Public system integration

In the 1980s, municipalities began to be expected to play a role in preserving critical data and protecting personal information. Against this background, around 1984, K’s launched a municipal division with the aim of supporting the development, installation, and operation of mission-critical systems centered on resident data management, which is one of the fundamental elements of municipal operations. Since then, we have steadily increased the number of organizations that trust us and entrust maintenance and operation by continuously proposing system modifications in response to national system revisions, and the installation and operation of systems suitable to each municipality. In the Great Heisei Merger, we were the first company to convert the mission-critical systems to a web system, and responded to the wave of digitization swiftly. Currently, in addition to responding to the “Standardization of Municipal Systems” promoted by the Digital Agency established in 2021, we have developed our own “smart contact system” as a new solution in line with the “Municipal DX Promotion Plan” and are proposing the reform of operations of municipal staff.

K’s system engineers have inherited a wealth of knowledge, experience, and skills in the installation, operation support, and system development of mission-critical systems for municipalities, which we have cultivated over the years. We will listen to your requests, analyze the current situation including potential issues, and propose optimal systems, operation methods, and improvement plans.

“K’s OSC” makes it possible for multiple municipalities to share a system. This has the great advantage of reducing development and operation costs and avoiding risks such as system failures and IT personnel shortages.

Computers have been installed in all schools since 2000, and information education began in full swing in elementary and junior high schools from 2002 to 2006. In line with this, the ICT environment became more advanced, with classes that used Office software and the Internet, which had been popular up to that point, being replaced by classes using learning drill software and class support software and a large number of servers being installed in schools. Since that time, the development of the education market and technological changes have been remarkable, and we established an independent and specialized department as the Education Sales Department and started on a path of growth together with our customers. Today, as an ICT utilization professional, we continue to support school education, assist teachers and staff, and contribute to the growth of children every day.

For over 40 years, K’s has responded to a wide variety of needs, and has specialized staff with a wealth of know-how and skills cultivated in their respective fields. In the field of education, we propose optimal solutions by grasping customer issues from multiple perspectives as we have ICT education planners who are versed in the use of ICT to enhance the effectiveness of education, education supervisors who work with boards of education to support the entire region, and engineers who provide support from a technical perspective.

ICT lesson planners not only provide general ICT support services, such as operational support for teachers, staff and students and the maintenance of a classroom environment, but also propose lessons and support the creation of ICT-based teaching materials, which take into consideration the curriculum guidelines and school needs. In addition, we provide comprehensive services to support such education through the development of communication environment infrastructure in schools and communities. Furthermore, we are working to improve our technical skills related to educational tools such as Google and Apple, and deepening our knowledge of highly effective lesson content by studying under university professors, information expert teachers, and specialists in the field of education. We aim to propose plans for using ICT in the classroom that draw your students’ interests and curiosity.

It was around 1980 when K’s began its business of developing and supporting the installation of medical accounting systems for medical institutions. After that, we expanded our business by selling and installing Fujitsu’s HOPE series of medical accounting systems, and in 2000 and afterwards, when medical institutions shifted their mission-critical systems from medical accounting systems to electronic medical record systems covering the entire hospital, we also began selling and installing electronic medical record systems. Currently, we have expanded our business domain from healthcare to nursing care and health checkups, and currently provide systemization proposals and support more than 100 medical institutions.

Our staff with expertise in healthcare, health checkups, and nursing care identify issues unique to each customer and provide solutions to improve business operations, including proposals and construction of optimal systems. In addition, even after the system is put into operation, our experienced and specialized staff will provide reliable and accurate support for your operations. Utilizing the knowledge accumulated over many years, we respond quickly to ever-changing system revisions and back up our customers’ operations.

Systems related to healthcare, health checkups, and nursing care require thorough measures to prevent, avoid, and recover from trouble, due to the nature of operations in these fields. K’s can provide a one-stop service, including hardware sales, maintenance support, construction of an underlying network environment, and software sales, construction, and maintenance support. In the event of a system failure, K’s can provide a system that minimizes the impact on business operations by restoring the system in the shortest amount of time possible.
