Flags Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masaki Hayashibe), which develops "Flagxs," a DX portfolio management execution platform that supports project/business productivity improvement, has launched the "Flagxs DX Portfolio Management Service." This service is designed for companies with CIOs, DX promotion departments, and cross-functional PMOs, offering integrated management of multiple DX initiatives and projects to support advanced management judgment and improved execution capabilities.
This service provides the "Flagxs" DX portfolio management execution platform and PMO consulting as an integrated offering. By centralizing the management of progress, risks, and resources for each project and combining it with AI analysis, it integrates dispersed DX investments into a portfolio. This supports prioritization, decision-making, and management judgment on questions such as "which projects to continue or stop" and "how to explain return on investment (ROI)."
■ Background of Service Provision: DX Investments Progress, but "Inability to Evaluate/Judge" Remains a Challenge
Many companies are steadily advancing their DX initiatives. According to the "IPA DX Trends 2025" report by the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA), approximately 77.8% of Japanese companies are engaged in some form of DX, indicating growing penetration.
However, challenges remain in achieving results. Only less than 60% of companies reported achieving results from DX, with a certain number of companies either not achieving results or being unable to grasp them.
Furthermore, only 27.4% of companies in Japan have set metrics to measure DX outcomes, meaning approximately 70% of companies are unable to properly evaluate their results (※).
Thus, despite the progress in DX investments, a state of "inability to measure results = inability to explain ROI" is widespread, leading to the following problems:
* Unable to decide which projects to continue or stop
* Unable to explain return on investment (ROI)
* Lack of cross-sectional visibility into progress, risks, and resources
* PMO limited to reporting tasks, unable to contribute to decision-making
In other words, even before the success or failure of DX investments, the "state of inability to evaluate and judge" itself is the biggest challenge.
Against this background, the "DX Portfolio Management Service" was launched with the aim of building a "state where management decisions can be made" by integrally managing not individual projects but the entire DX investment as a "portfolio."
This enables appropriate "evaluation and judgment" of company-wide DX investments by seamlessly connecting management decisions and on-site control, thereby achieving results.
