本調査レポートは、国内のITサプライヤー（ITベンダー、ソフトウェアベンダー、システムインテグレーター）が、自らのDXの取り組みについて、どのように環境の変化に順応し変革しようとしているのか、について調査し分析したものである。なお、7社のITサプライヤーにおける自社のDXの取り組みについてはプロフィールとして個別に掲載している。
ITサプライヤーは、経営トップのリーダーシップと、現場の社員一人ひとりの「ワガコト化」の推進によって、組織／人事／ITの三位一体の改革を、試行錯誤を重ねトップダウンとボトムアップの組み合せによって進めている。そのITサプライヤーが進める自社のDXの効果に「試行錯誤のプロセス」がある。これは、DXの仮説、検証、仕組み化の実行による成功事例／失敗事例の実体験と、その実体験に基づきDXを前進させるための勘どころの習得のプロセスである。このプロセスは、DXの推進に共通の根幹のプロセスであるため、ITサプライヤー自身の競争優位の確立のみならず、顧客志向を追求する実体験の場にもなる。そのDXを推進する組織文化においては、挑戦することは重要であるものの、品質の低下を許容する文化にしてはならない。つまり、ITサプライヤーは、自社のDXの推進において、挑戦と品質の両方の重要性を追求する組織文化の醸成が必要と考える。
「ITサプライヤーは、自社のDXで模倣困難な付加価値を創発することによって、これまでのITツールの提供からITユーザーにとってのビジネス的価値の提供へとビジネスモデルをシフトすべきである」と、IDC ...
