Flect's New Venture: Aiming for Enhanced Digital Support for SMEs
Flect, a prominent cloud integrator based in Tokyo, has recently signed a significant contract with the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency (SMEA) of Japan. This engagement involves the secondary development and operational maintenance of ‘Degiwith,’ a digital support portal designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
What is Degiwith?
Degiwith is a comprehensive portal that embodies the integration of existing platforms previously managed by SMEA, known as the IT Platform and Miradigi. This initiative, launched in April 2024, focuses on aiding the digital transformation of SMEs across Japan. With the digital landscape evolving rapidly, providing effective tools and resources has never been more critical for SMEs striving to keep pace with new technologies and market demands.
The Objectives of the Secondary Development
The secondary development contract allows Flect to enhance the functionality and quality of Degiwith. The primary objectives include:
1. Expanding the existing features to further improve user experience.
2. Implementing new functionalities designed to optimize the workflow of support institutions and SMEA staff.
3. Enhancing overall effectiveness and reliability, ensuring that Degiwith becomes a practical tool for SMEs in their daily operations.
With the contract set to run from June 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026, Flect is committed to delivering solutions that increase the usability and adaptability of Degiwith. By improving the platform, they hope it will not only be a tool for digital support but also a driving force behind the growth and sustainability of small businesses in Japan.
