Strengthening the Partnership: Change Holdings and Bloom Act
Change Holdings, led by CEO Daishi Fukutome, and Bloom Act, headed by CEO Takano Takumi, are joining forces to enhance digital transformation (DX) within local government operations. Based in Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, Bloom Act has previously collaborated with Change Holdings to streamline operational processes in financial institutions and local governments. Their efforts aim to promote DX by utilizing the online customer support system, ROOMS.
Background of the Collaboration
Both companies have actively worked together with the goal of driving the DX of counter services in financial institutions and local government offices. Through the implementation of the ROOMS system, they have successfully supported the transition towards non-face-to-face and digital interactions. Building on this experience, they are now set to develop and sell a new SPOKES plan specifically designed for local governments, focusing on the DX of explanation tasks and improving information dissemination efficiency.
Digital Transformation of Local Government Operations with SPOKES
Local governments are responsible for relaying a multitude of information to residents daily, including system guidelines, various procedures, disaster prevention, and welfare information. However, challenges such as the reliance on individuals for repetitive explanations and the difficulty of providing multilingual support have affected the quality of resident services. SPOKES addresses these challenges by offering a technology-driven solution. By simply uploading paper materials like PowerPoint presentations, staff can efficiently create narrated videos without the need for filming or recording. This approach allows anyone to produce easily understandable videos, thereby minimizing dependence on paper material and standardizing information delivery.
The generated videos come with viewing logs, providing insights into when content was viewed and which sections received the most attention. This transparency allows for improved communication strategies and verification of information outreach effectiveness. By transforming the traditional reliance on printed materials into a standardized video format, organizations can reduce costs associated with conveying information while ensuring that messages are clear and comprehensible to viewers.
