Story
Information Technology work at Advantest spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Japan. Order management was splitting across regional habits. Order desk and finance asked for a shared way to run order to cash without freezing local judgment.
Sage (Sage X3) is what they standardized on. Sage provides accounting, ERP, and HR software used by small and midsize businesses to run finance and operations. Advantest uses it as the system of record for order management, with order desk and finance as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
