Sekisui Chemical

Sekisui Chemical of Osaka, Japan, produces prefab housing, plastic and metal pipes used in water sewage systems, and a variety of high-performance plastics that make up liquid crystal displays, foams and industrial tapes.

Sekisui needed a clearly defined way to improve productivity and drive global standardization among its 128 business groups, especially in accounting. Sekisui used Teradata to construct an accounting system with next-generation capabilities, and now the firm can not only make mission-critical business decisions faster and better than ever before, but it can also use its financial data more efficiently.

"We have achieved success by cutting labor costs, decreasing paper and manual processes, and speeding innovation and problem solving," reports Masaaki Kondo, Corporate Group Systems Division Director for Sekisui System Corp.
