“With the Tomari Power Station shut down, thermal power generation is the main source of stable power supply, and it is also an important provider that will play a role as a regulating power source for the future as renewable energy sources are increasingly substituted in.” In order to meet the challenge of a dramatically changing environment within the thermal power sector due to an accelerating movement toward “carbon neutrality."
“We believe that digital is only a vehicle, and that the X (transformation, reform) of DX is more important.

“ABS was critical in helping us move from our legacy system to a unified solution with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance implementation and integration with our loan management system. ABS had in-depth expertise in the finance domain and provided quality inputs to customize Microsoft Dynamics 365 for our needs. Most importantly, ABS delivered on-time despite the unexpected COVID-19 crisis. This speaks highly of both the ABS team’s commitment and Microsoft’s technology solution capability.”
“Dynamics 365 was a life-saver. Before the pandemic, accounting was always done in office. Implementing it was a wise choice as it helped us to transition to the cloud smoothly.

"We chose Dynamics 365 because we need modern technology that will evolve with us. The reality is that our business needs didn’t just change over the past two years—they were disrupted overnight by the pandemic.
