INFRONEER Holdings Inc. ("INFRONEER HD"), in collaboration with Accenture  and SAP Japan, announced that it has built a new financial data and insights platform—the digital core of its data driven management—in just three months. This rapid delivery was made possible by CEO-led business process reengineering.

The new platform is the first deliverable of a broader project to build a data-driven, next generation digital core that seamlessly connects management information end-to-end—from project-level cost management to group-wide financial accounting—enabling faster, more sophisticated decision-making across the group. This project marks a key step in INFRONEER HD's transformation toward becoming an integrated infrastructure service company spanning the full lifecycle of infrastructure, moving beyond the traditional contracting-centered model. Responding to industry-wide challenges such as aging infrastructure, labor shortages, and slow digitalization, and amid group expansion through M&A, INFRONEER HD has advanced its group management capabilities by consolidating and visualizing critical management data with Accenture. INFRONEER Strategy & Innovation*, a joint venture established by the two companies in April 2025 accelerated this work.

For this project, SAP® Cloud ERP was implemented for the financial accounting domain at the core of group management. Achieving one of the fastest implementations of its kind in Japan reflects INFRONEER HD's long-standing, management led business reform approach—working closely with its operating companies to deeply understand frontline realities and business specifics. The achievement was further driven by the new implementation approach announced by Accenture and SAP in April—designed to rapidly deploy SAP Cloud ERP as a foundation for AI driven value creation—and by a joint dedicated team that led delivery.

Looking ahead, INFRONEER HD and Accenture will extend this approach to additional functions such as procurement and cost management, while advancing AI-powered analytics and predictive insights to elevate the quality and speed of decision-making across the group. In the longer term, INFRONEER HD aims to evolve these initiatives into a model that can be scaled across the infrastructure and construction industry, contributing to industry-wide productivity and the resolution of societal challenges surrounding infrastructure.

Kazunari Kibe, Representative Executive Officer and President, INFRONEER Holdings Inc., said, "The most important insight from this project is that building core enterprise systems should be treated not as an operational project, but as a management driven initiative. These projects often become prolonged because development begins before management has defined what data it needs to see and how it will use that data to make decisions—questions only management can answer. At INFRONEER HD, we have long practiced data driven management and refined our management framework together with Accenture. That foundation enabled us to deploy our financial accounting system in just three months and begin expanding into other business areas—rather than years such projects typically require. Going forward, we plan to extend this approach into other functions and across the entire group and position management led, data driven transformation as a catalyst for innovation in the infrastructure and construction industry."

Dai Hamaoka, Representative Director and President Japan Country Managing Director, Accenture, said, "Through its Reinvention Services, Accenture helps clients achieve rapid transformation by integrating management and performance improvement, business and operational reform, core system modernization, data and AI, ecosystem collaboration, and operations outsourcing into a single, connected effort. Our work with INFRONEER HD is Reinvention Services in action: We combined data- and AI-powered business reform with operational efficiency and end-to-end transformation from the boardroom to the front line to bring core enterprise systems live in just three months. This is a best-case outcome enabled by specific preconditions—executive engagement, prior business reform, organizational culture, and industry and process context—and while it may not apply to every client, this approach can reliably reduce both implementation timelines and investment. As AI becomes central to enterprise management, the ability to deliver this kind of implementation speed is more critical than ever to sharpening decision-making, raising productivity, and strengthening competitiveness."
