Samantha Thavasa Japan Limited Achieves "Unmistakable File Management" by Centralizing Dispersed NAS/File Servers with Fileforce

Fileforce Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Aram Sarkisian) announced the publication of a case study featuring Samantha Thavasa Japan Limited (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Koji Furuya). Samantha Thavasa faced challenges including unidentified file locations, increased search times, reliance on specific individuals, and security/backup concerns due to a mix of on-premise file servers and departmental NAS. With Fileforce, the company integrated its infrastructure, reorganizing 20 years of data and redesigning folder structures to reconstruct information assets into a state where they can be "accessed without getting lost."

Background of Introduction For many years, the company had been operating with a combination of on-premise file servers and multiple NAS devices, leading to a constant state where data locations were unclear. As personnel transferred or organizational changes occurred, file management became dependent on specific individuals, and finding necessary information took a significant amount of time, posing challenges for both the information systems department and other departments.

Key Decision Factors for Selection: Enjoying Cloud Benefits with On-premise-like Usability - Fileforce Drive maintains the same operational feel as Explorer, suppressing user training load. - High operational response, including upload speed, allowing for stress-free use. - Unlimited user plan offers advantages in budget management by making it easier to control cost fluctuations with an increase in users.

Introduction Process: The Biggest Hurdles Were "Data Inventory and Consensus Building" During the migration, the biggest hurdles were taking inventory of 20 years of past data and selecting what to retain or discard. Through repeated discussions with each department, the company promoted infrastructure development aimed at creating a system where "what is where is evident at a glance," parallel to the data inventory and folder structure redesign.

Effects of Introduction - 20 years of data were organized and relocated with a unified folder structure and access rights settings, enabling centralized management of dispersed information assets. - Clarified folder structure and high-speed operability made it easier to find necessary files, reducing search time and communication costs for location confirmation. - Explorer-like operation became established in the field without discomfort, reducing man-hours for responding to inquiries about operating methods. - AD integration (ADSync) reduced the effort of user/group management, lightening daily operational load. - Utilization of logs and security centers expedited responses to inquiries regarding movement, deletion, etc. We will continue to strive to ensure that our Fileforce customers, including Samantha Thavasa Japan Limited, can utilize their files with even greater peace of mind.
