- New Platform to Deliver Superior
Customer Experience and Lower Costs by up to 40%
OSG Corporation., one of Japan's leading cutting tool manufacturers,

transform its legacy e-Commerce platform. The new digital commerce

geographies. In the first phase of deployment, the platform will
support OSG's customers in Japan,

South East Asia and Europe.
"Our e-Commerce portal is one of the centerpieces of our
business. That's why Infosys CommerceEdge is such a valuable tool
for us. This innovative platform gives us both the flexibility and
functionality we need to make it easier for our customers to
do business with us," Koji

still is the fact that Infosys hosts and manages the CommerceEdge
platform. So there are no incremental investments for OSG."
