It's the first time using third-party maintenance... The reason why a manufacturing customer chose "interim maintenance."

The target device is a rack server manufactured by NEC, released in 2016. This time, due to the overlap of the maintenance expiration period and the internal system updates, there were concerns about what to do if any issues arose during the period of operation without maintenance. On the other hand, this was the first time using third-party maintenance, and there were concerns about the support content. In the case of "temporary maintenance," if you share the configuration information, we strive to provide prompt estimates and service proposals. Additionally, if requested, we offer opportunities to introduce our services through face-to-face and web meetings. You were satisfied with our 24/7 support for incidents and our maintenance system with dedicated materials, leading to your contract with us. ■Challenges You had a need to retain the current data for a certain period due to changes in the internal system for manufacturing records. Additionally, you contacted us because the EOSL would end before the new system went live. ■Proposal As an option for hardware maintenance, we proposed "temporary maintenance." Although you were anxious about using third-party maintenance for the first time, our sales representative carefully explained the maintenance system, which reassured you, and you proceeded with the contract.

Customer case in the transportation industry: Solving the issue of storing data with legal retention periods.

The equipment used by our customer in the transportation industry, which handles not only domestic but also international logistics, is the NEC Express5800/R120g-1E. The server, which stores data with a legally mandated retention period, is out of maintenance, and the manufacturer has provided a quote that is not realistic, leading to a lack of progress in discussions. Therefore, we proposed a "temporary maintenance" solution. After discussing their needs, they decided to contract for maintenance for five years this time. In the case of multi-year contracts, we provide the necessary maintenance parts for the following years in the first year, which allows us to avoid shortages of repair parts during the contract period. The pricing can also be kept lower with a multi-year contract, and for those wishing for long-term maintenance, we recommend contracting for multiple years in advance for cost reduction. ■Challenges - The server for storing data with a legally mandated retention period is out of maintenance, and long-term maintenance from the manufacturer did not fit the budget. ■Results - With "temporary maintenance," the necessary maintenance period can be selected, and long-term maintenance for five years can be accommodated at a reduced cost.

"Why is back-office work so time-consuming?" you might wonder, yet you have neither the time nor the resources. Furthermore, are you feeling pressured by the expectation that "handling tasks without mistakes is a given"? Even when you finally muster the motivation to "implement a system," you can quickly become exhausted by the process of requesting materials, comparing options, and attending demos (about an hour for each company...), leading you to pause and ask, "Which one is actually right for my company?" This is a common reality. Additionally, after implementation, you might find yourself facing issues like "I didn't check the support system, and now I can't call for help when I need it" or "After introducing multiple systems, I lost track of whom to contact during a problem," leading to situations where "this isn't what I expected." Feeling stuck in a dead end... if that's how you feel. In this column, we focus specifically on the back-office areas of "HR, payroll, and accounting," sharing the voices and trends we've encountered through our daily proposal activities, and presenting the "Top 5 Common Problem-Solving Examples." You can read more without needing to input personal information. Please visit the iBusiness Partners column page! https://ibp-column.sfsite.me/36307

We have published an introduction document for our electronic contract and contract management service "WAN-Sign." This document clearly explains the basic mechanisms of electronic contracts and their implementation benefits, as well as the features and usage of "WAN-Sign." WAN-Sign supports electronic signatures, electronic seals, and certified timestamps, assisting in the digitization of contract execution to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. Additionally, it enables centralized management not only of electronic contracts but also of existing paper contracts, contributing to the overall efficiency of contract operations. Furthermore, it is equipped with a high-security system provided by a domestic data center and a wealth of contract management features, making it increasingly adopted by companies of various industries and sizes. If your company is considering the digitalization and paperless transition of contract operations, please take a look.

The non-contact beam touch sensor "HA-T401/HA-T520" has a compact detection range, making it an ideal automatic door sensor for installation on automatic doors facing narrow corridors or busy streets. Depending on the application and installation location, you can choose between "non-vision mounting type" and "non-vision built-in type." 【Features】 ● With the beam touch sensor, you can open and close the automatic door simply by bringing your hand close without touching it, ensuring hygiene. ● Depending on the installation environment, such as single sliding or bi-parting doors, the detection range can be set in four configurations: left, center, right, and a total of 12 spots. ● Two types of activation row settings are available to reduce unnecessary opening and closing of the automatic door due to cross traffic, contributing to energy-saving effects. ● The touch switch and infrared sensor are integrated, allowing for a switch between beam touch and infrared sensor with a single model. 【Recommended for such locations!】 ☑ Entrance facing a busy corridor ☑ Counter or sign near the door ☑ Buildings facing narrow corridors ☑ Buildings that prioritize aesthetics ☑ Hospitals and facilities that consider hygiene ☑ Large facilities with many doors ◎ For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
