Money Forward i, Inc., a group company of Money Forward Co., Ltd., announced that New Japan Pro-Wrestling Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, New Japan Pro-Wrestling) has adopted 'Money Forward Admina'.
■ Background of Adoption
New Japan Pro-Wrestling emphasizes the experience of wrestlers and spectators sharing excitement and energy in the ring, and promotes diverse businesses globally, including operating approximately 150 events annually both domestically and internationally, the official video streaming service 'NJPW WORLD,' and merchandise development. Back-office operations supporting these businesses are handled by the Management Planning Department and Administration Department, with three system administrators performing in-house IT duties.
The company has actively promoted the use of SaaS in cooperation with its parent company, Bushiroad Inc., to conduct internal operations more closely and speedily. However, as the use of SaaS diversified, not only account management but also associated tasks such as maintaining management sheets, inventorying accounts during contract renewals, and obtaining multiple quotes increased. The valuable resources of the system administrators were strained, and optimizing SaaS costs became a challenge for future growth.
To solve these challenges and focus on more strategic IT operations with limited resources, the company considered introducing a tool. As a result, the decision to adopt 'Money Forward Admina' was made, based on factors such as its ability to automate and centralize account management and contract renewal tasks that tend to become person-dependent, user-friendly operability, SaaS cost reduction through the 'Admina Vendor Plan,' and strong governance to support group collaboration.
■ Comment from New Japan Pro-Wrestling
Mr. Ogawa, Head of System Section, Management Planning Department (Team Leader for Implementation)
Our company aims to deliver the passionate excitement generated by pro-wrestling to fans worldwide, and we are promoting the expansion of digital platforms and strengthening IT-driven operations. In the back office, which supports this foundation, the utilization and efficient management of SaaS are unavoidable challenges.
By adopting 'Money Forward Admina,' we will eliminate time-consuming aggregation tasks and achieve accurate IT asset management. In particular, the consulting service of the 'Admina Vendor Plan' enables strategic SaaS cost optimization based on solid expertise, which we believe will be a strategic move against recent SaaS price increases. We will also work to maintain a management system with a small elite team of three, while ensuring the security standards and information sharing as part of the Bushiroad Group.
Moving forward, our goal is to achieve faster IT operations and build an internal system that can deploy more attractive services to our fans.
