Introduction

Suzuyo Shinwart Co., Ltd., led by CEO Masaki Honda, has recently announced the integration of its HCM solution, POSITIVE, by the National Research and Development Agency, Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). This integration is aimed at enhancing the human resources systems within JST and driving digital transformation (DX) in the organization.

Background of the System Replacement

The previous system had been in use for about eight years, during which extensive customization had diminished its intended advantages as a packaged solution. With each legal revision and policy shift, individual modifications became necessary, complicating the system further. The adoption of modern work styles, such as telecommuting and flexible hours, made the situation more intricate, leading to challenges in seamless system operations. The old setup struggled with data integration across departments, thereby limiting JST's efforts in advancing HR reform and utilizing human resources data effectively.

Reasons for Choosing 'POSITIVE'

JST conducted a bidding process based on its procurement regulations to select the new system. Suzuyo Shinwart proposed a system architecture based on POSITIVE that met JST's requirements, which was a critical factor in the selection process. JST valued the solution's ability to meet specifications with minimal add-on development. The inherent flexibility and extensibility of POSITIVE became apparent during implementational discussions, aligning with JST's goal of minimizing customization—a significant issue with the previous system. By leveraging POSITIVE's standard features and operational ingenuity, JST found viable solutions to many requirements.

Benefits of Implementing 'POSITIVE'

The HR department has observed significant improvements in the issuance of personnel decisions, allowing for pre-issuance tasks without restrictions from previous month's payroll deadlines. While prior processes required manual preparation of documentation through tools like Excel, POSITIVE enables direct output of forms, facilitating immediate internal distribution and notifications. This streamlined process not only reduces workload but also minimizes transcription errors and omissions. Furthermore, payroll processing has seen enhanced flexibility, with the ability to address individual cases systematically, improving operational efficiency.
