The on-time Go-Live has enabled arcade manager<br \/>\nworkloads to be reduced by approximately 20% in some outlets, and the new<br \/>\nsystem is also helping to minimize pandemic infection risks and drive workstyle<br \/>\nreforms by cutting arcade work processes.

In more recent years, it has also launched restaurant<br \/>\nand merchandising businesses, and in August 2019, introduced <i>Sega Platon<\/i>,<br \/>\nan official app integrated with electronic payment functions, in its outlets<br \/>\nnationwide. The company is committed to continuing to provide its customers<br \/>\nwith fun times and venues in line with ever-changing consumer demands.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sega Entertainment is currently endeavoring to streamline both its internal<br \/>\nand outlet operations to enable its employees to better focus on new initiatives.<br \/>\nA major impediment to this process was the fully customized mission-critical<br \/>\nsystems developed for its past amusement business. These legacy systems lack<br \/>\nscalability, making them an increasing encumbrance to operational improvements.<br \/>\nIts arcade operations, in particular, was dominated by analog workflows<br \/>\ndependent on individual skills, and arcade managers were constantly overwhelmed<br \/>\nwith paper-based bookkeeping.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sega Entertainment chose Infor LN, Infor&#8217;s ERP solution for manufacturing,<br \/>\nfor its tremendous versatility, as well as the availability of all functions<br \/>\nrequired to improve its operations and launch new businesses, and on the<br \/>\nstrength of Hitachi&#8217;s proposal.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sega Entertainment deployed Infor LN as its ERP system for handling core<br \/>\nmanagement operations including accounting, procurement, and logistics.\u00a0 The COVID-19 pandemic was declared during<br \/>\nsystem construction, but thanks to Hitachi&#8217;s deep understanding of Sega<br \/>\nEntertainment&#8217;s operations and the trust it has built with the company&#8217;s arcade<br \/>\nmanagers and other personnel, the new system went into operation as originally<br \/>\nscheduled.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sega Entertainment&#8217;s operations are now running smoothly on Infor LN, and<br \/>\nnew improved workflows enabled by Infor LN are becoming established. The analog<br \/>\nworkflows of the company&#8217;s approximately 200 amusement arcades nationwide have<br \/>\nalso been digitized and standardized, and paper-based bookkeeping eliminated. <s\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, the company plans to leverage Infor LN for other purposes<br \/>\nas well, including inventory visualization in logistics management and system<br \/>\nsupport for new businesses, which was difficult under the old system. Sega<br \/>\nEntertainment is building an ERP system for business transformation that<br \/>\nenables it to support new business projects while scrapping legacy<br \/>\ninfrastructure and streamlining its business operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were endeavoring to transform our business across the company to<br \/>\naddress customer needs, but were unable to carry out real transformation owing<br \/>\nto the limitations of our systems, which were designed for now-outdated<br \/>\nbusiness operations,&#8221; says Hideo Kawai, the general<br \/>\nmanager of Sega Entertainment&#8217;s IT Solutions Department. &#8220;We are very happy<br \/>\nwith the way Infor LN has enabled us to streamline our operations, allowing us<br \/>\nto devote more time and energy to our corporate mission.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><strong>Media<br \/>\ncontact:<\/strong><b><br \/><\/b>Phyllis Tan<br \/>Infor Asia Pacific<br \/>+65 97999133<br \/>phyllis.tan@infor.com<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/View\/58506#Contact\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On-time Go-Live during pandemic helps 200 outlets go paperless and create safer workplace TOKYO, JAPAN\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0Media OutReach\u00a0&#8211; 16 December 2020 &#8211;\u00a0Infor Japan KK, the Japanese subsidiary of Infor, a global leader in business cloud software specialized by industry, today announced that Sega Entertainment, an amusement arcade operator, successfully rolled out Infor LN, an ERP solution for &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10225"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10225\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
