- Why is offshore IT outsourcing with Japanese clients so difficult?
There are several reasons why it is so difficult for Asian outsourcing providers to develop Japanese market. We divided the reasons into mainly three elements
1) Language barriers
2) Cultural differences
3) Lack of quality conscious
Those three are the keys to enhance enterprise value for almost all of Japanese clients who are facing critical, quality-sensitive issues.
