| What the client says |
“We initially introduced Sactona with the aim of achieving accuracy and speed in the formulation of our consolidated budget. It has also become easier to make changes to forms and we can respond quickly. Because Sactona allows us to perform calculations and aggregation in real time, we have been able to shift from low-value-added tasks e.g. aggregation to high-value-added tasks that we should be doing in the first place. From now on, we would like to make use of the excellence of Sactona to achieve rapid and flexible system operation in line with our strategy, and to realize advanced budget analysis that allows us to analyze consolidated budgets in multiple dimensions. |
