Financial Data Platform innovation accelerates as INFRONEER teams with Accenture and SAP Japan. The firms developed a new digital core within just three months. Also, the Financial Data Platform helps make quick decisions based on data.
The platform connects project-level cost management with group-wide financial accounting. Hence, the firm improves its decision-making capability. Further, the effort is a big milestone in its digital transformation process.
Kazunari Kibe, Representative Executive Officer and President, INFRONEER Holdings Inc., said, “The most important insight from this project is that building core enterprise systems should be treated not as an operational project, but as a management-driven initiative. These projects often become prolonged because development begins before management has defined what data it needs to see and how it will use that data to make decisions, questions only management can answer. At INFRONEER HD, we have long practiced data-driven management and refined our management framework together with Accenture. That foundation enabled us to deploy our financial accounting system in just three months and begin expanding into other business areas, rather than the years such projects typically require. Going forward, we plan to extend this approach into other functions and across the entire group and position management-led, data-driven transformation as a catalyst for innovation in the infrastructure and construction industry.”
Driving Digital Transformation with AI and Cloud ERP
Infroneer is transforming into an integrated infrastructure service provider company. Hence, it will move beyond the usual contracting system. It will also solve problems such as a lack of workers and aged infrastructure. Moreover, SAP Cloud ERP caters to the financial accounting field. The fast deployment was made possible by effective leadership and business process reengineering. Furthermore, Accenture and SAP facilitated the implementation using a new strategy.
In the future, INFRONEER expects to leverage the same framework throughout its procurement process and cost management systems. Hence, the company will incorporate AI-driven analytical capabilities. The approach will enhance efficiency and ensure better business results. In all, the Financial Information Platform increases the capacity of INFRONEER to innovate and become an industry leader.
Dai Hamaoka, Representative Director and President, Japan Country Managing Director, Accenture, said, “Through its Reinvention Services, Accenture helps clients achieve rapid transformation by integrating management and performance improvement, business and operational reform, core system modernization, data and AI, ecosystem collaboration, and operations outsourcing into a single, connected effort. Our work with INFRONEER HD is Reinvention Services in action: We combined data- and AI-powered business reform with operational efficiency and end-to-end transformation from the boardroom to the front line to bring core enterprise systems live in just three months. This is a best-case outcome enabled by specific preconditions: executive engagement, prior business reform, organizational culture, and industry and process context—and while it may not apply to every client, this approach can reliably reduce both implementation timelines and investment. As AI becomes central to enterprise management, the ability to deliver this kind of implementation speed is more critical than ever to sharpening decision-making, raising productivity, and strengthening competitiveness.”
Yoshiro Horikawa, President & Representative Director, SAP Japan, said, “This initiative by INFRONEER HD represents a concrete outcome of the collaboration program between SAP Japan and Accenture to rapidly establish SAP Cloud ERP as a foundation for AI-driven value creation. Brought live in just three months, this advanced project serves as a flagship SAP Cloud ERP initiative in Japan’s construction industry. By combining customers’ strong commitment to management transformation and deep understanding of Japanese business operations with SAP’s global standardization expertise and advanced technologies, SAP Japan will continue supporting customers in advancing operations that underpin social infrastructure.”
