[Customer Case] Accelerating Initial Decision-Making for BCP

Realization of 'accurate seismic intensity detection' and rapid initial response through IoT earthquake observation services.

**Overview** ■ Purpose: Accelerating initial response decisions based on "impact on buildings" ■ Related Product: IoT Earthquake Observation Service ■ Scope of Provision: Complete set of equipment, implementation support, service provision **Background and Challenges** NEC Networks & System Integration has been developing a business continuity plan and preparing for earthquake disasters for some time. However, there were challenges in the operational aspects of initial response during actual emergencies. The main issue was the inability to grasp the actual seismic intensity at each company location. Relying solely on news and information from the Meteorological Agency made it difficult to determine the extent of shaking at company sites, making it challenging to apply BCP decision criteria such as "start confirming damage and safety when the seismic intensity reaches a certain level" in practical operations. Therefore, there was a need for a system that could quickly make initial decisions based on accurate seismic intensity information. **Reason for Selection** The IoT Earthquake Observation Service allows for real-time confirmation of seismic intensity at individual locations, enabling rapid initial response based on the decision criteria established in the BCP. Additionally, the standard inclusion of notification and cloud management functions provided a significant advantage, allowing for quick integration into existing BCPs and smooth commencement of operations.
