Figmaの国内拡大戦略：AI搭載プラットフォームとしての訴求強化と価値創造支援の拡大

Tatsuhiro Soga — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

本調査レポートでは、コラボレーティブなデザイン／プロダクト開発プラットフォームを提供するFigma（本社：米国カリフォルニア州）が、AI（Artificial Intelligence）時代に対応した製品ポートフォリオの拡充を進める中、日本市場でどのような拡大戦略を展開しているか、その動向と戦略についての最新状況を考察している。

AIを活用した開発支援ツールや、vibe coding（AIに自然言語で指示しながらコード生成を任せる開発スタイル）の広がりによって、プロトタイピングやアプリケーション開発の初期工程の効率化が進みつつある。一方で、SaaS（Software as a Service）ベンダーにとっては、単なる機能提供に留まらず、顧客接点を通じて蓄積してきたベストプラクティスや業務知見を活用し、顧客の価値創出を支援する取り組みの重要性が高まるとみられる。こうした環境下では、「Figmaのアドバイザリーサービスにおいても、顧客ごとの業務やプロダクト開発プロセス、既存のデザイン資産を踏まえながら、価値創出のポイントを具体的に示すケイパビリティが一段と求められるであろう」と、IDC Japan、Software, Services, and IT Spendingのリサーチアナリストである曽我龍宏は述べている。

The Complexity Theory of IT: Governing Digital Operations at Machine Scale

Shannon Kalvar — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 04:00:00 GMT

As digital systems become central to enterprise operations, traditional coordination models are overwhelmed by escalating complexity. Observability and AIOps enhance visibility and response, but sustainable progress requires leaders to redesign governance, clarify human-machine boundaries, and shift operational focus from restoration to future-oriented decision making. IT's role is evolving from productivity enabler to governance substrate, demanding new strategies for resilience, accountability, and business performance in machine-scale environments.

"When machine-scale complexity outpaces human-scale governance, the future of business resilience depends not just on smarter technology, but on leaders who can redraw the boundaries between human judgment and automated action," said Shannon Kalvar, research director, Enterprise Systems Management, Enterprise Client Platforms, Observability, and AIOps at IDC.
