Companies are now paying attention to DX (Digital Transformation)
What is DX?Digital Transformation.The term "IT" is used to describe the use of IT information technology to transform people's lives for the better.
DX is a business term used by companies responding to changes in the digital society as a radical initiative to transform their business models and operations by operating digital technologies such as AI, IoT, and big data.
To briefly explain this term, it is a concept of "creating new values in existing business processes and business models.
In recent years, the definition of the word DX has"Using the latest digital technology to transform the enterprise for the digital age.It is widely used to mean.
The beginning of DX
In 2004, Professor Eric Strterman of Umeå University in Sweden proposed that "the penetration of IT will change people's lives for the better in every aspect.
The term "DX" became popular in Japan in the late 2010s.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's guidelines define DX as follows
▼ According to the "DX Promotion Guidelines Ver. 1.0 (December, 2008)" published by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (hereafter, METI), DX is defined as follows
The report proposes that "companies must respond to the rapid changes in the business environment and use data and digital technology to transform their products, services, and business models based on the needs of customers and society, as well as to transform their operations themselves, organizations, processes, and corporate culture and climate, in order to establish a competitive advantage.
This is the definition in the "Guidelines for Promoting Digital Transformation (DX Promotion Guidelines)".
In order to achieve DX, we must firstDigitization and Digitization.It is a prerequisite that the progress of the
What is Digitization?
Digitization is the process of improving efficiency by digitizing some of the business processes that we currently perform on a daily basis.
It is described as the use of information technology to improve the efficiency, streamline, and add value to business operations.
It is to make it possible to handle analog things as digital information, for example, to make operations that have been carried out with paper and a stamp go paperless.
What is Digitalization?
It is about creating new business value and customer experience by transforming your business model through the use of digital technology.
Therefore, digitalization mainly refers to "digitization" itself.
The movement of "digitization of business" that a company undertakes can be seen as digitalization, and when there is a movement in which the digitization of business undertaken by a company has an impact on society as a whole, it is defined as DX.
*Generally, digitization is seen as the next phase of digitization
The Relationship Between Digitization and Digitization
Digitization can be broadly classified into two categories: digitization and digitization.
I think these two are easy to understand if you think of DX as a goal and one of the stages leading up to it.
There is a big difference between the two terms - local and global digitization - but the underlying ideas and goals are the same.
The difference between digitization and digitalization is explained in detail in this article.

Cliffs in 2025
The 2025 cliff refers to the economic losses estimated to occur if DX is not realized, not only in 2025 but also beyond.
As existing IT systems used in business become "old, bloated, and complex," it becomes difficult to apply them with a business model that matches the times.
As a result, there are concerns that this will reduce the competitiveness of companies and cause significant economic losses.
Around the year 2025, a number of changes related to IT information systems are expected to occur.
According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), companies are losing out to global digital competition, and warn that the cost of maintaining and managing systems will soar even higher, resulting in huge losses of up to 12 trillion yen every year due to cyber security and losses from accidents and disasters.
DX for tips on how to get over the 2025 cliff.
DX has been advocated as necessary for Japanese companies to overcome the "2025 cliff.
DX is a digital innovation that uses digital technology to transform business processes and business models, and beyond that, to create new business models and growth models.
Benefits of DX for Enterprises
Although there is a growing awareness of the need for DX in Japanese companies today, many companies are still searching for a specific direction on how to transform.
The benefits of implementing DX are not limited to reducing costs and improving productivity in your business.
By transforming the business model itself, companies gain a competitive edge and have a better chance of surviving in business.
Advantage 1: Increased business productivity
By implementing DX, you can improve the productivity of your business, and as a result, you can expect to increase the profitability of your business. According to the law of diminishing returns, doubling the scale of production improves production efficiency and doubles production volume.
Advantage 2: It leads to business that responds to changes in consumer behavior.
In today's world, it is essential to respond to DX in order to develop products that sell.
Big data and communication technologies such as AI and 5G used in DX will have a major impact on consumer behavior. In order to respond to these times and consumer behavior, products that are compatible with DX will naturally be needed in the future.
If you can prepare a new service that meets customer demand, your business could expand quickly.
Another advantage of working with DX is that it enables businesses to respond to changes in consumer behavior.
Merit 3: It leads to the enhancement of BCP (Business Continuity Plan)
Despite the impact of the new coronavirus, there were companies that increased profits by putting their business continuity plans (BCPs) into action, and the Nikkei Shimbun reported that "whether or not a company was working on DX made the difference between success and failure.
For example, furniture seller Nitori and McDonald's Japan are posting their highest profits during the Corona disaster by strengthening their online sales systems.
In addition, Walt Disney Co. and Wal-Mart Inc. are also supplementing their original mainstay customer attraction with online sales and video distribution businesses.
It is important to work on DX as soon as possible in order to stand out from rival companies in the event of a disaster that will require a BCP in the future.
