Business System Optimization Seminar" hosted by Salesforce.com Co., Ltd. in Naka-ku, Nagoya City on January 24 (Friday). On the day, we will be presenting on the theme of "Visualizing the Mechanism of 'Selling' with Activity Management! How to Improve the Productivity of Visiting Sales?" We will introduce three key points of activity management to gain "insights" for improving operational efficiency and increasing sales in the field of sales through the "combination" of cloud systems.

Each company will be lecturing on the theme of 1/24 "2020, This Combination is the Strongest and Most Suitable! Business System Optimization Seminar"
Traditionally, when companies introduced systems, the optimal solution was to build a unique system tailored to their specific operations. However, times have changed, and today, due to social factors such as a declining labor force and the enforcement of work style reform-related laws, the rapid changes in the labor environment are complicating existing systems and making their operation difficult. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry warns that in five years, we will face a serious "2025 Cliff" due to "aging of various corporate IT infrastructure," "end of support," and "retirement of engineers responsible for maintenance." Companies are now facing the challenge of "DX (Digital Transformation = System Renewal)." Amidst this, a new idea is gaining attention: instead of just "building" systems, we should "combine" them to respond to changes in the times and environment.
In this seminar, seven partner companies, including Salesforce.com and UPWARD, will gather to present on the optimal combinations for the customer management system "Salesforce" for each industry and business system. UPWARD will be presenting on the merits of operational efficiency through the combination with the field sales activity management cloud service "UPWARD," as well as the key points of activity management for increasing sales.

Amidst social factors such as the enforcement of work style reform-related laws and a declining labor force, companies must continue to grow sustainably. We have entered an era of "customer orientation," where it is important to be chosen by customers, and "sales," which knows customers best, plays an increasingly important role. On the other hand, sales representatives are facing the challenge of spending time on tasks "other than" sales activities, such as visiting customers and building relationships with them.
In the latest version of UPWARD, "Version 11," we have fundamentally reviewed the functions to reduce "non-sales work" time, improve ease of use and convenience, and provide an environment where users can concentrate on their core tasks. We have added many features to improve operability and convenience, such as seamless activity reports (Chatter function) and seamless operations (map buttons, re-centering).
