In-house file-sharing methods are not unified, and shadow IT is accelerating in collaboration with external parties

As a cosmetics manufacturer exclusively for beauty salons, Milbon sells hair care agents and hair dyes, and boasts a top-class market share in Japan. In order to respond to the rapid changes in the business environment in recent years, the company has implemented an "18-month mission" from June 2020, and in 2021, despite the corona disaster, recorded the highest sales ever. Currently, aiming to be No. 1 in Asia and the top 5 in the world, we are working on various businesses based on the two pillars of "Beauty Platform Concept" and "Sustainability Commitment" under the "2022-2026 Medium-term Business Concept".

In this beauty platform concept, DX is set as one of the main themes, and various activities such as "milbon:ID", an EC site for beauty salons and general customers, "Education iD" for online education, data marketing, and DX for field activities. measures are being taken. And the introduction of Box this time is part of that.

The company introduced Microsoft 365 in 2012 and unified the e-mail and bulletin board functions, but internal file sharing methods such as file servers, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft OneDrive were disjointed. About those days

Tetsuo Okazaki, Manager of the IT Infrastructure Section of the Information Planning Department, said, "Since there were multiple file sharing platforms, it took time to search for files in collaboration with other departments. Sometimes I didn't know where the files they were dealing with were, and there were times when it was difficult to take over."On the other hand, when it comes to means of sharing files with people outside the company, the use of free file transfer services, and individual employees using Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., and the use of shadow IT are progressing . "Therefore, we decided to prepare a company-wide common file-sharing platform to centrally manage files, streamline operations, strengthen security, and promote IT control," says Mr. Okazaki.
