Key Factors Leading to Successful Relocation of Shiki City Hall and Network Stability

Key Factors in Shiki City Hall's Relocation and Network Stability

In a significant case study published recently, Japan System Corporation detailed its assistance in the successful relocation of Shiki City Hall in Saitama Prefecture. The project aimed to provide a seamless transition while maintaining uninterrupted network operations, amid the challenges posed by outdated infrastructure and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background and Challenges of the City Hall Relocation

Due to aging infrastructure in the former city hall, Shiki City made the decision to construct a new facility. However, construction had to occur on the same site, necessitating a complex relocation process that involved distributing operations across five temporary locations. This required careful planning to ensure continuity in administrative services.

Moreover, the project posed a significant challenge as it demanded all IT systems—including core and information-related systems—remain operational throughout not just the relocation itself, but also during the transition between the old, temporary, and new city hall. The added complexities of the pandemic also heightened the urgency for improvements to wireless networks and the introduction of business communication tools, leading to a surge in new requirements that had to be addressed simultaneously.

Transition Post-Relocation

Once the relocation took place, Shiki City successfully managed the phased transition from the old and temporary buildings to the new city hall without any key system downtimes. Remarkably, the final move from the temporary facility to the new city hall was completed within a narrow window of just three days, effectively minimizing disruption to municipal operations.

Japan System played a vital role throughout both the pre-relocation and post-relocation phases. The company maintained effective communication and operational support by conducting regular meetings and ensuring ongoing maintenance. This approach enabled city officials, even after personnel changes, to have reliable access to consultation, thereby ensuring smooth operations of all systems.
