Saviynt's Identity Cloud Futureproofs LIXIL's Global Identity Management System
With a workforce of more than 53,000 employees, LIXIL turned to Saviynt for the flexibility to modernize its legacy processes without disrupting operations. The cloud-native solution met the company's global needs, including compliance with GDPR data residency requirements and support for Japanese-language user interfaces. LIXIL's implementation included successful collaboration with Saviynt Expert Services, ensuring a smooth multi-phase deployment.
'Prior to the implementation, we relied on manual processes and localized automation tools for many tasks such as employee onboarding and offboarding, attestations, reporting, and audit controls. Now we have automated account and access granting processes, along with centralized visibility across the company,' said Sandy Halim, global information security leader at LIXIL. 'Improved visibility and governance have led to meaningful improvements in LIXIL's overall security posture.'
Saviynt provides LIXIL with the following benefits from its Identity Cloud:
Improved User Experience: Streamlined employee onboarding/offboarding and self-service provisioning for over 70,000 internal and third-party users.
Granular Identity Visibility: Centralized and granular visibility across a diverse and expanding application ecosystem.
Proactive Audit Readiness: Automation, standardized controls, and enhanced reporting capabilities make audits faster and easier.
Global Compliance and Security: Simplified governance processes and improved reporting mitigate compliance and cybersecurity risks.
Efficient Third-Party Access Governance: Seamless integration of third-party access governance (TPAG) within a single platform, enabling easy extension of capabilities to a global network of vendors and contractors.
With Saviynt's support, LIXIL is now well-positioned to continue its cloud modernization journey. Looking ahead, LIXIL plans to implement Saviynt's privileged access management (PAM) solution and continue to onboard additional applications, expanding the scope of its identity governance initiatives.
'The exceptionally strong relationships we enjoyed with the LIXIL team in Japan – overcoming significant language and cultural barriers – contributed greatly to the success of this implementation,' said Karthik Satish Kumar, vice president of the customer office, APJ at Saviynt. 'This collaboration has helped both teams learn and grow, and we are grateful to LIXIL for the opportunity to partner on this transformative project.'

Leaked Prelude Pricing: Too Pricey for Its Own Good?
The Honda Prelude is making a comeback. On paper, it has all the right ingredients for a frugal sports coupe: sleek styling, a hybrid powertrain, and a nameplate that still resonates with enthusiasts. But according to a leak from Japanese outlet Creative Trend, it might arrive with a price tag that could alienate the very buyers who made it iconic. According to the leak, Honda will officially debut the new Prelude on September 4, and orders in Japan will open the next day. The first production run will be limited to just 2,000 units. The leaked Japanese MSRP puts the 2026 Prelude at ¥6,179,800, or roughly $41,000. That's significantly more than the Civic Type R, which starts at ¥4,997,300 in Japan. It also puts it uncomfortably close to the price of more performance-focused cars. A limited-run ON Edition will also be offered at launch for ¥6,540,000 (about $43,400), with unique details like a black roof and bundled extras. However, buyers must pay in full, are limited to one unit, and cannot resell it after purchase. For a Honda coupe, that's unusually exclusive. The Prelude shares its platform with the Civic, but Honda is treating it as more than a badge-engineering job. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter hybrid system with two electric motors, paired with a CVT. Brakes and suspension are adapted from the Civic Type R, and the Prelude gets heated seats, a digital dash, and a BOSE sound system. Adaptive dampers and 19-inch wheels come standard, along with Google-based infotainment. It seems like less of a reskinned Civic coupe, and more like a grown-up Type R that you can cruise in without needing a chiropractor. Its ¥6,179,800 ($41,000) price tag feels especially steep when compared to what else the market offers. The Nissan Z starts at ¥5,497,800 ($36,500) in Japan, while the BMW Z4 - imported from Austria - starts at ¥4,995,000 ($33,200). Both are rear-wheel-drive and pack more power. The Prelude, by contrast, is front-wheel-drive only and CVT-exclusive. If built in Japan, export fees could bump the US price even higher. Initially, we thought it would go head-to-head with cheaper, enthusiast-approved options like the Toyota GR86 and Mazda MX-5 Miata. But if not, it's hard to see how this version of the Prelude will connect with the younger buyers it seems to target. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

5 Japanese Cars That Will Have Massive Price Drops in the Fall of 2025
Summer is halfway over, which means you can start looking forward to not just cooler weather, but hot deals on cars. If you are in the market for a new ride and have your sights set on a Japanese brand of car, there's good news on the horizon: during the fall of 2025 several makes and models from Japan are set to see their prices go down, potentially giving drivers a good deal to get behind the wheel. See Next: Try This: GOBankingRates got in touch with Alex Black, automotive expert and chief marketing officer of EpicVIN. He shared the five Japanese cars that will have massive price drops in fall of 2025 based on EpicVIN auction trends and dealership stock. 2021 to 2023 Toyota Camry Estimated Price Drop: $2,000 and $2,500 Toyota produced too many of these Camrys before focusing more attention on hybrids. Black has seen lots of used ones available at the dealers and customers desire SUVs, with large discounts will likely sell through metal ahead of 2026 deliveries. For You: 2020 to 2022 Honda Accord Estimated Price Drop: $1,800 and $2,200 'The new-gen Accord isn't selling like Honda expected,' Black said. 'More used Accords are entering the market as leases expire. More of a good thing? No, it means resale values decrease.' 2022 and 2023 Nissan Altima Estimated Price Drop: up to $3,000 According to Black, the Altima market is slow for Nissan and fleet renters are disposing of thousands in the fall. 'That'll bring the private market prices lower as well,' Black said. 2020 to 2022 Subaru Impreza Estimated Price Drop: $1,500 and $2,000 'Crosstrek and Outback are winning over Subaru customers,' Black explained. 'The sparkle of Impreza has worn off and used ones are stockpiling at the dealership.' 2021 Mazda CX Estimated Price Drop: around $2,000 In Black's professional opinion, the car market's full of mini crossovers nowadays. 'Mazda's putting out new CX versions, so used CX-5s will need to be priced lower to be competitive,' Black said. 'We're getting advance pre-season signals that prices of a few favorite Japanese rides are heading south later in the fall,' Black explained, adding a pro tip to buyers hoping to cash in on the drop in pricing in the second half of 2025. 'If you're purchasing later this year, go bargain hunting in late October or early November. That's the time of year car people panic to make year-end clearance-doubly so if interest rates remain high and buyers continue to wait.'
