Case Study: Hitachi Data Systems achieves 75% ROI and improved global communication with Rosetta Stone

Hitachi - Customer Case Study

Hitachi Data Systems, a US-headquartered subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd., needed a scalable language-learning solution to improve communication across a highly decentralized global workforce. The company sought a flexible, multi-language program available anytime, anywhere and on multiple devices so employees worldwide could study asynchronously and reinforce skills away from their desktops.

HDS implemented Rosetta Stone Foundations for Business with manager-approved, cost‑center‑charged licenses, Admin tools, Training/Implementation/Support outreach, Live Tutoring, mobile apps and an internal collaboration hub; participants committed to a minimum of four hours per month. The program improved job-related language skills, enhanced development plans, boosted employee engagement and retention, and generated tuition savings of over $200 per participant annually—about a 75% ROI.
