Operations have progressed at a pace exceeding the expectations set at the time of the previously announced 'adoption decision', with over 1,000 automated workflows already executed.

Background of the Interview Publication: Proven Results from the Previous 'Adoption Decision'

Open House Group supports a demanding operation with a lean team centered around four employees, facing dozens of new hires each month, including 800 new graduates joining in April alone.

The company had long faced urgent challenges in 'visualizing' and 'automating the management' of its rapidly increasing SaaS usage. Account deletion upon employee departure, in particular, was done manually across multiple management screens, raising concerns about security risks from forgotten deletions and increasing license costs. The adoption of Josys was decided as a 'strategic IT investment' to solve these issues.

Highlights of the Case Study

Over 1,000 Workflows Executed, Achieving a 'Forget-the-Work' Operation: By integrating the HR system, BigQuery, and GAS with Josys's API, the company built a fully automated process for post-departure procedures. Since implementation, over 1,000 automated processes have run, achieving a state where staff only need to check completion notifications on Monday mornings, effectively 'not being conscious of the work'.

Freedom from 'Subtly Heavy Stress' and a Shift to Core Tasks: The account deletion work that required navigating multiple management screens has been reduced to zero. The freed-up time has allowed the team to focus on strategic tasks, such as organizing Active Directory (AD), a long-standing issue.

Optimal for Group Management: Multi-tenancy and API Flexibility: The ability to centrally manage different domains and SaaS environments, which increase with M&A, greatly contributes to maintaining governance for a rapidly growing company.

Trust in Development and Support: The development speed of Josys, which quickly releases UI improvements and new features based on detailed on-site requests, leads to post-adoption peace of mind and high satisfaction.

Future Outlook: Towards Cost Optimization of High-Cost Licenses

In the future, the company plans to use Josys for managing high-cost licenses for Adobe and the latest AI tools, implementing a unique operation of 'automatic issuance only when needed and automatic collection when not in use'.

Comment from Mr. Kanda of Open House Group Co., Ltd.

'We use Josys based on the belief that the job of the IT department is not to do the work, but to think about efficiency. Now, automation has become the norm, and we have created a state where we almost 'forget' about the operations. The development team's attitude of listening to requests and improving even the UI details is very reassuring.'
