GLASIAOUS, a cloud-based international accounting and ERP service, has enabled comfortable SaaS usage even at a communication speed of only 2 Mbps by improving communication data compression technology and UI/UX. This enables comfortable service use even in areas with weak lines, such as countries and usage environments.
<Issues in using SaaS overseas>
The spread of remote work and the digitization of work has accelerated after the COVID19 Disaster, and there may be more opportunities to conduct business through the Internet, such as chat rooms and web conferencing. In these days of accelerating digitalization, many companies are choosing cloud computing (SaaS) services for their business operations, and Internet communication speed has become an inseparable issue in business operations to exchange large amounts of corporate data.
Especially in foreign countries where Internet infrastructure is inadequately developed, the use of cloud services can have an impact on operational efficiency.
What is the Internet communication situation overseas?
When we verified the Internet speed at a hotel in India, the download speed was about 8 Mbps and the upload speed was about 9 Mbps. In Japanese offices, the speed is about 70 to 100 Mbps, so there is a big difference regarding the connection speed.
The ping value represents the response speed of the Internet, and it is said that "36ms to 50ms" is a standard value.
If this number is high, screen and audio rattling is likely to occur, especially during web conferencing and video viewing.

GLASIAOUS processing speeds abroad
We spoke to Nippon Management India, which has an accounting office in India. In urban areas such as Delhi, we don't have much of a problem with the telecommunication environment in India, but in some areas the connection speed is slow, and sometimes it is slow depending on the network selected. However, in some areas the connection speed is slow, and depending on the network selected, it can be slow. I use GLASIAOUS in my daily work in India and I have no problem with the processing speed, I never feel it is slow."
In addition, when we performed GLASIAOUS operation in Vietnam with tethering (line speed of about 2 Mbps), the operation was smooth and almost the same as the feeling of operation in Japan.
For actual operation videos, please see the following videos.

<Realization of a comfortable cloud environment>
In GLASIAOUS, various innovations are being implemented.
①By using communication data compression technology, the amount of communication is suppressed and pages can be loaded in a short period of time.
②Screen layouts that display the minimum necessary items can improve screen display speed.
③We analyze UI/UX and adopt a design that allows users to operate the system in fewer steps.
ex.）・Narrowing down the master by text input
・Drill down from the search screen
These innovations enable smooth use even in areas with weak lines.
GLASIAOUS will continue to make further improvements as a cloud service that can be used comfortably by users anywhere in the world.
