Metaps Holdings and the Shift to Digitalization

As Japan pushes forward with digital transformation, local governments are embracing the need for better cost management especially in light of the recently passed 'Standardization Law' in 2023. This law has catalyzed the unification of core business systems across municipalities, with a significant focus on migrating to the 'Government Cloud'. Among the platforms being utilized, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has become increasingly popular, but with this transition come unique challenges related to tracking and managing costs effectively.

In such a landscape, Metaps Holdings, based in Shibuya and led by President Yuichiro Yamazaki, is set to display its AWS cost management tool, 'srest', at the upcoming '5th Digitalization and DX Promotion Exhibition' (ODEX) from June 4th to June 6th, 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight. This event specifically caters to local government officials seeking solutions for digitalization and cost management.

Addressing Cost Management Challenges

The migration to cloud services can introduce a complex and unpredictable cost structure, markedly different from the traditional on-premises systems that many local governments are used to. The cloud pricing, which is based on usage, necessitates detailed analytical capabilities for effective oversight. Absent this, municipalities risk exceeding budgets or incurring unnecessary expenses. Additionally, allocating costs between different departments adds another layer of complexity, imposing a significant burden on information policy and finance departments within local governments.

To address these challenges, srest aims to facilitate the digital transformation of local governments by aiding them in managing and optimizing their AWS spending. Beginning a pilot program in March 2025 within Nagoya’s Government Cloud environment, Metaps has focused on enhancing visibility into costs associated with multiple AWS accounts and providing appropriate allocation management to enhance operational efficiency.

Experience the Solutions at ODEX 2025

During ODEX, attendees can witness firsthand how srest can tackle the pressing issues surrounding cloud migration costs and operational efficiencies. The exhibition is an opportunity for municipalities feeling the pressure of digital transformation to engage directly with the solutions that could simplify their transition to the cloud.
