Optimizing Global Business

Learn about global business in the new normal and discover frameworks and methods to implement and support the best systems.

Covid-19 has forced many enterprises to restructure global business. The massive impact on supply chains has resulted in huge delays and stoppages to global procurement, production, and logistics. In an increasingly uncertain world, is it still worth the risk to operate globally?

The unforeseen circumstances unfolding around us have made digitalization even more important for swiftly devising alternative measures and gaining business resilience. Enterprises that use old systems optimized to different sites can't identify logistics and production hold-ups in real time. NTT DATA Global Solutions supports Japanese enterprises make better decisions faster by leveraging data via a comprehensive platform with ERP systems at the core.

Having digitized business processes and an integrated platform is essential for understanding the global business landscape and making quick decisions to respond to risks immediately.

Optimizing global business by leveraging core systems

Implementing a globally integrated ERP system in the right way can be difficult due to the different languages, currencies, laws, taxes, and business practices in each country and region. NTT DATA Global Solutions provides the following approaches based on our many years of implementation experience.

① Implemented in Japan and expanded to global regions

Expand by using the business model of Japanese headquarters as the basis for adding or removing functions in each country or region. This approach also ensures global consistency during localization.

② Implement internationally in each region, gather knowledge, and then implement in Japan

First, we will create a model at our overseas offices, where business processes are simpler, and based on that, we will review our domestic business models and optimize them while maintaining global consistency.
