Hanshin Construction Reduces Non-Core Business by 30% with Josys

Hanshin Construction, a prominent general construction company within the Hankyu Hanshin Toho Group, operates across Japan, delivering key civil engineering projects. With four primary business pillars—civil engineering, foundation work, construction, and renewal—the company is integral to infrastructure development, from river roads and railway facilities to the renovation of existing structures.

Despite its success, Hanshin Construction faced significant challenges in managing its IT assets. The company had over 850 IT devices, more than double the number of its employees, including PCs, smartphones, and tablets. This situation made it difficult to track actual usage, creating a substantial management burden.

The Challenge

With an overwhelming number of IT devices and applications, Hanshin Construction struggled to manage and secure its IT infrastructure effectively. The disjointed management approach led to inefficiencies, higher costs, and an increased security risk. The company’s resources were stretched thin, making it difficult to focus on more strategic initiatives such as digital transformation.


The Solution

To address these challenges, Hanshin Construction implemented Josys, an integrated management cloud solution for IT devices and SaaS applications. Josys enabled the company to consolidate its IT asset management into a single platform, providing comprehensive oversight and control over all devices and applications.


Key Outcomes

  1. Cost Reduction: By centralizing IT management with Josys, Hanshin Construction significantly reduced the costs associated with managing multiple IT assets. The streamlined processes allowed the company to cut down on redundant applications and devices, achieving cost savings that could be reallocated to other critical areas.

  2. Improved Security: Josys provided enhanced visibility into the company’s IT ecosystem, enabling better monitoring and control. This improvement reduced the risk of security breaches and ensured that all devices and applications were up-to-date with the latest security protocols.

  3. Reduced Management Burden: The integration of Josys alleviated the administrative load on Hanshin Construction’s IT department. Automated processes and centralized management reduced the time and effort required to manage IT assets, freeing up resources for more strategic tasks.

  4. Focus on Core Business: With the management burden eased, Hanshin Construction was able to allocate more resources to its core business activities, including digitizing operations and driving digital transformation initiatives. The company could now focus on delivering value to its clients and advancing its technological capabilities.

 

Conclusion

By introducing Josys, Hanshin Construction successfully reduced its non-core business activities by one-third, allowing the company to streamline IT management, cut costs, enhance security, and focus on its primary objectives. The implementation of Josys has positioned Hanshin Construction to continue its growth and innovation in the construction industry, leveraging digital tools to stay ahead in a competitive market.
