Daiwabo Information System Co., Ltd.
Daiwabo Information System Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as DIS: Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka; President: Yoshihiro Nogami) now offers Meraki Managed Service, designed to provide bundled services including monitoring, operations, and maintenance of Cisco Meraki, the cloud-managed network product developed and marketed by Cisco Systems G.K. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and General Manager: Dave West). The service is offered through iKAZUCHI, the subscription management portal managed by DIS.
Cisco Meraki is a network product that allows for centralized management through the Cisco Meraki Dashboard, a cloud-managed platform provided by Cisco Systems. The “cloud-management function” performed by the dashboard can streamline the operations management of networks, such as large networks comprising a number of bases, or small-scale networks without administrators, regardless of the location and size of the organization.
By offering Meraki Managed Service, DIS aims to achieve three related ends: promoting to our users and dealers “new network operations management” utilizing the “cloud-management function” performed by Cisco Meraki; reducing the load involved in operations management of complicated networks, which has become a serious problem in many organizations; and contributing to the digital transformation (DX) in Japan. Utilizing the service will make it possible to operate networks and respond to communication failures in an active manner, in contrast to the passive responses that currently prevail. As a result, it is possible to provide a network environment where users can stably and effortlessly utilize data communications that rapidly expand due to cloud utilization.
At the same time, DIS promotes the expansion of the cloud business while energizing the market in collaboration with dealers.

■On Cisco Meraki
Cisco Meraki is a completely cloud-manageable network solution. Since it allows for bundled management of products such as wireless LAN, switches, security and SD-WAN, and security cameras, using its cloud dashboard, it can enable a simple network environment in every organization, regardless of the network scale and location, from a head office to a business base or home office.
Dave West, the President and General Manager of Cisco Systems G.K., states, “Cisco Systems warmly welcomes Daiwabo Information System’s commencement of provision of Meraki Managed Service. Cisco Meraki is a cloud-managed solution ideally suited to the digital age. Its cloud-managed dashboard function provides infrastructure for future digital marketing and automation, in addition to dramatically reducing the man-hours and response time of IT administrators. We believe that, through its 19,000 dealers across the country, Daiwabo Information System will motivate partners and users nationwide to accelerate digital transformation.”
Hiroyuki Matsumoto, Managing Director of Daiwabo Information System, states, “Achieving a stable network environment is vital to the promotion of digital transformation in any organization. Through our business bases and dealers, we are actively encouraging our customers to introduce Meraki Managed Service, to reduce the time required for operations management of Cisco Meraki, and to establish a stable network; thereby helping our customers to accelerate the speed of their business, and contributing to the promotion of Japan’s digital transformation.”
