To deliver a sophisticated end-to-end customer experience, we established an organization to oversee all customer touchpoints and refine UI/UX design.

Due to the decline in customer experience caused by the slow speed and poor quality resulting from the complexity of administrative tasks, we investigated mechanisms used by leading global companies to mitigate complexity. We found that many companies use measurements of customer response speed to identify sources of complexity. Based on these findings, we assessed the current methods used by the client to identify issues and promoted the integration of speed measurements into their business operations.

We revamped the digital marketing system fundamental to CX improvement and reviewed customer-facing measures. Updated customer segments, databases, and marketing scenarios.

We implemented a program to develop data utilization skills for the insurance industry. We provided both classroom and practical training, equipping sales staff with the ability to use data to solve client problems.

To expand the data business utilizing medical data held by insurance companies, we sought ventures with medical data infrastructure and pursued a carve-out acquisition of the business.

To achieve efficient UAT without relying on the IT department, we selected the optimal RPA and developed an automated UAT system. Established the fundamentals for knowledge transfer and modification rules during RPA implementation and promoted RPA adoption by the client. We first evaluated multiple RPA products and selected a tool that was easy to develop and maintain. Developed and demonstrated a UAT robot within a short period, leveraging knowledge from past projects to achieve rapid deployment. This enabled the automation of testing large volumes of data, significantly improving business efficiency.

To commercialize groundbreaking technology that enables the low-cost transportation of hydrogen, securing a critical component was essential, but competition for this component was intensifying. To find a global supply chain partner, we created a long list of candidate companies and evaluated them for their technology level and strategic alignment. We then investigated the shortlisted companies, initiated initial negotiations, and specified the issues to be addressed and how to overcome them.

As resource circulation accelerates globally, we envisioned a new business utilizing waste plastic processing technology. Identified priority countries based on regional characteristics and developed a business concept based on player trends.

In line with the procurement cost reduction framework, we conducted a thorough review of the unit prices and frequencies of all indirect materials, achieving cost reductions beyond what we had committed to the client.

We made operations that had long relied on "intuition and experience" more efficient by backing them up with past data. We supported the creation of highly "feasible" use cases, their prioritization, and the construction of prototypes.

We planned digital services to provide peace of mind to customers before and after the compensation provided by non-life insurance. This approach contributed to increased trust in the company and supported cross-selling and up-selling.

We redesigned customer touchpoints by utilizing all real and virtual channels. By combining the attention to detail of the real world with the responsiveness of the virtual world, we delivered the optimal purchasing experience.

Following an M&A at the global parent company, we transferred the system infrastructure in the US from the acquiring company. Developed a plan to migrate the system to a data center located several thousand kilometers away. Meanwhile, in Japan, we conducted repeated testing and migration rehearsals over a period of more than a year to ensure stable business operations on the new system infrastructure. During the go-live phase of the migration, we established a war room between the US and Japan, completing the migration work without any issues over a 72-hour period.

With the release of a new product, we revamped the product website and supported improvements to existing operations surrounding the site. We ensured stable operation from launch through maintenance and contributed to the efficiency of the client's operations.

Aiming to promote DX in factories, we formulated an ideal model. Analyzed the gap between the current situation and the ideal, proposed use cases to bridge that gap, and supported the development of methods to measure their effectiveness.

At a system subsidiary of a major credit card company, we implemented optimization of running costs due to unclear classification of system operation costs, with approximately 70% of costs being unclear. We reorganized the accounting items in the budget and standardized the granularity of the breakdown to identify high-cost areas, thereby promoting visibility into the cost structure. Additionally, we broke down contracts into elements based on quantity, quality, and unit price, and conducted vendor negotiations based on examples from other companies and market prices. Through meticulous adjustments, we achieved cost reductions amounting to hundreds of millions of yen.

We planned a service that uses image recognition AI to detect foreign objects mixed in scrap iron. We also managed vendors for system development and launched the service after implementing measures to accelerate AI learning.
