In 2015, Nomura implemented SAP Concur Expense as its cloud-based Expense Management solution. The deployment established SAP Concur Expense to centralize travel and expense workflows for Nomura in Japan, moving expense reporting, receipt capture, and approvals onto a cloud-hosted platform.
The implementation configured core Expense Management capabilities including employee expense reporting, mobile receipt digitization using smartphone capture, automated receipt matching to expense entries, policy enforcement, and configurable approval routing. SAP Concur Expense was used to operationalize mobile-first receipt digitization and to streamline standard expense workflows for business travelers and approvers.
The project referenced Concur’s open platform approach to enable integrations with corporate systems and third-party travel and payment tooling without specifying particular vendors. Operational ownership focused on finance and travel expense functions, with governance centered on standardized expense policies, centralized approval workflows, and audit trails to support consistent T&E processing across Nomura’s Japan operations.

In 2012, Nomura deployed Oracle PeopleSoft HCM to run Core HR functions for its global workforce, supporting over 13,000 employees through the HR talent shared services team. The implementation focused on performance management and learning & development workflows, with the HR shared services team handling phone and email inquiries and adhering to agreed SLAs for query resolution.
Oracle PeopleSoft HCM was configured to enable an E-performance system and core HR processes for employee advancements, performance perspectives, and annual cycle management. The project supported user acceptance testing and system set-up for the PeopleSoft enabled E-performance module, while aligning performance rating capture and process completion status reporting with HR cycle timelines.
Operational integration included coordination with Cornerstone's learning management system for training administration, enrollment, participation tracking, withdrawal handling, evaluation and feedback reporting to regional learning teams. The deployment covered global HR processes and provided management information reporting for performance ratings and L&D metrics, driven through the shared services support model.
Governance and operationalization emphasized documentation and process clarity, with user and system administrator guides, documented FAQs, and level 3 and level 4 process maps to standardize responses and workflows. The team supported UAT, mentored new members, collected stakeholder feedback, and implemented iterative process improvements to stabilize PeopleSoft operations and align Core HR processes with regional HR teams.

| R3 Corda | Legacy | R3 Corda Blockchain Platform | Blockchain Platform | Blockchain | n/a | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018 Nomura implemented R3 Corda Blockchain Platform as part of a multi‑institution derivatives trial involving Nomura Holdings, Daiwa Securities, Mizuho Financial Group and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. The deployment targeted derivatives processing workflows and used the R3 Corda Blockchain Platform to host a permissioned distributed ledger network for coordinated trade lifecycle activities.
Nomura and Daiwa led development of the CorDapp, the distributed application used during the trial, which encoded contract and workflow logic for the derivatives use case. The CorDapp ran on Corda nodes and leveraged Corda platform capabilities such as state objects and notary services to manage shared transaction states and enforce consensus across participants.
Operational responsibility was organized around a consortium model with each bank operating its own node on the permissioned network, providing a multi‑party architecture for trade confirmation and recordkeeping. The implementation focused on business functions in trading and derivatives operations across the four participating Japanese financial institutions, with development and governance coordinated among the banks.
The public record documents completion of the 2018 trial and highlights Nomura and Daiwa’s role in architecting and delivering the CorDapp on R3 Corda. The narrative positions Nomura R3 Corda Blockchain Platform as an experimental production pattern for multi‑party derivatives orchestration within a permissioned Blockchain Platform environment.
