Vietnam Offshore: Japanese & Korean Language Operations at Optimal Cost
Case Study | APAC Offshore × Fortune 500 Clients
Vietnam Excellence: Japanese + Korean Language Operations at Optimal Cost.
Cost savings. Quality maintained. Two global leaders prove Vietnam's offshore capability.
THE CHALLENGE
Premium Language Quality at Offshore Cost—Possible? Japanese and Korean language operations are traditionally run domestically - at high cost. As two Fortune 500 companies sought to optimize their operations without compromising quality, Vietnam emerged as the answer. Native-level language proficiency, proven skill development programs, and a stable talent pool made Vietnam the ideal offshore destination for both clients.
CASE 1: Global Manufacturing Company
40% Cost Reduction. Zero Compromise on Quality.
A global manufacturing company moved Japanese non-voice support operations to Vietnam, achieving significant cost savings while maintaining the high service standards required by their Japanese headquarters.
- Japanese non-voice support — 50+ FTEs
- FAQ template development and knowledge management
- Proprietary Japanese skill development program
- Direct coordination with manufacturer headquarters in Japan
- High-value delivery to end customers
Result:
40% cost reduction vs. domestic Japan operations—quality fully maintained.
CASE 2: Global Entertainment Company
Stable Japan-Korea Offshore Operation. Industry-Leading Quality Scores.
A global entertainment company runs both Japanese and Korean language operations from Vietnam—managed jointly by Japanese and Korean local teams, with certified language proficiency standards across the board.
