2026年国内ビジネスコンサルティング事業者の動向： AIとエージェントがもたらす変化

Takuya Uemura — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本調査レポートは、国内ビジネスコンサルティング市場における主要事業者のビジネス動向を定性的に分析した結果をまとめたものである。また、同市場における主要事業者の提供体制／オファリング、ビジネス概況、成長戦略をプロフィールとして掲載している。

国内市場の主要なビジネスコンサルティング事業者は、出自の違いを超えて、AI（Artificial Intelligence）を前提とした顧客の全社変革や産業変革の支援へと収斂しつつある。同時に、人員拡大に依存した成長モデルからの脱却に向け、コンサルティングデリバリーへのAI活用と人月型課金からの脱却を模索しているが、その変革は依然として途上にある。「出自の異なるプレイヤーが同じ方向へ収斂する中で、AIネイティブなコンサルティング組織への変革を掲げること自体は共通の前提である。個人が生み出した成果を事業者全体のアセットへと還元し、プラットフォームとして収益化する循環を、より早期に組織的なオペレーションとして定着させる、実装の速度と深さが、今後の主要ビジネスコンサルティング事業者の競争力を決定づけるであろう」と、IDC Japan、AI and Automationのシニアリサーチマネージャーである植村卓弥は述べている。

IDC Market Glance: IT Skills for Digital Business, 2Q26

Gina Smith, PhD, Leonardo Freitas — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Glance explores the changing landscape of IT skills for digital business, focusing on the technologies, platforms, and providers that help organizations build workforce readiness. It highlights key players and maps the market across skills development, domain-specific training, and skills assessment and accelerators.

Today's IT skills ecosystems, once defined by periodic certification and standardized training, are increasingly shaped by GenAI, cloud modernization, cybersecurity demands, and faster software release cycles. As enterprise technology development continues to accelerate, organizations need workers who can continuously apply new capabilities in real time.

As AI begins to fundamentally change workflows, basic technical training is no longer enough. End users need adaptive learning, hands-on practice, assessment, and human skills to work effectively with new technologies and manage growing complexity. To compete, organizations must align workforce development with business priorities. They must invest in continuous upskilling and build scalable skills strategies that evolve as quickly as the technologies they support.

IDC Survey: Trust as Architecture: The Sovereign AI Partner Imperative Across Asia/Pacific and Southeast Asia

Deepika Giri, Shashank Nigam, Daeil Chun — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey presents insights from an online survey conducted in December 2025 with 540 senior IT decision-makers and business leaders from organizations with 500 or more employees across Asia/Pacific and Southeast Asia.

The research highlights that digitally mature Asia/Pacific markets are advancing sovereign AI deployments in response to governance pressures, while much of Southeast Asia is still assessing business value and building delivery capabilities. Across both regions, evaluation priorities have shifted: security architecture, data residency, responsible AI, and open-standards interoperability now outweigh model performance in decision-making.

Solution consideration patterns reflect distinct ecosystem dynamics, with some markets emphasizing scalability and orchestration, and others focusing on integrated governance and localized operations.

The document concludes that success in sovereign AI hinges not just on technology, but on robust partner ecosystems capable of operationalizing governance intent through clear shared-responsibility models spanning cloud, platform, and services.

The State of WebAssembly, 2Q26

Matthew Flug — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Market Presentation examines the state of WebAssembly (Wasm) as it expands beyond the browser into server-side, edge, and on-device deployments in 2Q26. Drawing on IDC survey data, the presentation assesses how organizations are positioning Wasm alongside containers (where adoption is concentrating across security, AI, and scalability use cases) and which tooling and standardization gaps continue to bound workloads that Wasm can address. The presentation also evaluates how Wasm supports emerging AI agent workloads through sandboxed, deny-by-default execution and capability-based access, and the path toward Wasm operating as embedded infrastructure within edge networks, cloud function services, and plug-in hosts.

"WebAssembly is moving from a browser technology toward an invisible infrastructure embedded beneath the platforms developers already use. Server-side adoption is expanding as a complement to containers rather than a replacement, with buyers focusing on security isolation, edge inference, and sandboxed AI agent execution. Wasm's progress toward increased adoption still depends on continued WASI maturation and wider language and tooling support," said Matthew Flug, research manager, Intelligent Application Modernization and Deployment Platforms at IDC

2026年国内ITインフラ運用動向調査

Yukihisa Hode — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本調査レポートは、2026年2月に実施した「Japan Digital and AI Infrastructure Strategies and Investment Survey 2026」のユーザー調査データを基に、国内企業のITインフラ運用動向を分析したものである。

本調査の目的は、国内企業のITインフラ運用の実態と課題を把握し、運用形態の変化や自動化・高度化への取り組み状況を分析することである。具体的には、専有型ITインフラの採用方針と運用形態がどのように変化しているか、ITインフラ運用における課題や外部委託の利用意向はどの程度か、ITインフラ運用の自動化やエージェンティックAI（Artificial Intelligence）活用への関心や障壁・影響は何か、そして産業分野や従業員規模によってITインフラ運用動向にどのような違いがあるかに焦点を合わせて分析する。

IDC Japan、Infrastructure, Imaging and Devicesのリサーチマネージャーである宝出幸久は、「データセキュリティや可用性・信頼性への要求を背景にプライベートクラウドを含む専有型ITインフラを優先して採用する方針が主流を占める。同時に、人材不足と運用の複雑化を背景に外部委託の拡大が加速しており、運用の属人化の解消と自動化の展開が急務となっている。ITインフラ運用自動化の取り組みが組織的展開へと移行する中、人材育成、基盤整備、ガバナンス設計を一体で進めることがエージェンティックAIの活用を含めた運用高度化の鍵となる」と分析している。

Elevating Technology Team Performance: Actionable Models for Upskilling and Leadership

Niel Nickolaisen — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Perspective describes specific models and tools that leaders can use for the internal upskilling and talent development of the current members of a technology organization. IDC data indicates that upskilling and developing the technology team are consistent priorities for technology leaders. Team development is built around individual development plans that align the talent and interests of technology team members with the evolving needs of the organization in an intentional and consistent way.

“Developing the skills and capabilities of the technology team is one of the most important roles of technology leaders,” says Niel Nickolaisen, adjunct research advisor for IDC’s IT Executive Programs (IEP). “Team development creates a win-win-win. The members of the team win by improving their skills and careers. The organization wins by having a more skilled and capable technology department. The technology leader wins by shifting focus from operations and tactics to the strategic technology future of the organization.”

Equinix Launches Sixth Datacenter in Hong Kong: AI-Ready HK6 and AI Discovery Hub to Anchor Enterprise AI

Mikhail Jaura — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

On June 16, 2026, Equinix launched its AI-ready HK6 datacenter in Hong Kong, which delivers direct-to-chip liquid cooling for GPU densities well beyond what air-cooled facilities support. This latest datacenter complements the AI Discovery Hub, which Equinix launched in early 2Q26: an open, NVIDIA-powered testing environment built with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) that pairs an AI factory at-scale solution with embedded governance guardrails inside HK6. The HK6 launch and the AI Discovery Hub show Equinix shifting colocation from raw space and power toward a curated, governance-first foundation for enterprise and sovereign AI across the Greater Bay Area, and buyers should now treat AI readiness, meaning liquid cooling, interconnection density, and built-in policy controls, as a procurement requirement rather than a road map item.
