OBC and Bugin System Service Co., Ltd. Begin Collaboration to Promote Efficiency and Strengthen Security in Financial Transaction Operations

OBC (OBC Co., Ltd., President: Narifumi Wada / Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo), a developer and seller of core business systems such as Bugyo Cloud, has entered into a business matching agreement with Bugin System Service Co., Ltd. (President: Yutaka Amada / Headquarters: Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture), a group company of Musashino Bank, to promote efficiency and strengthen security in financial transaction operations for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), primarily in Saitama Prefecture.

Background of the Collaboration

In recent years, while the economy is on a recovery trend, SMEs face urgent challenges in improving operational efficiency and productivity due to chronic labor shortages and the individualization of operations. Against this backdrop, regional companies are required to undertake new initiatives to solve management issues. This collaboration was realized based on the alignment of both companies' philosophies, which aim to revitalize the regional economy and strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs. Moving forward, both companies will jointly hold seminars and conduct implementation support activities to accelerate DX promotion across the region and further improve customer services. As part of this, a business matching agreement in the DX domain has been concluded.

Initiatives and Collaborative Structure

We will proceed with building a system and mechanism to support DX promotion utilizing business cloud services for customers of Bugin System Service and SMEs mainly in Saitama Prefecture. In addition, to respond to rapidly changing IT needs and revisions to laws and regulations, we will continuously disseminate the latest information to customers through seminars and other means.

Bugin System Service plays a role as a regional financial institution group company, continuing activities to strengthen the management foundation and support the sustainable growth of regional companies. OBC, based on its 'Bugyo Cloud,' which consolidates the technical capabilities and know-how cultivated over many years through the development and sales of core business systems, will collaborate with Bugin System Service to support the DX promotion of regional companies.
