Program

Collapse of "Ordering Common Sense" and New Evaluation Criteria for DX/AX Investment

With the introduction of AI, implementation man-hours have drastically decreased to one-tenth of the previous level (our company's measured value), while the proportion of requirements definition and design has reversed from 30% to 80%. As a result, the era where "man-months, man-hours, and market prices" were the basis for ordering is coming to an end. In a time when the "contents" of estimates vary greatly between vendors, we will present the "new selection criteria" that CEOs and DX managers should possess.

Are you experiencing these challenges?

Unsure how to decide on a vendor

Want to outsource system development but don't know where to start

Asked to promote DX within the company but don't know how to proceed

Want to promote DX but have concerns about who to consult

Have a苦手意識 (difficulty/discomfort) with IT and AI utilization

Yuki Ota from the CTO Office at Spice Factory, which practices AI-driven development in-house, will explain new evaluation criteria for avoiding failure in system investment. We will provide practical know-how for identifying the "right investment targets" in the AI era, going beyond simple price comparisons.
