Background
Business uncertainty is increasing not only in Japan, but overseas as well, amid diverse social and economic changes including technological advances, geopolitical risks and climate change. Circumstances like these expose companies to more difficult challenges than ever before, in addition to those they already face. For example, overseas business development requires flexible management decisions immediately responsive to change, as well as the acquisition and redeployment of human resources and the restructuring of global supply chains.
Overview of the new structure
In order to resolve these issues and support companies that aim for global growth, we have established the following structure based on the deep knowledge of BearingPoint, which has been providing consulting services in Europe focused on management and technology, and the strengths and capabilities of ABeam Consulting, a consulting company originating in Asia and Japan with a proven track record in management reform and digital technology transformation in Asia.
- In addition to the focus of our existing alliances on Europe and Asia, we will strengthen our technology consulting capabilities in the Americas, where further transformation and continued business growth are expected. We will expand our system for providing more close-in support for corporate transformation needs, which will enable us to provide meticulous consulting services that consider the business environments, management agendas and business practices specific to each country in every region.
- Regional Capability Centers located in each region provide the capabilities, human resources, and technologies necessary for transformation, while supporting customers with a structure that maximizes value propositions such as quality and cost effectiveness.
- We have already launched services for the financial and manufacturing industries as part of our consulting services that leverage India’s rapidly growing human resources, expertise, and digital technology capabilities. This is accomplished through our global Capability Centers established in collaboration with Optimum Solutions, a company with approximately 4,000 employees that has been providing technology services in India for many years and is also an investee of ABeam Consulting.
ABeam Consulting and BearingPoint aim to continue providing consulting services with a truly seamless structure so that we can address global business issues and transformations that require adaptation to environments different from those in clients’ home countries. We will help companies grow globally and create new value by combining the expertise and capabilities that both of our companies bring to bear in diverse fields.
Comment from Matthias Loebich, Managing Partner, BearingPoint
A true global partnership
Since 2011, BearingPoint and ABeam Consulting have been united in a trusted, global long-term strategic alliance. This strategic alliance has enabled both firms to extend our capabilities and client offerings in Europe and Asia. We treat each other as preferred partners in our respective markets, cooperating on both pre-sales and project delivery activities. By leveraging our unique infrastructures and resources, together we provide business consulting services to existing and new clients globally.
Over the last years, we not only successfully won and supported numerous global transformation projects in our existing customer base, we also won and supported new customers for both firms. Among these were several global transformation projects mainly for production companies.
Our partnership is fundamentally different from other alliances and firms: it is not opportunistic and transactional, but deeply rooted in mutual trust and respect, shared values, and a long-term commitment to co-creation and impact.
There is more to come. And I am looking forward to taking further impactful steps with ABeam Consulting as we move ahead together.
Comment from Takahiro Yamada, President and CEO, ABeam Consulting
As a consulting firm originating in Asia and Japan, we have provided a wide range of consulting services to diverse companies and organizations mainly in Japan and Asia, from the formulation of transformation plans to their realization using digital technology. Our professionals have diverse expertise and a deep understanding of local business practices and cultures in various regions and are committed to helping clients sustain change.
Uncertainty in the business environment is increasing amid the social issues and economic changes that come with Japan’s declining birthrate and aging population, as well as geopolitical risks and environmental issues affecting the global economy. Amid such enormous changes in the business environment, we and BearingPoint share a mutual understanding of the importance of sharing the experiences of success gained through our many years of collaboration and improving our value proposition to customers.
Through the reinforcement of our collaboration with BearingPoint, with whom we have built a unique relationship of trust, and through establishing a new organizational structure, we will provide our clients all over the world with truly seamless, consistent consulting services with high added value. We will continue to contribute even more as a Real Partner that creates economic and social value through customer transformation.
