Govtech Partner Program

The Govtech Partner Program was established in 2022 to promote administrative DX.

Ever since LINE introduced corporate services in 2012, Hakuhodo DY ONE has promoted one-to-one communication between users and governments or companies that utilize LINE through DialogOne®(*2), a messaging management solution it developed and provides. Hakuhodo DY ONE’s DialogOne boasts a long record of supporting major companies representing a wide variety of industries as well as governments, such as Shibuya Ward and Yamaguchi Prefecture, in moving their services online(*3). In recognition of these ongoing efforts and achievements, Hakuhodo DY ONE maintained its certification as a govtech partner.

Hakuhodo DY ONE has been recognized as the highest-ranking Premier Technology Partner, communications category, under the LINE Yahoo Partner Program, which certifies partner companies that develop and sell various corporate services offered by LY Corporation. Under the certification badge program for certified companies, Hakuhodo DY ONE has been awarded three certification badges as a company, the most for any one company in Japan, and four certification badges as a group(*4). Furthermore, Hakuhodo DY ONE became a CX Partner in fiscal 2024, and along with Hakuhodo DY Media Partners, was also certified as a Premier Sales Partner for the first half of fiscal 2024. All these certifications are in recognition of our initiatives that utilize LY Corporation’s marketing and data solutions(*5).
