The Client
Headquartered in Tokyo,
Japan, our client is a
leading global electronics
company. The company offers
a wide range of systems,
products and services in
areas like information
systems, electronic devices,
power and industrial
systems, consumer products,
materials and financial
services. Its software
division develops advanced
technology and products
ranging from open middleware
products and enterprise
server software, to embedded
software and storage
software.
The Challenge
Our client's software
division was searching for
an outsourcing partner with
a view to:
- Reduce overall
product development
costs
- Improve internal
efficiency of operations
- Gain access to a
pool of talented
resources
We started our
association with them in
1996-97 with the outsourcing
of a few testing and porting
projects. Our challenge was
to:
- Demonstrate strong
management commitment to
a reliable and long-term
offshore partnership
- Show the benefits of
a world class, scalable
technical resource pool
- Demonstrate ability
to bridge the language
barrier and facilitate
smooth communication
The solution
We have established a
dedicated offshore
development center for
our client and our
relationship is now more
than a decade old.
Starting with porting
and testing, our teams
are now involved in the
delivery of large-scale
projects.
