Solasto's Major Transition to Google Workspace
Solasto, a company specializing in medical, nursing, and childcare services, based in Minato, Tokyo, has embarked on an ambitious plan to enhance its operational capabilities through the adoption of Google Workspace across its workforce of approximately 30,000 employees. This strategic move is part of the company's mid-term management plan, which emphasizes the integration of human capital management with technology to drive significant improvements in work practices and operational efficiency.
Historically, Solasto operated multiple business systems that resulted in fragmented information spread across various offices and personal computers. This compartmentalization led to challenges such as a lack of knowledge accumulation and operation dependability, which hindered productivity. Additionally, a cumbersome reliance on complex business processes and Excel usage further stifled opportunities for optimization.
Recognizing these challenges, Solasto's management determined that a cloud-centric IT infrastructure would provide the necessary foundation to revamp the company's work practices. The introduction of Google Workspace is designed to consolidate information management and enable real-time collaboration, encouraging teamwork across different departments and office locations. By leveraging tools like the generative AI tool, Gemini, Solasto aims to enhance efficiency in administrative tasks such as document creation and information organization, allowing staff to focus more on their core responsibilities. This initiative is expected to lead to improved service quality.
Moreover, transitioning to a cloud-based environment will enable Solasto to share and utilize information as a valuable asset, facilitating the reassessment of work practices and business processes. By streamlining operations, the company anticipates a substantial improvement in productivity. Alongside security enhancements and simplified IT management resulting from cloud operations, there are also expectations for long-term cost savings through an optimized licensing structure.
