Fujifilm Solves Data Fragmentation and Enhances Decision-Making with Informatica’s AI-Powered Master Data Management
September 12 2024 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Informatica (NYSE: INFA), a leader in enterprise AI-powered
cloud data management, today announced that FUJIFILM Holdings
Corporation (FUJIFILM) has implemented Informatica’s Master Data
Management (MDM) solution to manage master data to unify their data
strategy and drive centralized decision-making. Fujifilm chose
Informatica’s MDM to combine data across multiple source systems
resulting from decades-long business expansion and
transformations.
Starting as a photographic filmmaker in 1934, FUJIFILM embarked
on a company-wide transformation in 2000 with a mission to
diversify into different product lines including healthcare,
material business, business innovation and imaging. Over the
decades, almost 90 core systems operated across businesses,
resulting in data fragmentation across the organization.
From a component-based strategy where specialized systems were
developed individually for each business and department, FUJIFILM
decided to optimize data management across the company by
implementing a platform-based solution. This new strategy involves
creating shared functions tailored to meet specific needs across
the entire group. However, migrating all existing core systems,
including moving data from enterprise systems and applications, and
20-plus SAP ERP systems to their new management analytics system
would have been costly and time-consuming.
FUJIFILM decided to establish a unified master data strategy,
leveraging Informatica’s MDM and Data Quality solutions to
streamline and consolidate diverse data domains, including product
codes, sales, inventory and business partner data from its core
systems, and centrally manage and utilize the data across different
departments and company divisions at global level.
Takaharu Furusho, Senior Manager of the ICT Strategy Department
at FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, commented, "Informatica’s Master
Data Management solution has enabled us to visualize data generated
daily from our global operations through a unified,
cross-functional view. This adoption has contributed immensely to
our group management’s ability to use trusted data to operate more
efficiently and make data-driven decisions to unlock valuable
insights."
Taito Kozawa, Country Manager and President of Informatica
Japan, said, "Informatica is pleased to be able to contribute to
FUJIFILM's innovation and value creation by enabling the customer
to establish a single view of trusted data across their entire
group of businesses. Our MDM solution empowers business users and
analysts to make more accurate decisions and connections by
leveraging high-quality, consistent and trusted data."
In addition, the comprehensive Informatica training programs and
support were a key advantage to FUJIFILM, enabling the customer’s
ICT employees to accelerate in-house solution developments while
acquiring the relevant data management knowledge and skills. For
FUJIFILM, which prioritizes development speed, the ease of making
modifications and changes without coding and the ability to test
the system with minimal man-hours were also key factors driving the
adoption.
FUJIFILM plans to advance self-service business intelligence
(BI) further, integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into
management decision-making, and improve data utilization across the
business while maintaining high-quality, trusted data within the
organization.
