Case Study: Mitsui & Co. achieves work-style innovation and digital transformation with Microsoft Corporation

Mitsui builds new IT infrastructure to bring about work-style innovation and digital transformation

Mitsui & Co., a large Japanese trading company, needed a modern IT foundation to support digital transformation and work-style innovation across 42,000 employees in 66 countries. The company wanted better communication, knowledge sharing, and paperless operations, while also maintaining strong security and usability. Microsoft Corporation provided the platform, centered on Microsoft 365 E5 with Azure Active Directory, Teams, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Yammer.

Microsoft Corporation implemented a cloud-based collaboration and authentication environment that enabled centralized information management and more efficient meetings and email workflows. As a result, Mitsui & Co. reduced meeting time by about 10% on average, cut paper use by about 20% overall and up to 70% in some departments, and improved company-wide communication and productivity.
