Opened Tohoku branch office and started collaborative business with IT companies in six Tohoku prefectures.

SoftBank Technology Corp. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shinichi Ata; hereinafter referred to as SBT) is an IT company in Tohoku, as well as Aomori, Iwate, Akita, Miyagi, Yamagata, and Fukushima prefectures. We are pleased to announce that we will begin a full-scale collaborative business to provide services necessary for cloud utilization and security measures to companies and local governments. Additionally, in April 2018, we established an office in Sendai City as the Tohoku Branch Office (Aoba Ward, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture) and will serve as our sales base for the Tohoku region.

SBT has a track record of providing homepage renewal, security measures, and security operation services mainly to local governments in the Tohoku region, and in 2016, SBT developed a 100-person development base in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture as a nearshore base for a metropolitan area development project. We have been promoting business in the Tohoku region, such as by opening a center.

Currently, SBT is developing services such as "clouXion," a new brand that accelerates companies' use of the cloud and supports business growth and transformation, and "Managed Security Services (MSS)," which provides security operation monitoring. We are strengthening our development. Through these services, the Tohoku branch will support partner IT companies in expanding the range of proposals, and once the service is introduced, the Tohoku branch will provide cloud and security operations by experts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

With the mission of revitalizing the Tohoku economy, SBT contributes to the creation of IT businesses for partner companies in the Tohoku region, and supports cloud utilization and security measures for companies and local governments in the Tohoku region.
