Next Design is a specialized design tool that allows development teams to tailor the structure and relationships of design information for each process using "metamodels," and express them through diagrams and document definitions ("view definitions") tailored to their specific perspectives and use cases. This allows you to organize and tool up development-specific design methodologies and processes that were previously handled in Word/Excel or UML/SysML, enabling cross-organizational sharing of design data while maintaining traceability. Since its release in 2020, it has been widely adopted across a diverse range of industries, including automotive and electrical equipment.

The latest version, "Next Design v2.0," introduces a proprietary Git merge tool to enable more flexible distributed development. It also allows users in large-scale projects to load only specific data, enabling them to start working seamlessly without stress. Furthermore, it has evolved with numerous feature additions to strongly support large-scale development environments, such as the addition of floating licenses for even greater flexibility in operations.
