KAMATSU Communications and Urth Join Forces for Practical BCP Training

KAMATSU Communications, a leader in the telecommunications sector, has announced an exciting collaboration with Urth, a startup specializing in metaverse development. Together, they are launching a unique disaster response training package named 'Metatell Disaster Training'. This innovative program aims to address the growing need for effective business continuity planning (BCP) training in light of an increase in disaster events recently seen across Japan.

Addressing a Growing Need for Disaster Preparedness

The past few years have seen a rise in catastrophic events due to intense rain and flooding in various regions of Japan. This has created an urgent demand among companies for enhanced investment in flood management strategies and the maintenance of supply chains. Traditional disaster training often involves passive learning methods, such as reading manuals or performing uniform evacuation drills. This approach has proven insufficient in developing on-site decision-making abilities in unexpected situations.

Key Features of Metatell Disaster Training

1. Cost-Effective On-Demand Training:
One of the standout features of the Metatell Disaster Training is its affordability. Rather than requiring companies to invest in expensive custom metaverse spaces, this package utilizes a standardized training template available on-demand. This drastically reduces the cost to a manageable 200,000 yen per year (excluding tax).

2. Diverse Training Scenarios for Critical Needs:
The training encompasses four highly requested scenarios: fire, earthquake, flood, and heatstroke – specifically designed for workplaces like offices, factories, and outdoor environments. The focus on flood response training addresses an immediate demand from corporate clients.

3. Practical Decision-Making Exercises:
Each training session lasts approximately five minutes, presenting trainees with seven crucial decision points to choose from in a multiple-choice format. Participants engage in simulated real-life scenarios, allowing them to experience the consequences of their choices and develop practical decision-making skills in a safe environment.

4. Automated Reporting and Progress Tracking:
The program includes a management dashboard that automatically records participation rates, correct answer statistics, and understanding levels for each question. This feature simplifies creating comprehensive reports for executives, making it easier to assess and unify disaster preparedness within the organization.

Free Demo Environment Available

To help companies experience the training first-hand, KAMATSU Communications has provided a free demo environment. This allows potential clients to interact with both the trainee interface and the management dashboard without needing to install dedicated applications. Interested companies can contact KAMATSU Communications to schedule a demo.

Future Outlook

KAMATSU Communications and Urth plan to expand their training templates continuously. Moreover, they aim to broaden their offerings beyond disaster training to tackle pressing concerns in corporate compliance and risk management, such as various harassment issues and information security.
