LONDON, UK - 19 September 2011 - Hitachi Consulting UK today announced that it has completed implementation of a Continual Improvement Programme for Mitsubishi UFJ Securities International plc. (MUSI). The upgraded IT systems, which included the Oracle E-Business Suite and Business Objects, are expected to enable MUSI to gain deeper, real time insight into its business reporting and management, and thereby help to dramatically reduce the IT lead time for delivering new requirements for the business.

As the usage of MUSI’s Oracle applications increased across the business over time, a backlog of required changes began to mount. The company’s internal IT team was busy with the day-to-day pressures of supporting the existing system and lacked the resources to complete enhancements and upgrades.
