■ Background of this support

In March 2021, Saitama Prefecture formulated the ``Saitama Prefecture Digital Transformation Promotion Plan,'' which stipulates policies and measures to promote digitalization of government and DX of society as a whole. By steadily promoting the digitalization of government and permeating digital infrastructure as a social infrastructure, we aim to realize "DX of the entire society" and transform into a new Saitama Prefecture that is comfortable, prosperous, and truly easy to live in. I am.
In order to realize the ``paperless transition'' and ``telework'' that are being promoted as part of this plan, Macnica will act as the primary agent for the content cloud-based ``Box'' and cloud-based identity management/integrated authentication services in general competitive bidding. ``Okta'' and other products such as web communication handled by partner companies have been adopted to provide support.

■ Specific initiatives for this support

In order to digitize administrative work, we utilized Box to digitize information assets that had been dispersed across various systems and cabinets within the agency, converted them to the cloud, and created a system that allows for centralized management. Since there are large-scale personnel transfers of employees on a regular basis, Hakonnect, a provisioning tool originally developed by Macnica, was also introduced to create an environment that automatically manages Box accounts, creates folders, grants access rights, and performs other tasks. The acquisition of file browsing and download logs can be used to prevent information leaks and internal fraud.
Okta was also used as an identity management platform to provide single sign-on to cloud services such as Box and Web Communication. For enhanced security, multi-factor authentication is also implemented. by comprehensively capturing user information scattered in LDAP and CSV files, Okta has built an identity management infrastructure that supports the use of cloud services while maintaining the management system in the private cloud.

■ Effects of introduction

In addition to creating an environment where work can be continued through telework, the following effects are being demonstrated.

[Box]
・90% paperless effect (in the model department at the time of trial)
・The storage location of materials is centralized, and management and searchability are improved.
・Hakonnect automates and streamlines authorization when personnel changes occur
・Strengthening security by supporting ISMAP and acquiring logs for viewing and downloading
・Compliance with Japanese law by storing data in the Japan region

[Okta]
・Improved convenience through single sign-on to multiple cloud services
・Improving security when using cloud services from outside the agency through multi-factor authentication
・Reduce the man-hours required for version upgrades by moving the authentication infrastructure to the cloud (IDaaS)
・Import user information from multiple data sources (Active Directory, LDAP server, CSV file) and integrate it into the cloud
・High availability of 99.99% and ensuring security level by complying with Japanese law

In addition, we have received the following comments regarding our efforts toward this support.

Mr. Katsunori Furuichi President of Box Japan Co., Ltd.

Since our founding, the Company 's mission has been to transform work styles, and we have created the optimal digital workplace through "Best of Breed" collaboration with multiple SaaS and cloud solutions, centered on the content cloud "Box." We have been promoting the realization of this goal. We are very pleased to be able to provide Saitama Prefecture, with the support of Macnica, with the ``Best of Breed'' system that enables prefectural government employees to work in a highly productive way and achieve work-life balance. I'm here. Together with the Company many partners, we will continue to work even harder to promote a "digital workplace" that supports the diverse work styles required by society.

Mr. Takashi Watanabe President of Okta Japan Co., Ltd.

With the support of Macnica, Saitama Prefecture's DX efforts are progressing, and Okta, as the gateway to various cloud services, will play a role in realizing an environment that balances both convenience and security. I am very happy that I was able to do this. Okta is an identity management authentication platform used by more than 15,000 customers around the world, with the vision of "creating a world where everyone can use any technology securely." Starting with this, we will work actively with Macnica to provide services and make further improvements so that many Japanese companies and organizations, including local governments and public organizations, can use technology safely. .
