Recently, SUNITED received the "LegalOn Tech User Award" at the "LegalOn User Meetup 2025 – Spark," an event for users hosted by LegalOn Technologies, held on December 10, 2025 (Wednesday). <SUNITED's Comprehensive DX and BPaaS Services> SUNITED provides comprehensive DX and BPaaS services that support management, operations, and systems in an integrated manner. We emphasize understanding challenges from the user's perspective by utilizing various SaaS and AI agents ourselves. Therefore, our strength lies in realizing "usable DX" that goes beyond mere tool implementation or fragmented support like BPO, delving into actual business operations. The efficiency improvement in legal operations that was recognized this time is one such example we have practiced ourselves. In response to the recent labor shortages and increasingly complex business structures, we provide support for understanding operations across corporate activities, including management departments, information systems, and marketing, along with optimal system selection and implementation in a collaborative manner.
