| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle NetSuite ERP | ERP Financial | ERP Financial Management | n/a | 2016 | 2016 |
In 2016, Softbank implemented Oracle NetSuite ERP as its ERP Financial application. The deployment supported Accounts Payable and core financial reporting workflows for Softbank Group International operations, with documented operational activity tied to the San Carlos, CA A/P team.
Oracle NetSuite ERP was configured to support accounts payable processing, vendor master management, purchase order creation, general ledger coding workflows, and custom reporting. Implementation artifacts include saved search reports, custom NetSuite queries, and batch import routines to update vendor record fields and support accurate financial reporting.
Operational interplay between procurement and the ERP is visible, as NetSuite data was analyzed to measure month‑over‑month Coupa processing increases following Coupa implementation. Purchase orders were created and managed in NetSuite in accordance with terms and conditions of statements of work, and domestic and international vendor onboarding was administered through the ERP and associated data imports.
Governance and process restructuring accompanied the ERP work, including a SharePoint site and standardized templates to streamline GL coding, reduce email traffic between FP&A and A/P, and communicate coding corrections. A/P queue redesign and cleanup reduced response backlogs, while saved searches and custom reports were used by management and auditors to centralize financial inquiry and oversight.
Documented outcomes tied directly to the NetSuite implementation and local process changes include creation of custom NetSuite reports and queries that saved consulting fees, batch import controls that ensured reporting accuracy, a 40 percent reduction in month‑end journal entries through coding process standardization, and a 50 percent reduction in A/P client response time through queue overhauls.

In 2010, Softbank implemented Stellas JPosting ATS. The Stellas JPosting ATS Applicant Tracking System was provisioned on Softbank's corporate website to centralize external job posting and candidate intake for HR and talent acquisition teams.
The deployment focused on core Applicant Tracking System capabilities, including web-based job posting, online candidate submission, resume parsing, an applicant database, configurable screening workflows, interview scheduling, and recruiter-facing dashboards. Stellas JPosting ATS was configured to enforce staged candidate pipelines and automated notifications, aligning system workflows with corporate hiring policies and recruiter task automation.
Operational ownership resides with Softbank recruiting and human resources functions, with the application serving as the primary entry point for external hires via the corporate careers site. Governance was implemented through configured approval gates and candidate lifecycle controls within Stellas JPosting ATS to standardize screening, interview coordination, and record retention processes.

| Fuji Electric | Legacy | Fuji Electric Karuwaza Web | Analytics and BI | Analytics and BI | n/a | 2010 | 2010 |
In 2010 SoftBank Japan deployed Fuji Electric Karuwaza Web as the user facing front end to a very large enterprise data warehouse exceeding 100 terabytes to support analytics across marketing, sales, call center and back office. The deployment is an Analytics and BI implementation used company wide in Japan, reaching about 4,000 users and approximately 2 million annual accesses to accelerate campaign and operational decision making.
Fuji Electric Karuwaza Web was configured as a BI and data access layer providing reporting and data warehouse front end capabilities, including interactive dashboards, ad hoc query and scheduled reporting workflows. The implementation emphasized consolidated reporting, standardized data views and role based access to align departmental analytics practices across marketing, sales, call center and back office.
Architecturally the solution served as the user facing presentation and access tier directly connected to the large central data warehouse, acting as the primary reporting portal for the 100 plus terabyte DWH. Operational coverage extended across the enterprise business functions named in the case study, with the application provisioning access to segmented data sets and departmental views for business users.
Governance aligned the BI deployment to centralized reporting standards and access controls to support faster campaign and operational decisions, and the case study reports measurable marketing and operational outcomes from the rollout. The implementation narrative positions Fuji Electric Karuwaza Web as the company wide Analytics and BI front end for SoftBank Japan, consolidating reporting and enabling broader self service analytics.
