ROUTE06 has entered into a partnership agreement with RIGRIT PARTNERS. The companies aim to advance enterprise AX by combining AI requirements definition through “Acsim” with an on-site engineering organization.
ROUTE06, which provides the AI requirements-definition platform “Acsim” and supports customers from strategy development through on-site implementation, and RIGRIT PARTNERS, which has an engineering organization of approximately 50 people, have entered into a partnership agreement. The companies will combine Acsim with RIGRIT PARTNERS' strategic consulting capabilities to build an AX structure that addresses Japanese companies' needs for stronger governance and large-scale system development.
Acsim is presented as a generative-AI platform that aims to automate and structure upstream processes by cross-referencing materials including Office files, PDFs, meeting minutes and source code and automatically generating initial drafts of requirements-definition documents, design documents and test cases. RIGRIT PARTNERS provides on-site support and adoption assistance using FDEs (Forward Deployed Engineers), promoting the adoption of AI-driven development in the field.
Under the agreement, ROUTE06 will support the partnership structure through the provision of Acsim and technical support, while RIGRIT PARTNERS will provide AX consulting and engineering services. The companies identify three main initiatives: upgrading upstream processes, advancing large-scale enterprise development, and providing on-site support and adoption assistance.
The initiative is positioned as an effort to modernize black-boxed legacy systems by standardizing requirements definition and specification organization, and to establish AI-enabled development processes within organizations.
