WingArc1st Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President, CEO: Jun Tanaka) announces that its digital form platform "SPAIS" (SPAIS) and electronic document storage "SVF Archiver" have been adopted for the form platform's open transformation at Nagano Prefecture Credit Union (common name: Kenshin BANK).
This initiative integrates the form platforms of the previously divided core banking and information systems, renovating the platform that manages approximately 1,500 types of forms. Operations are being promoted towards improved operational efficiency and cost optimization, with operation scheduled for completion by fiscal year 2027.
## Background
Amidst major changes in the financial industry environment, Nagano Prefecture Credit Union is proceeding with the full open transformation of its existing core banking system. They are promoting modernization that leverages existing business assets, adopting a rewrite method that automatically converts existing COBOL assets to Java, selecting Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as the platform, and proceeding with a project aiming for operation by 2027.
However, in this large-scale renovation, the form platform operating on the mainframe faced the following challenges:
* About 1,500 types of forms accumulated since 1997 had become black-boxed, making it difficult to grasp the current status.
* Multiple form management tools were used for core banking and information systems, posing challenges for operational flexibility due to mainframe constraints.
To solve these challenges, the integrated platform solution "SPAIS" and electronic document storage "SVF Archiver" from the digital form platform "SVF" brand were adopted. The key points for adoption were:
* Extensive track record in form platforms for financial institutions
* Ability to inherit form assets running on the mainframe directly into an open environment
* High extensibility with an eye toward future data utilization.
## Expected Implementation Effects
At Nagano Prefecture Credit Union, form assets were extracted from the existing system, starting with the creation of form masters. In February 2026, the digital form platform was constructed with a robust architecture equivalent to an on-premises environment, including the smooth migration of approximately 1,500 types of forms. Professional services supporting the open transformation of forms were also utilized in the construction.
Towards full-scale operation in 2027, they plan to consolidate forms from both core banking and information systems, which were previously printed on paper, into the open digital form platform and transition to an operation where they are viewed and managed electronically.
This is expected to yield the following effects:
* Promotion of paperless operations at sales branches
* Reduction in printing costs
* Optimization of forms through visualization of form usage status
* Improvement in operational efficiency by consolidating maintenance licenses.
## Future Outlook
Going forward, they are considering utilizing form data not just as operational forms but as business data that can be fed back to operations and management, thereby serving as information assets to support business improvement and management decisions.
