Transformational Growth for Process Intelligence

Hitachi Solutions, Ltd., has long been a conduit for quickly moving enterprises along their digital transformation journey. The company’s use of cutting-edge digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of things (IoT), successfully guides customers as they renew and modernize business processes and speed their move to the cloud.

Modernizing work and shifting more effort to the cloud is particularly important in Japan. The country’s aging workforce is forcing companies to seek out dramatic increases in efficiency and productivity to sustain market growth. But, companies must first understand how their business operates today. That’s driving huge demand for process intelligence across Japan. ITR, a Tokyo-based market research and consulting firm, projects this industry to grow from ¥400 million ($3.8 million) in 2019 to more than ¥7.5 billion ($71 million) by 2024. That’s an increase of 1,775% in just 5 years.

Japan’s market offers a greenfield opportunity for process intelligence, and this new partnership will position us to take a commanding lead with a strong, first-mover advantage.

Adding Microsoft Power Platform

Hitachi Solutions, Ltd., is using the insights gained with FortressIQ to help customers migrate business applications from on-premise to the cloud, which is further accelerated by their partnership with Microsoft and their use of the Microsoft Power Platform.

Component tools, such as Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents, empower companies to build custom apps without coding and automate processes to streamline how their business operates.

We’ve been working with Microsoft Power Platform for quite a while as our integrated solution helps organizations increase productivity by automating repetitive, time-consuming tasks. Our end-to-end solution for intelligent automation provides cognitive process intelligence, AI-enabled workflows, and deep business insights, and does it all faster than the traditional alternatives.

Leveraging the Speed of Process Intelligence

The AI power behind FortressIQ provides unmatched speed and accuracy over the typical process discovery and mining methods. This gives Hitachi Solutions, Ltd., and their customers a faster path to realizing the benefits of process modernization. According to Hitachi Solutions, Ltd., using FortressIQ has made it possible to automatically analyze end-to-end enterprise business processes and visualize real results in as little as 2 weeks. And, that’s without disrupting workers or conducting tedious analysis of application logs.
