Canon IT Solutions, part of the Canon Marketing Japan Group, has implemented its cloud EDI service, 'EDI-Master Cloud,' for ANA Trading, successfully achieving timely compliance with ISO20022 and migrating their foreign remittance infrastructure to the cloud. This initiative has led to the establishment of a stable operational structure and improved business efficiency.
Background and Challenges: For ANA Trading, which handles overseas procurement of aircraft parts and in-flight service items, foreign remittance is a critical business operation. Delays or failures in remittances directly impact trust with suppliers and affect procurement and business activities. Amid this environment, the company was required by its partner banks to comply with ISO20022, the international standard for financial messaging formats. While they initially considered using internet banking, it became clear that manual work would be required, necessitating modifications to their core systems. Due to the difficulty in finalizing specifications and the large scope of modifications, they had to select a new remittance platform under uncertain specifications and tight deadlines.
Key Points of Implementation: The cloud platform allows for implementation without dedicated lines. ANA Trading faced challenges with many vendors requiring the installation of new dedicated lines. 'EDI-Master Cloud' was highly rated for its ability to be used without the need for the company to install its own dedicated lines, thereby reducing infrastructure burdens. Additionally, the support structure involving sales, SE, and support teams was crucial. The ability to flexibly and quickly respond to requirement adjustments and specification changes during the limited project period was a key factor in the selection.
Results: The implementation of 'EDI-Master Cloud' in foreign remittance operations has achieved stable operation and business efficiency. Furthermore, thanks to flexible data conversion functions, data output from the core system can be adjusted to match the formats of individual banks, allowing the ISO20022-compliant remittance platform to go live within the deadline. Future plans include expanding operations to include domestic remittances and considering deployment to group companies currently using internet banking.
