Uchida Yoko Co., Ltd. has constructed a next-generation school administration DX infrastructure for the Fuchu City Board of Education, supporting approximately 21,000 users (2,000 staff members and 19,000 students across 33 elementary and junior high schools). Operations for staff began in January 2026, with full-scale deployment including student environments starting in April.

To ensure a safe and comfortable working environment, the infrastructure adopts a zero-trust network centered on SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), which integrates network and security operations in the cloud. By redesigning the previously separated administrative and learning networks, staff can now work from anywhere using a single device. Additionally, an integrated authentication platform supporting multi-factor authentication has been deployed for student learning environments, balancing convenience and security.

Furthermore, the system integrates Microsoft 365 Education A5 and Google Workspace, and has initiated the use of generative AI (Microsoft 365 Copilot) by staff to promote operational efficiency and work-style reform. This project serves as a model case compliant with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's (MEXT) "Next-Generation School Administration DX" and "Educational Information Security Policy" guidelines. The scale of 21,000 users combined with zero-trust, integrated authentication, and generative AI makes this one of the most advanced educational ICT environments in Japan.

The Uchida Yoko Group leverages its long-standing expertise in education and advanced ICT to provide end-to-end support, from zero-trust infrastructure construction and device deployment to authentication integration, maintenance, ICT support staff, and generative AI utilization. Beyond mere system implementation, the company provides comprehensive support for Fuchu City's educational DX through a "hands-on" approach tailored to school operations.
