The number of IT devices and applications is more than twice the number of employees, making it difficult to understand usage status and creating a heavy burden on management.

Hanshin Construction, the only general construction company in the Hankyu Hanshin Toho Group, engages in "civil engineering projects" such as infrastructure development, river roads, railway facilities, and bridge equipment, and "basic projects" that carry out foundation work that corresponds to conditions such as ground and geology. The mainstays of our business are the ``Construction Business,'' which covers everything from planning to construction completion, and the ``Renewal Business,'' which involves renovating railway facilities, existing buildings, and condominiums. Mr. Yasuhito Waki, General Manager of the Digital Management Promotion Office, General Manager of the Corporate Planning Department of the Corporate Management Headquarters, and Deputy General Manager of the Renewal Business Department, said of the company's characteristics, ``People tend to think that our the Company does a lot of group-related work, but we have a lot of group-related sales. Our sales to customers outside the group are higher than our sales to customers outside the group.In particular, our railway-related construction technology is highly regarded, and we are expanding our business widely across the country.''

Now, at the company, some of its employees use multiple PCs and are also provided with smartphones. In addition, tablets are sometimes used for some tasks, bringing the total number of IT devices used for work to 850, several times the number of employees. Regarding this point, Yuka Kawaminami of the Digital Management Promotion Office said,``Specifically, there are PCs used for normal office work, high-spec PCs for CAD, PCs taken to the field, mobile PCs, etc. In addition, there are a wide variety of applications that have been introduced, and in addition to about 10 tools that are commonly used by each department, each department also handles design, process management, document management, etc. We are introducing easy-to-use tools and SaaS."

Previously, when employees joined the company, they were given PCs with various applications installed, including expensive ones like AutoCAD, without any conditions. For PCs, special tools have been introduced to manage devices and OS. Regarding the application, a ledger was created in Excel and managed along with the management screen.
