Supporting customers’ DX promotion and three co-creation approaches that generate new value

Leveraging DX to surmount the “2025 Cliff”*1 in which the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has sounded an alarm is now a major issue for each company. SCSK contributes improving customers’ corporate value by modernizing*2 existing legacy system (SoR environment*3), by introducing an advanced SoE*4 environment, and by creating new value through co-creating IT systems. To support customers’ DX promotion, first, SCSK helps customers building their foundations of IT environments (IT systems, data, process, personnel and organizations) through total optimization of the environments. Next, SCSK provides support services ranging from the formulation of DX strategies using their DX promotion program (DX Framework) to the implementation of these strategies deploying cutting-edge technologies (AI, IoT, etc.). In addition, SCSK develops businesses and services that offer society new value through 3 types of co-creation; which are co-creation with customers, cross-industrial co-creation in strategic business areas and global co-creation with Sumitomo Corporation and others.
