uSonar Recognized as a Select Partner in the Snowflake AI Data Cloud Services Partner Program
— Supporting Corporate Data Integration and Utilization in the AI Era with LBC, Aiming to Become a Corporate Data Infrastructure Company —

uSonar Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Katsuhito Nagatake; hereinafter "uSonar") is pleased to announce that it has been recognized as a Select partner in the Snowflake AI Data Cloud Services Partner program within the Snowflake Partner Network, operated by Snowflake Inc. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Tatsuro Ukita; hereinafter "Snowflake").
With this partnership, we will further strengthen our support for data integration and AI utilization for companies using the Snowflake environment by leveraging uSonar's corporate database, LBC*1. While the impact of this matter on our current fiscal performance is minor, we will continue to promote this initiative as part of our commitment to enhancing long-term corporate value.

Background of Recognition: uSonar's Goal to Become a Corporate Data Infrastructure Company

uSonar believes that as AI becomes more prevalent within companies, the importance of the "quality," "structure," and "freshness" of the data that forms the basis of AI decision-making will continue to grow. We aim to further refine our services, centered on LBC, and become a "Corporate Data Infrastructure Company" that contributes to strengthening the management foundations of user companies.
To this end, uSonar began providing LBC on the Snowflake Marketplace in November 2025*2 and acquired five patents related to corporate data in March 2026*3. This Select partner recognition is an extension of these initiatives. The Snowflake AI Data Cloud Services Partner Select designation is awarded to companies that possess specialized expertise in the sales and implementation of Snowflake products.

Comment from Kei Sakuma, Executive Officer and Head of Partner Alliances, Snowflake K.K.

We sincerely welcome uSonar Co., Ltd.'s recognition as a Select partner in the Snowflake Partner Network's AI Data Cloud Services Partner program.
As the corporate adoption of generative AI expands, establishing a reliable data foundation that can be utilized across the organization is more critical than ever to maximize its value.
By combining uSonar's long-standing expertise in corporate data maintenance, cleansing, and integration with the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, we expect to further accelerate data and AI utilization among Japanese companies.
We look forward to partnering with uSonar Co., Ltd. to support our customers' data utilization and business transformation.

Comment from Katsuhito Nagatake, President and CEO, uSonar Co., Ltd.

To effectively leverage corporate data for management and sales, it is essential to correctly connect data dispersed both inside and outside the company to gain a deeper understanding of the business. With this Snowflake Select partner recognition, we will promote the creation of an environment where our corporate data, built and updated over more than 35 years, can be combined with the various data held by our customers for more advanced analysis and utilization.
Through our collaboration with Snowflake, we will evolve LBC into a new corporate data infrastructure, contributing to more accurate decision-making and business growth for our customers. Furthermore, by expanding the scope of data utilization and continuously generating new value, we will drive our company's long-term business growth.

Future Initiatives: "Corporate Data Quality" is the Key to AI Success

Since the emergence of AI, companies have been increasingly utilizing AI in various areas, including sales, marketing, management analysis, customer success, and credit management. There is a growing recognition that "data quality," which serves as the foundation for AI model judgments and analysis, is the key to maximizing AI performance.
Meanwhile, customer information, sales data, marketing information, and supplier information in core systems are often scattered throughout companies. Even within the same company, information is frequently not correctly linked due to duplicate company names, inconsistencies in notation by department or branch, and failure to reflect organizational changes. Such scattered and inconsistent data quality has long been pointed out as an obstacle to data-driven management, and we believe it has become a management issue that can no longer be ignored in the full-scale AI era.
Since our founding in 1990, uSonar has independently built and updated the corporate database "LBC," supporting corporate data utilization through cleansing and data integration at the corporate group, company, and business unit levels.
Following this recognition as a "Snowflake AI Data Cloud Services Partner" Select partner, we will support the improvement of "data quality" for user companies currently utilizing Snowflake's AI Data Cloud services.

Use Case Examples Supported by Snowflake × LBC

Specifically, we anticipate support in the following use cases:

• Assigning LBC codes to customer data on Snowflake to resolve inconsistencies and duplicates in company names
• Matching supplier data with LBC to visualize untapped companies and white space
• Integrating sales and marketing data by company and group level to improve the accuracy of ABM and targeting
• Maintaining the quality, structure, and freshness of the corporate master data referenced by AI agents and generative AI
• Building a corporate data infrastructure that can be utilized for management analysis, credit management, and sales strategy planning
*Implementation effects vary depending on the state of the data held by the company and the scope of the target.
