WesionaryTEAM Achieves DX Certification from Japan's Ministry of Economy

WesionaryTEAM, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has recently been honored with the designation of "DX Certified Enterprise" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan. This recognition is part of Japan's DX certification system, which acknowledges companies for their commitment to digital governance according to the Digital Governance Code defined by METI. This certification reflects a company's ability to illustrate its efforts towards digital transformation (DX) and has been validated through a rigorous examination by the Information Technology Promotion Agency (IPA). The certification is effective for a period of two years.

Understanding the DX Certification

The DX certification system is designed to acknowledge businesses that demonstrate comprehensive compliance with established digital governance standards. For companies like WesionaryTEAM, this certification signifies readiness to leverage digital technologies for effective business transformation. By pursuing such certifications, organizations showcase their commitment to enhancing their operational strategies through advanced technologies.

Background of the Certification

WesionaryTEAM's vision of creating a society where co-creation is commonplace has led to fruitful collaborations with clients, resulting in impactful product development. Receiving this certification underscores our ongoing commitment to our own internal DX initiatives, which aim to improve efficiency and transparency in our operations. Our determination to continue advancing our digital transformation efforts has been an essential factor in achieving this recognition.

Our Mission and Goals

At WesionaryTEAM, our primary focus is to act as a dependable partner in the field of product development, delivering high-quality systems effectively. To achieve this goal, it’s imperative that our internal processes possess consistency, predictability, and scalability while continually evolving. The maturity of these processes is directly linked to the value we provide to our customers.

In the realm of collaborative product development, it’s essential that we move away from haphazard processes that create inconsistency and inefficiency. We have established a six-level maturity model that evaluates our workflows from the "initial state" to a "fully automated state." By documenting, standardizing, and measuring our processes, we aim to minimize manual interventions while improving both efficiency and consistency.

Importance of Internal DX Initiatives

Achieving a mature operational process is critical to delivering exceptional customer experiences. Our evaluation framework consists of six distinct levels that guide us through continuous improvement. By implementing standardized procedures and aiming for automation, we can provide a reliable, high-quality experience for our clients. This approach draws inspiration from standards such as ISO 9001, CMMI, and ITIL, targeting goals such as:

• - Consistency: Ensuring uniform quality and processes across the organization.
• - Efficiency: Streamlining processes to eliminate waste and improve productivity.
• - Predictability: Achieving a stable project execution process.
• - Quality Control: Committing to high-quality deliverables.
• - Knowledge Management: Capturing, preserving, and sharing knowledge as organizational assets.
• - Cost Reduction: Minimizing operational costs by eliminating redundancies.

Value Proposition for Clients

Through our dedication to DX, we are poised to offer our clients significant advantages:
1. Stable High Quality: Consistency achieved through standardized processes.
2. Rapid Response: Faster project completions driven by efficiency.
3. Transparency: Clear processes that make progress and quality visible.
4. Reliability: Support for business planning with predictable results.
5. Cost Performance: Offering services at fair prices due to operational efficiencies.

DX Improvement Across Seven Fields

We have identified seven crucial areas in the collaborative product development process where we focus on enhancing maturity:

• - Challenge Definition and Validation: Understanding customer challenges through user experience research.
• - Development Preparation: Building standardized request documents and creating technology selection frameworks.
• - Project Management: Establishing task management and milestone setting systems for enhanced visibility.
• - System Development: Improving code quality through automation and componentization.
• - Product and System Quality: Guaranteeing quality through quantitative and qualitative evaluations.
• - Product and System Operation: Managing stable operations and defining KPIs for continuous improvement.
• - Organizational System and Operations: Building a structured organization and facilitating education and knowledge sharing.

Case Studies of DX Initiatives

Here are some notable examples of our internal DX endeavors:
1. Figma UI Automatic Translation Plugin: Faced with productivity losses due to manual bilingual updates, we developed a prototype that enables effortless switching between Japanese and English using AI-driven translations.
2. Slack Auto-Translation Plugin: To resolve inefficiencies in manual translations among team members, we created a plugin that automatically translates Slack messages, ensuring consistency and saving time.
3. Task Management and Progress Report Automation: By integrating Google Sheets with GitHub Project, we streamlined task management and reporting, improving task oversight across the team.
4. Standardization of Project Evaluation Processes: We implemented standardized evaluation criteria and AI-assisted decision-making for new project inquiries to enhance consistency.

Future Developments

With this recent DX certification achievement, WesionaryTEAM aims to further enhance our operational efficiency and maturity. We plan to use the insights gained from our internal DX initiatives to support our clients in achieving their digital transformation goals.
