Tokyo – March 26, 2026
IBM Japan, Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as IBM Japan), Oracle Japan Corporation (hereinafter referred to as Oracle Japan), and TIS Inc. (hereinafter referred to as TIS) have unified the financial accounting systems of all JTB Group companies, totaling 54 domestic and overseas companies (*1), and have established a management foundation capable of integrated data management and analysis at a global level. Furthermore, in the implementation of the new financial accounting system, 95% of the standard functions of "Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications" were utilized as is, promoting the standardization of core accounting business processes that were individually optimized for each location and company. This will enable JTB to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and immediacy of its financial accounting information, thereby advancing the sophistication of its management information.
Previously, the JTB Group's financial accounting systems were fragmented by domestic headquarters and branches, corporations, and regions (siloed), leading to dispersed financial data. Consequently, the collection and analysis of vast amounts of information were handled manually, and data integration with business systems was limited, posing a challenge in responding swiftly to changes in the business environment. This resulted in a lack of timeliness, immediacy, and accuracy in the collection and analysis of management information. Furthermore, JTB Group urgently needed to establish stable management and financial information foundations to support the business portfolio transformation (shifting business activities from domestic-centric to overseas) outlined in its long-term vision, "OPEN FRONTIER 2035."
In response, IBM Japan, Oracle Japan, and TIS implemented "Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications" for JTB's domestic headquarters and a total of 23 domestic group companies in April 2025, and for 31 overseas corporations in January 2026, thereby migrating the financial accounting system to the cloud. In conjunction with "Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications," which offers high connectivity, TIS's management control service suite "ACTIONARISE," its cloud-based expense management system "Spendia," and the "accounting processing engine," which enables flexible data integration between the new system and business systems, were introduced, creating a suite of systems capable of flexibly responding to business growth and diversification. During the implementation, for each financial and accounting domain subject to the ERP package, business processes were aligned with the standard functions of the ERP package (Fit to Standard). With the dedicated cooperation of the finance and accounting departments, 95% of the standard functions of "Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications" were implemented without customization.
This is expected to enable timely and accurate grasp of management figures, such as centrally storing and managing group financial and management accounting information both domestically and internationally, and grasping business, organization, segment, and sub-segment performance and profitability analyses in real-time. Furthermore, through multi-faceted hierarchical analysis, business port...
