About the DX Certification program
The DX Certification program is a system, based on the Act on Facilitation of Information Processing, that certifies companies meeting the basic requirements of the "Digital Governance Code" set out by METI. Companies declare the status of their own DX initiatives and are certified after review by the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA).

The program shows that a company is ready to use digital technology to transform its business, and the certification is valid for two years.

Background to the certification
Under our vision of "a society where co-creation is the norm," we have delivered impactful product development through collaboration with our clients.

As a partner that leads our clients' product development to success, we believe that to keep delivering high-quality systems efficiently, our own business processes must be consistent, predictable and scalable, and must keep improving.

This certification reaffirms our ongoing commitment to the digital transformation of our own operations and recognizes that approach. We will continue to pursue DX with transparency.

Our initiatives to digitally transform our own operations
We have divided our product co-creation business into seven key areas and are working to raise the maturity of each. We assess our operations on six maturity levels, from an "initial state" to an "automated state," and keep improving them.

These initiatives draw on the ISO 9001, CMMI and ITIL frameworks.

Raising Operational Maturity in Seven Areas

1. Problem definition and validation
   We identify customer problems and test hypotheses through UX research. We build a shared understanding among stakeholders and clarify the direction of the project.

2. Development preparation
   We create standardized guidelines, select technologies and build design systems, establishing a foundation that lets the development process run smoothly.

3. Project management
   We build systems for task management, milestone setting and progress visualization, creating an environment where the team works toward its goals effectively and in harmony.

4. System development
   We aim to speed up development through better code quality, automation and componentization. We clarify coding rules and review policies to promote collaboration and consistency across teams.

5. Product and system quality
   We combine quantitative metrics and qualitative assessment to evaluate quality from multiple angles. We analyze issues found after launch, implement permanent fixes and work across the organization to prevent recurrence.

6. Product and system operations
   Through managing stable operation, setting KPIs and continuous improvement, we make sure products keep delivering the functions expected of them. Through continuous hypothesis testing and improvement based on data and feedback, we aim to enhance the user experience and product value.

7. Organizational systems and operations
   Through organizational design, role assignment, business process development, education and training, and knowledge sharing, we build systems that let the whole team work together to achieve its goals.

Examples of Our Internal DX

Concrete examples of our DX initiatives
The following are some of the initiatives we have carried out to digitally transform our own operations.

• Developing a Figma plugin for automatic UI translation
  Creating wireframes and product UIs in both Japanese and English was reducing productivity through double maintenance and missed updates. Existing translation plugins did not fully meet our needs, so we developed our own prototype that translates automatically with AI and lets us switch easily between Japanese and English with one click. We are currently using it internally and continuing to improve it, with the aim of releasing it publicly in the future.

• Developing a Slack plugin for automatic translation
  Because each member was translating individually with DeepL or ChatGPT, we faced two problems: the waste of everyone repeating the same work, and being unable to notice discrepancies in translations. We developed a plugin that automatically translates Slack messages and lets everyone see the translations. We also added a feature for easily correcting translations within Slack. This has reduced the effort spent on translation and improved the quality of communication.

• Automating task management and progress reporting
  Task management (creating and updating tasks) took a lot of time, and when other work took priority, it was sometimes put off. Daily, weekly, sprint and project-wide reporting was also a heavy burden. We addressed these problems by automatically linking Google Sheets with GitHub Projects. We have created an environment where everyone involved in a project, including product owners, product managers and engineers, can manage tasks and check progress efficiently.

• Standardizing and streamlining our project screening process
  When we received consultations about new projects, everything was handled manually, which made quick responses difficult and led to inconsistent judgments depending on who was in charge. We built standardized evaluation criteria and rules, along with an AI-assisted screening system. Taking into account past screening history, our tech stack, case studies and policies, we aim for more consistent judgments.
