Macnica supports Hanshin Construction's information systems department in reducing non-core operations - Integrated management of more than twice as many IT devices as employees, reducing costs, improving security, and reducing administrative burden with JOSYS -

Macnica (headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Kazumasa Hara Kazumasa; hereinafter referred to as Macnica) announced today that it has provided Hanshin Construction Co., Ltd. (headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Maeda Kyoji; hereinafter referred to as Hanshin Construction) with "Josys," an integrated management cloud for IT devices and SaaS, to help reduce non-core operations in its information systems department.

■Background
At Hanshin Construction, the only general construction company in the Hankyu Hanshin Toho Group, some employees are provided with multiple PCs and smartphones, and depending on their work, they are provided with tablets, with a total of 850 IT devices, more than double the number of employees. I'm using the device. Additionally, the company had introduced a wide variety of applications, which were managed using a ledger created in Excel and a management screen, but managing multiple ledgers was time-consuming and the actual status of usage was not fully understood. Even though account management is a non-core task, it takes up a lot of time and puts a heavy burden on us.
Hanshin Construction has introduced ``Josis'' to solve these problems.

■What is Josis?
JOSYS is an integrated management service for SaaS accounts and IT devices. You can visualize the SaaS and IT devices used by employees and understand usage status and usage fees all at once. In addition, we centrally manage the life cycle of information assets, from the issuance and deletion of new accounts upon joining and leaving the company, to the purchase and disposal of IT devices. The point is that it not only automates analog operations in the information systems department, but also strengthens security by detecting shadow IT and accounts that have been omitted to be deleted.

■Decision factor for introducing JOSYS
The deciding factors that led Hanshin Construction to implement the system after conducting a trial are as follows.

1. Integrated management of IT assets can be achieved without any hassle.
2. This service is suitable for companies that are responsible for system management with a small number of people.
3. The automatic detection function for retiree accounts and easy-to-understand GUI were also highly praised.

■Effects of introducing JOSYS
As a result of the introduction, integrated management of Hanshin Construction's IT assets was realized, and the following effects were observed.

1. Proper allocation of application licenses is now possible
2. Detects shadow IT and accounts that have not been deleted and raises alerts, leading to improved security.
3. Up until now, a lot of time has been spent on non-core work, but after full-scale operations, we can expect a reduction of about 1/3.

We also appreciate the ease of use, such as the ability to individually set information viewing privileges.

In the future, Hanshin Construction would like to further automate non-core operations to improve productivity, and use the time freed up to pursue its original mission of digitizing operations and promoting DX.

Through JOSYS, Macnica will help IT personnel increase their productivity and focus on their original mission.
