Effects of introduction

Reduce the maintenance load for allocation and equity calculations

By implementing the calculation functions that come standard with PBCS, maintenance can be performed flexibly when organizational changes are made or calculation specifications are modified, greatly reducing the workload.

A system that facilitates comparison of data from previous years in the event of organizational changes

The old system had issues such as a high maintenance load due to organizational changes and the inability to make comparisons in the organizational hierarchy of previous years, but the introduction of PBCS has greatly improved these issues by maintaining the organizational structure by fiscal year.

Smooth switchover between old and new systems, with consideration for end users

PBCSはExcel感覚で操作できるため現場の習熟が早く、プロジェクト開始当初の平行稼働計画より期間を短縮することが可能に。Because PBCS can be operated just like Excel, the on-site staff quickly learned to use it, enabling them to shorten the timeframe compared to the parallel operation plan at the beginning of the project.
