Vietnam offshore development has become an increasingly attractive option for Japanese companies in recent years. Beyond cost savings, companies are recognizing Vietnam’s strong technical capabilities and rapid development speed. However, the true key to a successful offshore partnership lies in effective communication.
Why Communication Matters
Differences in culture, language, and work style can significantly affect development progress and quality. Japanese companies often place high importance on detailed specifications and requirements, and it is crucial that Vietnamese engineers accurately understand these expectations to ensure success.
Key Communication Practices for Offshore Success
1. Utilize Japanese-Speaking Bridge Engineers
Assigning Bridge System Engineers (Bridge SEs) who can communicate fluently in Japanese helps eliminate misunderstandings and keeps the team aligned.
At NKKTech Global, we have a dedicated team of Japanese-speaking engineers and project managers who have extensive experience collaborating with Japanese clients, ensuring smooth communication and high client satisfaction.
2. Standardize Documentation and Tools
Having specifications, test cases, and schedules available in both Japanese and English is ideal. Tools like Notion, Redmine, and Backlog help teams maintain transparency and track progress from both ends in real-time.
3. Schedule Regular Meetings and Reporting
Despite time zone differences, holding weekly or bi-weekly meetings enhances mutual understanding and builds trust.
At NKKTech Global, we operate on Japan-friendly working hours and use Slack, Zoom, and Google Meet for consistent, real-time reporting.
4. Embrace a Feedback Loop
Post-delivery reviews and feedback are essential for improving quality in subsequent phases.
Vietnamese engineers are known for their adaptability and are eager to incorporate constructive feedback. At NKKTech Global, we embrace a Kaizen mindset, promoting continuous improvement across projects.
