TDC Soft’s cloud workflow service “Styleflow” launches new features: “AI Agent Integration” and “Inter-Company Collaboration”

~Using AI to Reduce Operational Burdens While Balancing Group Governance and the Autonomy of Each Company~

Press Rerease

TDC Soft Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiroyoshi Kobayashi;hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) is pleased to announce the launch of two new features for its cloud workflow service “Styleflow”: “AI Agent Integration,” which supports MCP*—enabling direct operation of business systems via generative AI—and “Inter-Company Integration,” which enables workflow integration among parent companies, subsidiaries, and group companies.
*MCP (Model Context Protocol): A protocol that standardizes connections between AI hosts and external tools, enabling users to directly perform corporate tasks such as applications, approvals, and searches from Claude or ChatGPT.

Generative AI is currently evolving from a stage of simply “researching” information to that of an agent that “executes” tasks. However, seamless integration with business systems is essential for leveraging AI in business operations.At the same time, many companies still rely on email and Excel for business collaboration between parent and subsidiary companies or among group companies, making the streamlining and standardization of cross-organizational operations a major challenge.

As a system integrator with a track record of supporting numerous corporate systems, we have begun offering the MCP server functionality—which “connects AI with business operations”—and inter-company collaboration features that enable “seamless data flow across corporate boundaries” to address this challenge.

■Overview of New Features
1. AI Agent Integration via MCP Support
Styleflow provides MCP server functionality that supports MCP. This enables generative AI systems such as Claude and ChatGPT to directly perform operations on Styleflow—such as submitting requests, approving them, and searching.Business operations can be carried out while maintaining existing approval workflows, permission management, and audit logs, supporting the advancement of AI-powered business operations.
Furthermore, through interaction with AI agents, Styleflow creates a work environment where users can smoothly draft applications, check approval status, and search application data using only intuitive natural language instructions.

2. Inter-company Collaboration Features
It enables seamless workflow integration across different domains, allowing complex application and approval processes that span parent companies, subsidiaries, and group-wide departments to be executed as a single, integrated workflow.
While efficiently rolling out application formats and approval rules that should be standardized across the entire group, each company can maintain control over its own unique business processes, thereby achieving a balance between “strengthening group governance” and “preserving each company’s autonomy.”
Furthermore, when collaborating with group companies and business partners, it enables smooth approval requests and information sharing while maintaining each organization’s independent approval criteria and security measures.

■Future Outlook
Moving forward, we will continue to drive further business automation and process optimization centered around “Styleflow.” Guided by our purpose of “Making the World Smarter,” we will provide a robust infrastructure to support businesses in today’s rapidly changing environment, thereby contributing to the enhancement of corporate competitiveness and the sustainable advancement of group management.
