Net Consultants in Japan

Back to Contents of Issue: February 2001
by Daniel Scuka
Despite the gloom surrounding Net consultants' prospects here, you can't ignore the fact that there's a lot of them -- and the number seems to grow daily. Part of the reason is the huge range of e-business-enabling products and services currently available across all industries -- including wireless. And if the big Net consultancies are having trouble flogging their ubersophisticated e-business strategies to reticent, old-school Japanese managers, the little guys -- who specialize in just one or two facets of Net business, and who can offer well-defined hardware and software solutions to practical Japanese business problems -- appear to be doing well. Web advertising (D2 Communications, Valuecommerce, Value Click), e-marketing (Flying Color, Optomail, MaguMagu), wireless (Gluegent, Westcyber, JPEC, Lope), middleware (BEA Systems Japan, Candle), and ERP (Flexfirm, CVi, Financial Sciences, Magic Japan) have seen a lot of activity.

Now for the list. Did we find all of them? Probably not. But we culled the press releases and watched the Web for some of the brighter lights, and we think we've got a pretty representative sample of software developers, system integrators, application creators, e-business enhancers, and Net accelerators. --Daniel Scuka
