The world is growing more and more connected, and technologies and business developed in one country are no longer limited to their country of origin. For many US companies who have successfully launched their business and started to receive market traction in the US, the Pacific Rim is another territory for growth and expansion. Among the Pacific Rim countries, Japan is one of the major markets to enter for her mature economy and high technology industry.

When you consider entering into this market, although technologies and business are universal, people you interact with are not necessarily the kind of people you are used to in the US. For the successful business in Japan, you need to consider many elements, including languages and local customs -- to name a few.

Let's look at those more in detail. Successful entry to the Japanese market requires: 1) understanding of technology , 2) business experiences , 3) communication skills in both English and Japanese, 4) local contacts/networks and 5) experiences in bridging the US and Japan. IP Devices (IPD) can assist you to solve the above and other issues. We understand that there are many consultants and companies who may meet two or three of the five criteria but very few, if any, can provide all the five qualifications. IPD can satisfy all of the five criteria and is looking forward to serving you.
