Needs Well Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Gen Matsuoka) announces the further strengthening of its consulting structure in the IT, AI, and DX domains, focusing on 'human value,' which is becoming increasingly important in the AI era.
1. Background
AI technologies, including Generative AI, have recently begun to rapidly permeate the entire system development process, extending beyond research and analysis to requirements definition, design, development, testing, and operations. While AI automates tasks previously dependent on manual labor, certain areas cannot be realized by AI alone, such as identifying priority issues based on analysis, deciding policies for IT/AI/DX implementation, and designing overall optimization across technology, operations, and organizations. Based on these changes, Needs Well believes that value lies in the 'areas humans should perform' and will build a structure centered on consulting within its service lines—Business System Development, IT Infrastructure, and Solutions—to achieve value co-creation with clients and maximize the added value of engineers.
2. Problem Solving through Partnership-based Consulting
The company will engage in problem-solving through a partnership-based approach, collaborating closely with clients rather than just offering proposals. In addition to optimizing IT environments like systemization and data linkage, it provides one-stop, optimal support from planning to execution and stabilization, covering business analysis, process improvement, AI technology utilization, and automation.
Key Initiatives:
- Partnership-based support from planning to execution, operation, and improvement.
- Building a promotion structure integrated with the client's organization.
- Delivering value directly linked to business results by combining IT, AI, and DX.
Case Studies:
- Software Testing: Collaborating with a financial firm on PoC for standardized quality management processes.
- AI Field: Building an AI chat system using RAG and Generative AI for a manufacturing company to improve technical information utilization.
- AI & Solutions: Implementing an AI solution for a manufacturing company to optimize raw material input and standardize equipment operation, resulting in cost reduction and quality maintenance.
3. Enhancing Engineer Value for the AI Era
As AI becomes widespread, the role of humans is more important than ever. Needs Well is promoting the review and enhancement of its education system to produce engineers who can deliver value in upstream processes, connect technology and business, and maintain market value in the AI age. The focus includes management, communication, proposal-making, and technical skills like cloud and system development through reskilling.
4. Future Outlook
Needs Well will continue to contribute to the sustainable growth of various companies by providing services that fuse the strengths of technology and people.
