By integrating ORIX’s PATPOST, which streamlines the storage and retrieval of document data, via API with the company’s Accel-Mart Quick, which enables simple business process design and integration, the company can now help customers improve company-wide operational efficiency and strengthen governance by centrally managing contract and supporting-document workflows across multiple departments and integrating document repositories.」

(President and Representative Director: Wada Shigefumi (和田 成史); head office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo). We also achieved strategic product integration with iGrafx, which operates globally as a leader in the BPM (Business Process Management) and DTO (Digital Twin Organization) fields, primarily in Europe and the United States.
