ERP Concept Formulation
We analyze the current state of operations, systems, and associated challenges, and work to concretize the optimal To-Be operational and system vision for each client.
Our scope covers the full range of activities — from analyzing current business processes, defining the target state, and organizing system requirements, through to formulating evaluation criteria for product selection and estimating return on investment. We also develop a roadmap from a holistic optimization perspective that encompasses technical considerations such as master data management and migration planning from legacy systems.
Bringing all of these elements together, we organize them into an actionable execution plan and prepare the groundwork for initiating the requirements definition phase.
Business Process Reform & DX Promotion
We organize the current state of business processes and workloads, and work to identify and address the challenges involved in leveraging the standard functionality of ERP packages.
Utilizing a variety of digital tools and generative AI, we redesign business processes not only to improve operational efficiency but also to create new added value. As this involves cross-organizational efforts, we also provide advice drawing on our proven expertise regarding the establishment of internal structures and talent development on the client's side.
By advancing these initiatives in coordination and in parallel with the ERP package implementation, we contribute to maximizing the return on investment from the core system deployment.
Client-Side PMO Support
We centrally monitor and control overall project progress, quality assurance, risk management, and more from the client's perspective, supporting the execution of projects in accordance with the plan. Specifically, our services include evaluating the validity of project plans, visualizing and reporting progress, early identification of issues and risks along with countermeasure planning, support for negotiations with vendors, and facilitation of communication among project stakeholders.
Across complex and diverse projects — including system development and business process reform — we serve as the client's "eyes" and "ears," increasing the likelihood of project success.
What Sets CONNECTABLUE Apart
Maximizing the Utilization of ERP Standard Functionality Through Powerful Business Process Reform
Drawing on our track record of supporting business process reform across a wide range of industries, we are able to propose a variety of initiatives to help bring business processes closer in alignment with the standard functionality of ERP packages.
Specifically, we provide hands-on support in realizing the optimal business processes for each client — leveraging diverse expertise including effective approaches to combining digital tools with ERP package functionality, reviewing internal business rules and regulations, and strategies for negotiating with customers and suppliers.
This enables the maximum utilization of ERP package standard functionality, contributing to the reduction of total costs — not only during the implementation phase but also throughout the subsequent operation and maintenance phases.
Building a Data Analysis and Utilization Platform That Bridges Management and Departmental Operations
In order to maximize the effectiveness of ERP implementation, we are able to provide insights and recommendations that contribute to the advancement of management — drawing on an extensive range of industry case studies — regarding what combinations of KPIs to use and how analysis should be conducted based on the data managed within the ERP and surrounding systems.
We also provide hands-on support at a practical level for embedding KPI management into frontline operations, including the business processes and management rules required to make those KPIs function effectively.
Holistic Optimization Design Spanning Across Business Domains
Our PMO support goes beyond mere system replacement, achieving optimization from a consistent perspective that spans from management strategy all the way through to frontline operations.
Through the redesign of business processes that transcend departmental boundaries — spanning sales, procurement, production, cost management, accounting, and more — we pursue the enhancement of value across the entire enterprise rather than optimizing individual parts in isolation. Leveraging best practices grounded in extensive industry knowledge and a proven track record, we simultaneously drive both the business process reform and system development that strengthen your company's competitive advantage.
