Managed Service Model Successfully Introduced to Japanese Business by Volt Consulting MSP
Global Human Capital Solutions Leader Operational in Japan
New York, NY
May 12, 2009
Volt Consulting MSP expands into the Japanese marketplace, launching Managed Service Programs (MSP) in the cities of Tokyo, Osaka, Sukuoka and Nagoya. This entree into Japan provides Volt Consulting MSP a robust platform of services to offer clients wishing to expand their MSP solutions into Asia.
Volt Consulting MSP’s client—a leading global data warehousing and analytical technologies company with existing operations in the US, UK, Canada, Italy, France, Spain and Czech Republic—looked to Volt Consulting MSP to deploy the MSP model for human capital acquisition and management into the Japanese market. Their objective was to replicate in Japan, the success the client experienced utilizing the Volt Consulting MSP solution in other global markets. The client sought experienced guidance in deploying a competitive-bid sourcing model in a country where such practices had not yet entered the mainstream of business. Additionally, the client company mandated a comprehensive invoicing and time management process be deployed, along with a highly managed process to improved spend controls.
“The MSP for contingent labor was originally a unique American business practice that has subsequently taken root in foreign markets, promoted by multinational organizations” said Volt Consulting MSP President, Larry Kaylor. “We have introduced this practice into numerous countries globally on behalf of many of our clients,” he continued, “consequently; we’re very knowledgeable about how best to lay the groundwork and foundations in advance, to clear cultural and local legislative hurdles.”
According to Volt Consulting MSP Executive Vice President, Janet Whitcomb, “This success has attracted the attention of other existing Volt Consulting MSP clients. One such client, a Fortune 100 telecommunications company, has initiated talks with Volt Consulting MSP to expand their existing global MSP into Japan as well.” Asked why Volt Consulting MSP has been so successful at promoting the MSP model in global markets, Whitcomb replied, “Volt Consulting MSP’s deep base of knowledge in the cultural and legislative parameters in scores of nations continues to support our successful expansion into all global regions and will be supporting our clients in over 18 countries within the next 18 months.”
