Itochu Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC) has unveiled its latest offering, “C-NOAH,” a cloud-based service designed to provide financial institutions with business applications and system infrastructure. Announced on the 23rd, the service includes credit management, loan support applications, and a secure system infrastructure tailored to meet the stringent security standards of the financial sector, delivered in a SaaS (Software as a Service) format.
C-NOAH equips financial institutions with essential applications and high-grade infrastructure to streamline operations. Users can choose from a suite of CTC-developed tools for credit management and loan processes, along with 10 AI-powered modules that include features such as AI-generated meeting minutes and chat functionalities. These modules offer flexibility for customization, enabling firms to align the service with their operational needs and innovate new applications.
The system infrastructure supports multiple leading cloud platforms, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It also facilitates multi-cloud configurations, allowing organizations to combine different services to meet specific objectives. Financial-grade security, system monitoring, and operational management are available as standard services. Additionally, companies developing proprietary applications can leverage the infrastructure in a PaaS (Platform as a Service) model.
A standout feature of C-NOAH is its support for Small Specialist Models (SSMs)—relatively compact generative AI systems fine-tuned for specialized industries or tasks. By integrating multiple SSMs, organizations can obtain highly accurate and tailored insights, such as data extraction and risk analysis. The system also includes an “AI agent” capability, enabling the AI to autonomously select the most suitable SSM for a given task. This dynamic mechanism enhances the system’s ability to handle complex operations by adapting to the context, background, and situational nuances, ultimately boosting operational efficiency.
The service operates on a subscription model, with monthly fees determined by the number of applications and the amount of infrastructure utilized. This approach minimizes upfront costs associated with infrastructure development and application creation, allowing for rapid deployment and scalability.
CTC has set a target of achieving ¥3 billion in sales within three years through the rollout of C-NOAH.
