About 90,000 companies* around the world have introduced it. Cloud-based content management suitable for My Number

Box is a secure cloud content management platform with unlimited capacity. It can also be used as a cloud storage to securely store confidential data including personal information such as My Number in place of conventional file servers.

It is used by approximately 90,000 companies ^{* around the world, and more than 4,500 companies*}​ ​ⁱⁿ Japan, mainly large companies and educational institutions.

We will introduce three features that match the work of local governments.

An example of "Box" utilization in a municipality. Realize digital first by linking with over 140* apps

Since "Box" has a variety of functions, even companies that initially introduced it as an alternative to cloud storage have gradually expanded the scope of application and realized efficiency in many cases. It can also be used in the following ways in local government operations.

<As a foundation for work style reform>

You can securely access necessary data from outside, such as civil engineering sites such as roads and forests, and local public facilities. You can also store on-site photos taken with your smartphone and work records at your business trip destination. You can realize an efficient work style without being tied to a place.

<As a basis for going paperless>

Files can be shared securely inside and outside the agency, reducing printed materials and promoting paperless operations. You can break away from the paper culture toward the realization of "digital first" administrative procedures with reduced printing costs.

<As a foundation for improving services for residents>

It can be used to improve services for residents by linking with more than 140 ^* applications in Japan. For example, it can be used in a variety of ways, such as "using electronic medical records for comprehensive regional care in conjunction with medical applications" and "strengthening safe regional development in cooperation with security camera image analysis applications."

It can be used not only as a simple cloud storage, but also as a platform to realize the "digital first", "one only", and "one stop" required for the digitization of administrative procedures.

An example of "Box" adoption in a local government. Effective in the initial response to the Kumamoto earthquake and torrential rains in western Japan

“Box” was also used during the Kumamoto earthquakes in April 2016. In Nishihara Village, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture, where a seismic intensity of 7 was observed, about two weeks after the disaster occurred, they built a "disaster victim application reception system" that combines multiple cloud solutions. "Box" was used as a storage place to centrally manage field survey photos and application form data, linking with household information. Investigators took pictures of the damage to buildings using the Box camera app, and saved the images in folders for each household on the spot from a tablet device. During the confusion in the early stages of restoration, it proved effective in efficient data management, real-time sharing, and sharing of judgment criteria among multiple groups.

Box Japan lent licenses free of charge to Hiroshima Prefecture, which was severely damaged by the heavy rains in western Japan in July 2018. , played a part in the initial response,” and received a letter of appreciation from the governor.

*As of March 2019

Macnica is the premier partner of Box in Japan.
Using the knowledge we have cultivated through our extensive experience, we can propose smooth implementation and effective collaboration with other applications.
