LumApps Enhances Nidec's Global Communication

Overview
LumApps, a leader in next-generation intranet solutions based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has recently shared a compelling case study on the application of its platform by Nidec Corporation, headquartered in Kyoto. The company aims to elevate employee engagement across its global network of over 300 group companies by enhancing communication through the LumApps platform.

Background of Implementation
Nidec faced significant challenges with its previous information-sharing platform. Access issues arose from its complicated operation, alongside a lack of notifications and bidirectional communication capabilities. These shortcomings led to stagnation in user access rates. They were also burdened by their Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) operations and faced an end-of-life situation for their existing systems.

As Nidec celebrated its 50th anniversary, the launch of a structured project focused on resolving these issues became imperative to boost synergy across the group and further promote the 'One Nidec' initiative. This led to their decision to seek a new information-sharing platform.

Choosing the Right Solution
Nidec conducted thorough evaluations of several solutions and recognized the unique strengths of LumApps as a fit for its global information-sharing requirements. Key features noted in LumApps included:

• - An intuitive interface allowing effortless posting and editing for all employees.
• - Bidirectional communication features like 'likes' and comments to foster interaction.
• - A SaaS model reducing system management workload.
• - Multilingual support and high scalability designed for global operations.
• - Seamless integration capabilities with tools like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
• - Video content distribution simplified through the use of LumApps Play.
• - A solid support system established in partnership with integrators ensuring post-implementation assistance.

Impact of Implementation
Since the integration of LumApps, the platform has played a pivotal role in furthering Nidec’s 'One Nidec' initiative. Compared to the previous system, impressive outcomes include a threefold increase in access rates and a 2.25-fold rise in postings. Additional benefits observed are as follows:

• - Enhanced bidirectional communication between employees.
• - Significant reduction in system management workload.
• - Cultivation of a sense of unity across the Nidec group.
• - Improvement in the quality and diversity of content shared.
• - Establishment of a feedback loop through access analytics for continuous improvement.

Looking Forward
Nidec has successfully completed LumApps' implementation across major domestic group companies and is set to extend globally to engage thousands of overseas employees. Utilizing multilingual capabilities and flexible authentication, Nidec aims to create a common information base accessible by its global subsidiaries to further boost employee engagement.

Building on the successes achieved, LumApps is committed to actively supporting Japanese companies as they expand internationally, enhancing employee engagement with innovative technologies. The platform plans to implement the latest generative AI capabilities and mobile-first services, continuing to evolve while adaptable to diverse working styles and global organizational structures, thereby facilitating company growth and transformation.
