Business environments are changing at an unprecedented pace today as home and office hybrid workplaces continue to
become the norm.
However, not all people working in organizations are able to catch up with these changes. Time, effort, cost and
knowledge are necessary to adopt new ways of working and new values.
As a partner, we offer ECM ※1 / CSP※2 solutions based on the concept of “Put knowledge to work,” which support
customers transform their information into knowledge and make use of that knowledge in their operations.
As the volume of business information continues to grow exponentially, ECM / CSP solutions contribute to improving
business productivity by enabling the integration, recognition, classification and utilization of data which exists in a wide
variety of formats and across various business systems.
For example, ECM / CSP solutions can automate
workflows such as approval processes, and work
seamlessly with core company systems and
databases, thus enabling users to access this data
across the organization from desktop or mobile
devices.
Kyocera also provides Information & Communication
Technology, or ICT, services that connect various
products and services in a network environment to
