kickflow Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Taito Shigematsu) announced that its cloud-based workflow system, 'kickflow,' has been adopted as the workflow infrastructure for the 'ID Governance Management Solution' launched by Hitachi Solutions Create, Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President: Shoichi Minami) on May 28, 2026.

With the widespread adoption of cloud services, the number of IDs managed within companies is surging. Situations such as 'accounts of resigned employees remaining active' or 'lack of visibility into who can access which systems' pose significant security risks and create heavy burdens for audit compliance. However, applying a uniform solution to the diverse organizational structures and system environments of different companies is challenging. Hitachi Solutions Create addresses this with its 'ID Governance Management Solution,' optimized for each company's environment.

The ID Governance Management Solution utilizes a 'best-of-breed' architecture, combining optimal products for data integration platforms (IPaaS), cloud authentication platforms (IDaaS), and workflow platforms. It processes authorization change requests triggered by lifecycle events such as hiring, transfers, and resignations as approval workflows. By linking with HR information, it automatically reflects changes in various systems, eliminating oversight and manual errors. It also stores records of 'who approved what and when,' serving as an audit trail. kickflow was selected as the workflow platform product to automate these processes.

kickflow is a cloud-based approval and workflow system developed for mid-to-large enterprises. Born from insights gathered from over 300 companies, it is designed as a next-generation workflow system optimized for enterprise use. It features robust support for organizational changes and personnel transfers, extensive API capabilities, a sophisticated UI/UX, and advanced security support, with a proven track record of operation in companies with hundreds to thousands of employees.
