Success stories with Sactona
Panasonic Corporation
Sactona is used as the global performance management system "Eva-Net" that connects 600+ group companies around the world.
| What the client says | "Panasonic uses Sactona as its global consolidated business performance management system 'Eva-Net' which connects approximately 600 group companies around the world. Sactona's features of Excel User Interface, which is familiar to our associates around the world, and being web-based with no PC installation required, were advantages in implementing company-wide implementation in a short period of four months and in responding to large-scale organizational restructuring. Eva-Net (Sactona), which can grasp management information on a global consolidated basis in real time and flexibly respond to changes in the business environment, has become one of the most powerful tools in Panasonic's business management." |

| Background at the time of introduction |
・We had built and used a management accounting system within the consolidated accounting system, but we had to wait half a day to update the frequently changing budget figures. ・In the event of the organizational change, the system had to be stopped for at least one month to reflect such a change in it. ・Management methods differed for each domain, and some work had to be done outside the system to ensure uniformity. ・Reporting to the head office and reporting to the company occurred twice, and because there were many organizational layers, it tended to become a bucket brigade, and the time lag was large. |
| Decisive factors for selecting Sactona |
・Real-time responsiveness of updated data and information ・Flexibility to respond instantly when requirements change ・Ease of use due to the Excel UI ・Both overall optimization for the entire corporation and individual optimization for each company can be achieved. |
| Implementation Outcomes |
- Monthly forecast work duration was reduced from 7 days to 5.5 days after closing. With the time saved, we can now spend more time analyzing data and creating explanations. ・What used to take nearly a month to incorporate organizational change can now be done by simply modifying the master data. ・By standardizing the meeting materials created by each company, the number of forms was reduced to 1/4. |
