I-at OEC Co., Ltd. will host a webinar for companies where Excel-centered operations hinder digital transformation. The session will introduce '@pocket,' a no-code tool starting at 300 yen/month, demonstrating gradual business improvement methods that prioritize frontline adoption through live demos and case studies.

### Reasons Why DX Managers Cannot Stop Using Excel While the need for business DX and data utilization is increasing, many companies still rely on Excel for their daily operations. A survey of DX promotion managers revealed that the primary reasons for not stopping Excel usage are employee familiarity with the tool and the time required for system migration. This indicates that moving away from Excel is not just a tool change, but a challenge of changing established workflows. With growing interest in Generative AI and data-driven management, scattered information in Excel could become a bottleneck for company-wide improvement.

### Barriers to High-End SaaS: Cost and Frontline Adoption As surveys indicate, many companies cannot move forward with Excel replacement due to the time required for data migration and system replacement. Furthermore, high-end SaaS solutions involve significant installation and operational costs. The more features they have, the more complex the settings and operations become, often leading to a situation where frontline staff cannot master them. This frequently results in the system being used by only a few people, failing to gain traction, and eventually reverting to Excel operations.

### Learning Through Demos and Case Studies: 'Cheap, Fast, Easy' No-Code Tool Utilization In this webinar, we will introduce '@pocket,' a no-code tool starting at 300 yen per month, to achieve migration from Excel and ensure adoption by frontline workers. Instead of aiming for a large-scale system overhaul immediately, companies can progress by app-ifying existing Excel tasks step-by-step. This reduces resistance and the burden of migration. The session will include a live demo of @pocket and practical case studies on how to achieve rapid business improvements even in workplaces accustomed to Excel.

### Recommended For: - DX managers and IT departments who want to move away from Excel but worry about frontline adoption. - Companies that introduced expensive, high-end SaaS but found it too difficult for staff to use. - Those looking for low-cost DX tools suitable for SMEs. - People wanting to see specific examples of migrating from Excel using no-code tools.
