The Challenge: Efficiently Managing People Data Across Multiple Systems
NEC Nets SI faced a growing need for precise, real-time human capital data to support strategic decision-making, organizational development, and financial reporting. However, their HR data was scattered across multiple systems, requiring manual consolidation through Excel. This process consumed over 3,000 hours annually and led to data discrepancies through human error, particularly when responding to requests from leadership or external parties.
Key Challenges:
– HR data spread across more than 10 different systems.
– Manual data integration through Excel functions caused significant delays.
– Inconsistent data formats led to errors and do-over.
– Data visibility and real-time access for management were lacking, resulting in frustration from the leadership
Why Panalyt: A Streamlined Solution for Complex HR Data Integration
NEC Nets SI sought a solution that would allow for the automatic integration and visualization of HR data without requiring changes to existing systems and workflows. After trying other HR systems, they found that Panalyt’s ability to seamlessly connect data from various systems—without the need for format unification on their side—was a key factor in their decision to adopt the platform.
Key Factors for Choosing Panalyt:
– No need to change or unify existing HR systems.
– Automatic data integration and real-time visualization.
– Comprehensive data cleansing support.
– Increased data literacy and accurate interpretation of HR metrics.
“The ability to link data without changing our existing HR systems was a decisive factor in adopting Panalyt.” – Motoki Konishi, Manager
The Solution: Enhanced Accuracy, Real-Time Data, and Great Usability
In just two months, Panalyt helped NEC Nets SI clean and organize data for approximately 5,000 employees. This process led to numerous discoveries, such as inconsistent data entry rules for employment and retirement dates across different systems. Panalyt’s data cleansing support allowed the HR team to set clear rules for future data entry and significantly improved the accuracy of their reporting.
Impact of Panalyt Implementation:
– Improved Data Accuracy: Errors in past data entry were identified and corrected.
– Real-Time Visibility: The HR team could now access up-to-date information, making strategic planning and reporting much easier.
– Streamlined Data Management: The time spent on manual data consolidation and validation was drastically reduced.
“Panalyt’s data cleansing process revealed past data entry errors, and now we have clear rules for maintaining data accuracy moving forward.” – Maki Sugimori, Senior Manager

Following the successful implementation of Panalyt, NEC Nets SI is now focusing on democratizing data across its organization. They plan to leverage Panalyt’s flexible data access permissions to allow executives, department heads, and line managers to access relevant insights, enabling data-driven decision-making throughout the company.
