Risks of Overseas Orders

Risks of Overseas Orders
Nowadays, I'm only going to produce for my existing customers,
Sometimes a new client asks for development.
At that time, there were many orders from overseas that were not completed.
Of course, the development skills of overseas people are not low.
However, there is definitely a barrier.
1. The language barrier
This is what I want to ask you the most.
This is inevitable.

"I got something different than what I asked for."


This is a matter of course because the language is not understood.

Often, it is said that it is okay because there is a Japanese translation in between
This only increases the risk, honestly.
Dear Clients in→ Japan Foreigners who→ actually work
Due to the large number of people entering, the instructions of the person actually working will be more bent and transmitted.
It would be better if we could actually develop it in Japanese.
Even this does not mean that you can understand Japanese perfectly, so your intentions will be bent.
2. Differences in thinking
In ordering overseas, the initial specifications are absolute.
It may be natural to say this, but what was not in the original specification
They often don't work for us.
Japanese engineers, including myself, are often accommodating around here.
Of course, it is a prerequisite to create a specification document, but even if you create a document
Actually touch it and say, "Huh? I don't think it's the same. "
It looks like this area is also causing trouble.
In addition, overseas people rarely act with a sense of responsibility.
It works only with "money".
We will prioritize what will be paid out soon.
Also, systemic things can be different.
It seems that there are many things that should be done that should not be done.
In addition, I hear that they often do not respond to it.
(Example: Confirmation screen when filling out the form, such as an alert message after saving or an inquiry)
I think that if you place orders around here based on understanding and conviction, overseas orders are also good.
It seems difficult in the middle.
