(3)Software packages for each industry (Software packages for finance, medical services, production, transportation) “Software packages for each industry” are software packages that are specific to a type of industry, such as financial or medical institutions, or production or transportation industries. For example, there are many tasks at medical institutions that cannot be handled by software packages for each job role, such as management of medical facilities/equipment, differences in costs according to treatment methods, and management of National Health Insurance points. Software packages for each industry are formed so that they can be used in their respective industries to enable tasks corresponding to that particular industry to be performed. 3 Systems in other fields Apart from business fields, a variety of systems are used in our daily lives. Some typical systems are as follows. (1)Basic Resident Register Network System The “Basic Resident Register Network System” is a system that links administrative bodies of the national government and local authorities nationwide via a network and allows the “Basic Resident Register,” which contains information on residents such as full name, date of birth, gender, address, and resident card code to be shared throughout Japan. Also referred to as the “Juki Net.” By making it possible to confirm the identities of residents nationwide, this system allows copies of resident cards to be made anywhere in Japan, and makes it unnecessary for residents to submit copies of their resident card when making applications or notifications to an administrative body. This means that work related to notifications can be made more efficient, and the amount of time and effort spent can be reduced.
