RKKCS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture; President: Atsushi Kaneko), a provider of in-house developed systems to local governments and financial institutions nationwide, is releasing the second volume of 'CLUE', a book version of its newsletter explaining the latest trends to municipal users.

This book includes reflections on municipal system standardization, which reached its initial deadline at the end of fiscal 2025, overseas municipal DX cases, and reports on AI, which has been developing at an astonishing speed in recent years.

Furthermore, in a 'Special Interview', Professor Osamu Sudo, an authority in academia who became a Fellow of the RKKCS Research Lab in April 2026, explores corporate value in the era of AI symbiosis and the '2040 problem'.

The title 'CLUE' refers to a hint or lead, and the company hopes it will be useful for not only information system departments in municipalities but also a wide range of municipal-related departments.
