“Con-Bridge”, a service specialized in the construction industry and for workplaces, is available starting today.

SB Technology Corp. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President ＆ CEO: Shinichi Ata, hereinafter referred to as SBT) is an industry-specific service for construction workplaces developed with the aim of solving problems unique to construction workplaces. Con-Bridge” will be available starting today.

"Con-Bridge" supports the resolution of various issues at construction sites by implementing functions that correspond to site needs, centered on integrated ID management that utilizes SBT 's unique authentication platform. This time, as the first feature to be implemented, we will provide a secure cloud-based file sharing feature. Integrated ID management enables accurate and efficient personnel management at construction sites where information workers often come and go, and cloud-based file sharing functionality enables flexible work styles, reducing management man-hours. This allows you to reduce costs, improve security levels, and improve the efficiency of on-site operations. Con-Bridge can also be linked with application authentication such as Microsoft 's authentication platform Azure AD and cloud storage Box.
Going forward, we will continue to implement new functions one after another and expand the scope of ICT utilization with Con-Bridge as our core, in an effort to further improve operational efficiency.

Overview of features planned to be implemented or considered in Con-Bridge

■Background
In the construction industry, the DX movement is gaining momentum, with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announcing a policy to promote operational efficiency through construction DX. In response to new ways of working in the new normal era, construction worksites have changed face-to-face meetings that used to be held at the worksite to online, non-face-to-face meetings, or held meetings at a location other than the worksite, such as at home. The shift to new ways of working that utilize IT tools is accelerating. On the other hand, in construction sites where many people come and go, managing the people (IDs) who handle information becomes complicated, and it is important to ensure that people (IDs) are accurate and secure when promoting the utilization of information. Efficient management has become a major challenge.

Issues in utilizing ICT in workplace operations

We believed that an authentication platform that performs integrated ID management was necessary to solve this problem, and we developed ``Con-Bridge'' by leveraging the cloud and security knowledge we have cultivated over the years. The authentication platform utilizes SBT proprietary authentication technology, which has a proven track record in implementing Office 365.
In the future, SBT will not only implement new functions, but also expand the functions of "Con-Bridge" with a view to linking with external services such as employment data management systems for the construction industry and construction-related SaaS. We aim to promote the use of ICT in the industry and contribute to the DX of the construction industry as a whole.
