OpenTone Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) has started regular distribution of a newsletter in April 2026 for administrators of its cloud-based attendance management system, proactively explaining key points during introduction and operation. Focusing especially on small and medium-sized manufacturing and nursing care sites that often lack dedicated IT staff, it will provide information useful for practical operations.
Based on the know-how that IC Time Recorder has supported over 1,000 companies and tens of thousands of users for more than 10 years, it delivers easy-to-understand information on easy-to-stumble points and convenient usage methods.
## Troubles and DX Disparities in Manufacturing and Nursing Care Sites
While labor shortages are becoming serious in the manufacturing and nursing care industries, the DX (Digital Transformation) of attendance management is an urgent task. However, in the field, there are many cases where introduction and operation stall due to small stumbles such as 'settings are difficult' or 'not knowing how to respond when replacing PCs', and these issues create a so-called 'DX disparity'.
This newsletter aims to eliminate such 'operational anxiety' in the field and resolve the DX disparity. Based on the know-how OpenTone has cultivated over 10 years supporting over 1,000 companies and tens of thousands of users, it will clearly convey common stumbling blocks in actual operation and convenient ways to use the system.
