BlockTalkのSalesforceのFDEの話はここ最近で聞いたFDEの話の中で一番興味深かった。日本でFDEが語られるとき、結局は優秀なエンジニアが客先に張り付くモデルでしょという反応が多い。でも実態は違っていて、彼らは1顧客に対してFDEを2〜3人のPod単位でアサインしていて、ユースケースが変わればPodごと流動的に入れ替わる。人ではなくFDEというシステムが顧客に向き合う設計になっている。人材構成はエンジニアよりコンサル出身が多いらしい。元はテクニカルアーキテクトのチームがFDEに看板を掛け替えた格好で、コーディング能力そのものより、顧客ハンドリング〜要件定義〜プロダクショングレードの実装までを一気通貫で回せることが効いてくる。アサインの条件は営業と顧客が握り、卒業基準はドキュメント化され、終わればCS・プロフェッショナルサービスへハンドオフされて次の顧客へ移っていく。 これは大きなプロダクトと専任の開発組織を背後に持っているからできる。同じFDEでも、ゼロからプロダクトを作りながら全部やるアーリースタートアップとは動きが違う。スタートアップのFDEはメンテナンスもユーザー対応もプロダクト判断も抱える感じになる部分があるが、Salesforceの場合は長期メンテナンスは顧客自身が自走できる基盤を作って手放し、KPIが担保できたら成果を渡して次へ移る。フィードバックも、軽いものはSlackでPMに流す一方、大きな案件ではTPMのようなオペレーション人材が要望を集約して構造的にプロダクトへ還す。FDEが声を上げて機能要求をねじ込むという動きにはならない。 FDEとSIerの本当の差分はプロダクト会社の中にいるかどうかにつきる。ロードマップやエンジニアに即アクセスでき、エグゼクティブと一緒に高速でエスカレーションできる。属人化を構造で防ぎつつ、意思決定の距離を縮め、しかも作り込みは専任組織に逃がせる。この分業の妙が本質なのかもしれない。

Announcement: We want to thank Rocco for the work he’s done for BlockTalk and wish him all the best in his future endeavors. He’s going to host his own Spaces and build his own brand. We’ll support him wherever we can, and it would be awesome if you could give him a follow.

If you zoom out from the noise this week, a more structural shift comes into focus: Crypto is entering a phase where infrastructure meets regulation head-on. Here’s what we tracked on BlockTalk AI this week: ➤ Payments are evolving fast: @Stripe's deeper Blockchain push and @tulupay's new system highlight how traditional and next-gen rails are beginning to converge. ➤ Geography is strategy: @Bybit_Official's Malaysia play and @Tether’s role in UAE tokenization show how firms are aligning growth with regulatory-friendly markets. ➤ Innovation vs. risk remains a tightrope: The @KelpDAO exploit raises fresh concerns, even as Japan advances a Blockchain-based government bond trial. ➤ Derivatives are the next frontier: U.S. exchanges are positioning for perpetual futures amid shifting regulatory guardrails. ➤ Regulators are no longer passive: From @BIS_org flagging systemic risks to Japan’s stablecoin pilots and New York’s legal push, oversight is accelerating globally. The headlines point to a shift in where the advantage lies—moving away from speculation, and toward those building compliant systems, stronger infrastructure, and smart regulatory strategies.
