      Business Overview

      KPMG Ignition Tokyo (KIT) aims to maximize the value of KPMG Japan’s services by integrating advanced technologies with professional expertise. Our initiatives are centered around four key focus areas.

      • Data & Analytics

        We provide an analytics platform capable of handling all types of data — financial and non-financial, structured and unstructured. By combining insights derived from data with professional expertise, we create new value for KPMG’s services.

      • Process Transformation

        We optimize solutions developed by KPMG Global for the Japanese market and develop unique additional features. This not only drives the digital transformation (DX) of KPMG services (such as auditing) but also supports operational transformation for client organizations.

      • AI

        We apply AI technologies across various digital platforms and solutions, exploring and establishing optimal technologies and methodologies to integrate professional knowledge with AI.

      • Cloud Services

        Based on the concept of "Infrastructure as Code", we promote the automation, efficiency, and advancement of cloud infrastructure. By providing infrastructure services that combine stability and flexibility, we contribute to improving operational productivity.
