Success stories with Sactona
Toei Animation Co., Ltd.
For the business transformation to the high value-added and more productive operations we decided to introduce Sactona, an EPM application platform that reduces routine tasks and improves efficiency.
| What the client says | “In order to change into a department that carries out high-value-added work, which is our policy as the accounting department, we have decided to introduce Sactona, a business performance management tool that leads to the reduction and streamlining of routine work. Along with the introduction, we have not only reviewed and improved our previous budget formulation and performance forecast compilation work, but we have also been able to manage and analyze the collected information, which was time-consuming and imprecise with our previous management methods, in a multifaceted and detailed way by using the Sactona database, which has helped us to formulate management strategies.” |
|---|---|
| Background at the time of introduction |
・At our company, we have traditionally used a process of “distributing Excel files, collecting them and then tabulating the results” to create budgets and forecast business performance, which has required a lot of time and effort. ・In addition, we have faced the risk of work becoming dependent on the skills of the person in charge of accounting for tasks such as progress management and tabulation, and we were considering introducing a system or tool that would directly lead to increased operational efficiency, including the elimination of this risk. |
| Decisive factors for selecting Sactona |
・Because Sactona is based on Excel, there is little need for additional training for users, and there is little resistance to new introductions. ・With database management on the Sactona server, it is easy to extract and analyze information from multiple perspectives. ・There is a high degree of freedom when customizing materials and when adapting the system to organizational changes, etc. |
| Implementation Outcomes |
■The time-consuming data aggregation process, which depended on the abilities of the staff in charge, could be automated by setting it up in advance on Sactona, leading to significant time savings and improved operational efficiency. ■It became possible to provide information smoothly for the multifaceted and multilayered information analysis required by management, such as by department, by business and by work IP (intellectual property). |
