THE STAR, a back-office system for securities companies, has completed 50 years of operation.

In recent years, there has been an increase in SaaS＊1 and other shared-use services, in which various items and services are shared with others rather than owned by each individual.

NRI offers online shared services based on decades of expertise. A key example is THE STAR, a service that supports the administrative operations of securities fi rms. This system has been in operation since 1974, long before the term SaaS existed, and has supported securities trading in Japan for 50 years. In securities companies, where transactions require instant decisions, immediacy is essential. Stability, reliability, and robustness are also crucial, as any disruption to securities trading can have a ripple eff ect on the economy. THE STAR", used by 86 securities firms＊2, has evolved to meet its social responsibility of ensuring stable operations while supporting our customers' business transformation. It also contributes to business continuity in the event of disasters, rapid response to regulatory changes, promotion of remote working, and work style reform by improving operational effi ciency.

NRI will continue to contribute to the development of the Japanese economy by ensuring the stable operation of shared services and continuing to innovate in response to changing times, thereby facilitating safe and smooth securities trading.
