Why did Square Enix specifically choose SVF Cloud?

It was the only solution capable of perfectly reproducing the extremely fine layout requirements unique to Japanese companies—such as specific line thickness and character spacing—within a cloud environment, which global ERP standard functions often struggle with.

What is the system configuration?

Output data is sent from the core accounting system 'SAP S/4HANA' and the workflow engine 'Pega Platform' to 'SVF Cloud' in the cloud, ensuring stable output for invoices, quotes, and other reports.

What operational benefits were achieved through implementation?

By consolidating into approximately 50 critical reports and unifying specifications, they reduced maintenance costs and achieved high-performance, stable operations for large-scale and real-time outputs.

WingArc1st Inc. announced that Square Enix has implemented its cloud reporting service 'SVF Cloud' to coincide with its core system overhaul. The solution ensures stable operations and high performance for massive document output while meeting the meticulous layout requirements unique to Japanese business practices.

WingArc1st Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Jun Tanaka) has announced that Square Enix Co., Ltd. has implemented 'SVF Cloud,' a cloud-based reporting service under the digital reporting brand 'SVF,' in conjunction with the renewal of its core systems. The flexible integration with other systems has realized consistent reporting output and stable operation capable of withstanding large volumes of document generation.

### Background Square Enix, a comprehensive entertainment provider, has overhauled its core system to SAP S/4HANA, aiming to build a foundation that supports growth for the next decade. Additionally, workflow operations such as approval requests, procurement, and equipment management have been integrated into the Pega Platform. With this system migration, the company aimed to cloudify its reporting foundation to build a mechanism that allows for consistent creation and operation of business documents in a cloud environment.

Business documents that record and prove transactions are essential for operations. Invoices, quotes, and other business reports exchanged between companies require stable operation. In particular, business departments strongly requested the ability to 'continue producing documents identical to current ones,' requiring meticulous accuracy in layout, line thickness, positioning, and character spacing unique to Japanese companies.

SVF Cloud was adopted as the unique solution to these challenges. Key points for adoption included: - Product reliability and overwhelming stability backed by SVF's long-standing track record. - Ease of reporting development. - Capability to handle detailed reporting requirements unique to Japanese companies (lines, layout, etc.).

### Post-Implementation Status The new core system began operations in May 2023. Currently, financial reports from the accounting core SAP S/4HANA, as well as various reports like invoices, quotes, and purchase orders issued from the front-end Pega Platform, are all output via SVF Cloud. This has established a unified reporting platform on the cloud, ensuring excellent processing performance for high-volume and real-time output, allowing for the stable generation of numerous daily documents.

Additionally, taking the system renewal as an opportunity, business processes and reporting systems were reviewed. A policy was established to consolidate report creation and management into SVF Cloud, eventually narrowing down to approximately 50 critical reports. By centralizing engineering skills and unifying specifications and system standards, the company expects to reduce maintenance costs and ensure the stable operation of the reporting foundation.

Looking forward, the company plans to further digitize and integrate operations, including the automation of human-mediated tasks using generative AI to enhance business processes.

### Comment from Square Enix Representative 'Despite significant changes in business processes due to the large-scale system renewal, users have not experienced any sense of displacement. Furthermore, the ability to consistently provide stable, high-quality reporting is valued as a major benefit of SVF Cloud.'

### About SVF Cloud A cloud reporting service that optimizes document output from core and business systems. It enables flexible layout design, printing on various manufacturers' printers, and document management in diverse output formats.
