The importance of front-end development in web system construction is increasing
AsiaQuest (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), which supports the digital transformation of companies by utilizing digital technologies such as IoT and AI, has become a microCMS partner under the microCMS Partner Program system of microCMS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter “microCMS”).
■ Background to the partnership
These days, web systems are required to meet a variety of requirements, such as security, accessibility, performance, and scalability.
AsiaQuest, in supporting its customers' DX initiatives, proposes and implements the combination of modern front-end technologies such as headless CMS* and Jamstack* in the construction of web systems that use CMS (Content Management System) as one of the options to meet these latest needs.
Building a system that uses a headless CMS and front-end development technology allows you to separate the front and back-end parts of the system, which can enhance security and enable faster screen display and operation than with conventional CMS. It also allows you to flexibly scale up your system. Furthermore, even if you lack back-end engineering resources, you can still smoothly carry out projects centered around front-end engineers and designers, which will contribute to improving development efficiency.
microCMS, which has recently signed a partner agreement with our company, is a Japanese-made cloud-based service that boasts a proven track record of numerous installations, and is a solution that excels in terms of reliability, scalability and usability, even among the “headless CMS” platform.
At AsiaQuest, we have experienced the ease of use and flexibility of microCMS through actual projects that have used it, and we recognize the value of proposing it as a solution that is suitable for more customers, so we have decided to participate in this partner program.

■ Future Developments
This partnership will enable us to make detailed and accurate system construction proposals that make use of the latest technical information and support. It will also allow us to put in place a system that can respond to projects that require more complex design and implementation.By providing a diverse range of CMS options, AsiaQuest will be able to optimize its services to meet customer needs and build flexible web systems that meet front-end and back-end requirements.
We will continue to strengthen our systems so that we can propose and implement high-quality solutions quickly in the future.
*Jamstack is a web architecture that combines JavaScript, APIs, and markup to deliver static sites quickly and securely, providing flexibility and scalability. It is mainly suitable for blogs and marketing sites.
Unlike conventional CMS, “headless CMS” is a content management system with a separate front-end and back-end development. It provides content via API, and can be flexibly displayed on websites and applications, so it is compatible with a wide range of devices and platforms.
