An Overview of IT Needed in the DX Era and Its Systematic Aspects

Abstract

In the DX (Digital Transformation) era, the significance of IT, which underpins the socio-economic activities, will continue to increase. IT must be used as an engine for creating new smart services and businesses, instead of tools for improving business efficiency and reducing costs as in the past. For that purpose, it is necessary to grasp IT as an entire system. This paper describes an overview of IT needed in the DX era from the technical viewpoints of software, which is an indispensable component of IT.
