Q&a: Shinichi Yamada Authentic Ray Lewis Jersey , Ntt Data
Rightly or wrongly, the outsourcing &nda; in particular offore outsourcing &nda; sector in Japan has tended to be viewed as being markedly less developed than the equivalent sectors in North Arica and Europe. A range of contributing ftors can be considered to be behind this situation &nda; but as the global economy continues to drift through troubled waters even traditionally offore-averse institutions in Japan are having to reassess their perspectives.
SSON spoke recently with Shinichi Yamada, of NTT Data Corp., Japanâs largest software services firm and an organization considered by many as being among the countryâs foremost proponents of offoring. A twenty-year veteran of NTT Data, Yamada is now the panyâs executive vice president and chief technology officer, and played a key role in the quisition of Pune, India-based Vertex Software, a move which NTT Data hopes will both increase its own petitiveness and enhance its credentials as a provider of outsourced services to Japanese as well as to US and European panies.
SSON: NTT Data has a reputation as being an offoring pioneer in Japan. Can you tell us a little about the panyâs offoring strategy and how it has developed in recent years?
Shinichi Yamada: As a asure of our cost reduction Authentic Jonathan Ogden Jersey , we have organized an Offore Developnt Promotion Office since 2003 to encourage pany-wide organizations to promote offoring. Beijing NTT Data (a 100% subsidiary), which was originally a business specializing in the Chinese dostic market, has changed its policy to focus on offore business. In the anti, we have tively invested in Chinese offore panies, and made a plan to promote offoring not only in our pany but also in our business partners. Our offore ordering cost will be more than ¥7 billion ($64.5m) in 2008, and we expect it to reh ¥10 billion ($92.2m) by 2009.
SSON: Your initial forays offore were into China, but recently youâve invested heavily in India, in particular in your subsidiary Vertex. Why is this?
SY: Although our offoring has been growing as planned Authentic Justin Forsett Jersey , the degree of dependence (offoring ratios divided into countries) on China as of 2006 was over 95%. To avoid country risk (i.e. currency, laws, disasters) in China, we researched other offoring destinations, such as India and Vietnam, and determined that Vertex had the ability to take partial charge of Japanese offore, so we invested capital in the pany. With 250 employees, Vertex takes on projects from Japan and USA - 50-50. A developnt team for Japan can make specifications Authentic Justin Tucker Jersey , coding and munications in Japanese through their own special Japanese study system, and holds high-quality technology that has been developed from US business.
SSON: What do you see as the main differences between China and India as locations for doing business?
SY: As pared with China, which is located very close to Japan and has a ti difference of only an hour, the distance to India is a considerable wall for us to work with them. The inconvenience of flying to India (because there are few direct flights from Japan) makes us feel India is very far away. Actually, so project managers in our pany sotis hesitate to send out their orders due to that barrier. Also, a halfway ti difference &nda; 3&fr12; hours - might feel annoying when we set an audio conference with them.
SSON: What are the biggest challenges, and the biggest advantages, for a Japanese pany moving into China? And India?
SY: For China:
Advantages Challenges Because we both use kanji (Chinese charters) Authentic C.J. Mosley Jersey , the design draws in Japanese can often be used without translation.
Chinese and Japanese look alike because we are in the sa ethnic group, but our sense of values seem to be very different. Especially it is quite hard - and takes ti - to make Chinese people understand our obsessiveness with the highest quality in detail.
China is quick and easy to reh from Japan, so we can save ti to solve problems. Because Chinese ernnt has a great power, the ernntâs ifts in policy tend to influence our business easily. The law in China is plicated and difficult to understand, also (there is a gap in prtical use, too).
And for India:
Advantages Challenges India has lots of human resources in technologies, and many of them are good at logical thinking. Since panies in India are mainly focused on business with European and Arican panies, they are not familiar with the style of business in Japan (i.e. Japanese developnt style Authentic Marshal Yanda Jersey , the Japanese language) Process is usually well managed. (i.e. CMMI certification) It is not easy to e and go between Japan and India (because there are few direct flights), so it takes much ti and energy to fix specifications The infrastructure in India hasnât been provided yet, so we need to bear the cost of promoting their infrastructure.
SSON: Where will be the next big offoring destination for NTT?
SY: Vietnam and Brazil would be the next candidates, but eh outsourcer in NTT Data will independently select its offoring destination from now on.
SSON: And for Japan in general?
SY: Considering their understanding of Japan, and the personal expenses, Vietnam would be a good choice. Many Japanese panies have already started to move there, or considered moving.
SSON: NTT is looking, through Vertex Authentic Daryl Smith Jersey , to attrt outsourcing from Europe, North Arica and the Japanese dostic market. Do you think these three regions have very different outsourcing philosophies and, if so, how do you plan to provide suessfully for all three through the sa provider?
SY: In general, North Arica and Europe have similar outsourcing philosophies - except their languages and contrt forms - but these are very different from the Japanese one. In the west, they fix the specifications pletely and tYou have to know that publ.
