On June 4, 2018, Daiwabo Information System Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as DIS: Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka; President: Yoshihiro Nogami) opened the DIS Estimation support center for Microsoft Azure, to offer consultation and estimate support for sales of the Microsoft cloud platform, Azure (hereafter referred to as Azure), from Microsoft Japan Co., Ltd., through cloud solution provider (CSP) programs.

■i-KAZUCHI
i-KAZUCHI is the management portal for subscription services, including cloud service, designed for DIS dealers. It allows them to reduce the man-hours required for order placement for diversifying subscription-type cloud services, and to unify the management of contracts of continuous stock business, such as monthly and yearly charges, and contractors. It also satisfies the requirements for complicated cloud charging systems such as pay-as-you-go charging. It began handling Microsoft CSP (Cloud Solution Provider) products in August 2016, and currently handles 33 services from 15 suppliers.

■Endorsement on the opening of the DIS Estimation support center for Microsoft Azure
The support for Windows Server 2008/R2 and Windows 7 will end in January 2020, and we believe that the termination of the support will create an opportunity to stimulate demand for business reform using digital transformation, such as the strengthening of security measures and promotion of work style reform, especially at small- and medium-sized companies. We fully expect that the DIS Estimation support center for Microsoft Azure will be of great benefit to the business of DIS dealers and the working environment of their customers, in making the shift to a cloud computing environment, while promoting business continuity plan (BCP) measures and hybrid configurations.
Microsoft Japan continues to provide innovative cloud services in collaboration with Daiwabo Information System Co., Ltd.
