To succeed in offshore development

For successful of offshore development

1. Training

First of all, training is important. Generally, there are two patterns of making up team member.

・Teams of experienced members those who hit the ground running

This is the most efficient and safety way. We gather only the best members with enough skills and experience to make the best team. It is an ideal method but very difficult in Vietnam to gather such members (though it is more possible than in Japan …). In that case, you must prepare enough cost to match thier level.

・Teams leaded by excellent key persons

Realistically, the most cost-effective way is to make up teams leaded by excellent key persons. It requires strong training from the staff in Japan to the Vietnamese team. While teaching Vietnamese engineers, we will carry out projects on OJT, give experience and train them as a team. Through this process, they will learn software development processes and quality concepts that are suitable for Japan. The careful point is not to push the Japanese way, but to assemble the process with considering the Vietnamese way.

2. Close communication and trusting relationship

The importance of communication is a common issue not only for laboratory-type development, but also for offshore development. However, the communication does not mean business contact like regular meetings or reports, but face-to-face communication through on-site invitations and business trips to Vietnam. Close Communication with Vietnamese members and talking about casual topics other than business has helped to build valuable bond that cannot be build through only business meetings.

3. Keep the motivation up

It is important to retain excellent members constantly and continuously. In Vietnam, the job transfer market is more active than Japan, so they are attracted to the high income. However, that’s not all. To keep their motivation up, it is needed to focus on how meaningful their work is and how important position they can be assigned in the team. Achieving challenging work together and keeping motivation up can help remain members long-term.
