■Background

Nowadays, as domestic companies expand overseas and the outsourcing of system operations is accelerating, some problems with system operations at overseas bases include, ``The outsourced operations only speaks in Japanese, and it is not possible to directly contact the local person in charge.'' Communication gaps due to language differences and lead times due to time differences such as ``it is difficult to respond quickly in an emergency if contact is made through the head office'' are cited. Particularly in the operation of security systems, when an incident such as the detection of unauthorized access occurs, a quick response is required, so we provide a global network where you can directly contact local personnel 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, regardless of time difference or language. An increasing number of companies are required to respond.

■About MSS
