HoshinCloud (HOL) is a cloud based, automated software for deploying strategy and integrated project management on a social networking (internal to your company) style easy to use platform.
Usually senior leaders in a company use this and those who are inspired to work “on the business” than just “in the business”.
Hoshin Kanri is a Japanese phrase.
Hoshin means: Direction / Compass and Kanri means: Management.
It is a proven system used and popularized by many LEAN companies like Toyota. Traditional system requires a lot of manual documentation which is quite tedious to maintain. Combined the power of Hoshin Kanri process and SAAS (Software as a service on the Cloud) is HoshinCloud. This online system automates the documentation and makes it easy and intuitive.
You could be up and running in a few days. No need to install anything. You need to enter goals, strategies and key initiatives to start using the systems. Also, need to set up the organization structure and user permissions as needed.

Technical
All data sent to or received from HoshinCloud is encrypted using the same technology you use to communicate with your bank, and because of that we are trusted by some of the largest companies in the world. You can lock down what individual users and groups within your organization have access to edit.
That said, you shouldn’t store sensitive information such as social security numbers, medical information, or nuclear launch codes in HoshinCloud (also: why would you?).
In the event of a major catastrophic event, we keep up-to-the-minute hot backups that we can use to restore the entire system. In addition, we recommend that all our customers keep their own copies of their data which can be managed directly inside HoshinCloud.
Generally we “release” a new version of the product two times a month. The releases most often contain minor enhancements requested by specific customers or minor bug fixes, but they also sometimes contain major feature enhancements that we’ve been working on for months. In certain cases, we will roll feature enhancements out for general usage, and in other cases these may only be turned on for beta testers. In either case, we do not require work on our users’ part to take advantage of new features. We communicate these changes through our monthly product newsletter that is sent out to all customers.
Nope! In fact, a major benefit to you in using a cloud-based system like HoshinCloud is that there is nothing special you have to do to get access to the new features that we’re constantly working on; they’ll just be there the next time you log in.
There are several ways to get support. While our Online Help module is a great resource to get your questions answered, you can contact us via email at support@hoshinonline.com or call us at (800)808-6579.
