Dentsu Research Implements Positive HCM Solution for Nomura Real Estate Group

Dentsu Research, a leading technology firm located in Minato, Tokyo, is excited to announce the introduction of its integrated Human Capital Management (HCM) solution, 'Positive,' to three companies in the Nomura Real Estate Group. This groundbreaking implementation is set to benefit approximately 3,000 employees and will officially begin operations in June 2026.

Background of the Implementation

The Nomura Real Estate Group has prioritized digital transformation (DX) as part of its mid-term management plan starting from the fiscal year 2023. This strategy aims to create value through effective human resource management and operational efficiency across the group. As part of this comprehensive approach, the group sought to modernize its human resources and payroll systems to significantly boost productivity.

In evaluating potential systems, 'Positive' was chosen due to its extensive standard features and capabilities for group management, which align perfectly with the group’s operational requirements. Dentsu Research's profound expertise in HR and payroll processes, coupled with their ability to customize solutions for unique corporate needs, played a pivotal role in the decision to use 'Positive' as the next HR system.

Key Features of the Positive Implementation

1. Enhancing HR and Payroll Operations

With the introduction of 'Positive,' the three companies within the Nomura Real Estate Group will experience upgraded HR and payroll systems that foster standardized business processes. This standardization is projected to increase accuracy and efficiency, potentially reducing working hours by around 16%. Moreover, further centralized management of HR data is in the works, which will facilitate quicker implementation of the system across other group companies and lower operational costs.

2. Rich Standard Features and Flexible System Development

'Positive' has a solid track record, having been successfully implemented in over 3,000 major companies across Japan for more than 20 years. Its wealth of standard features encompasses all necessary functions typically required for HR and payroll, as well as compliance with legal regulations. This helps to significantly reduce the need for custom developments, which was a key factor in its selection. Additionally, Dentsu Research's development capabilities allow for the integration of 'Positive' with other systems to streamline operations and improve overall efficiency.

3. Methodical Project Management for Stable Implementation

As the Nomura Real Estate Group approaches the end of support for its previous system, a reliable and well-planned transition to the new system is essential. Dentsu Research acted as a dedicated partner during the planning stage, utilizing its extensive experience with similar implementations across a variety of group companies. This involvement ensured standardized operations and effective management of the migration process, culminating in a smooth and successful launch meeting all deadlines.

Future Prospects

Dentsu Research is committed to further enhance the functionality of the 'Positive' platform by continuously providing IT solutions and services that meet diverse needs in an ever-evolving market.
