More than 60% of domestic companies are facing "legacy systems." These aging systems, which hinder digital transformation (DX), are transforming into a serious management issue directly linked to the risk of violating the "Revised Logistics Efficiency Act," which was fully enforced in April 2026, known as the "2025 cliff." This article thoroughly explains the substantial risks associated with continuing to operate outdated paper and Excel management systems and old on-premise systems, such as "administrative penalties" and "serious loss of delivery capability." Furthermore, we will smartly overcome the two major barriers to renewal: "IT talent shortage" and "enormous renovation costs," through high-quality, low-cost offshore development in Vietnam provided by VNEXT (costs around one-third of the average, with team formation in as little as one week). We will propose a realistic DX roadmap to gradually achieve the cloudification of warehouse management systems (WMS) and dispatch and operation systems. *For more details, you can view the related links.

Japan's digital transformation (DX) is showing rapid acceleration, while facing structural challenges that fundamentally shake the sustainable growth of companies. The most significant factor is the chronic shortage of skilled system engineers and development resources. As the demand for the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), migration to cloud computing, and advanced custom application development expands across all industries, it is becoming increasingly impossible to rely solely on the domestic talent market to build and expand engineering teams. This report meticulously analyzes the underlying factors contributing to the anticipated IT talent shortage by 2030 and discusses the physical limitations of traditional hiring and training strategies. Furthermore, even under the constraints of the domestic labor market, we present the effectiveness of utilizing structural external resources through an offshore dedicated team model (lab-type development) as a third option to maximize corporate development capabilities and promote system migration and DX without delay. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

For many years, companies have viewed "Vietnam offshore development" as a means to reduce software development costs. Amid the continued rise in labor costs for highly skilled IT engineers in Japan, there was indeed a time when the primary objective of adopting offshore development was to outsource operations to Southeast Asia, significantly cutting initial costs and operational expenses. However, as of 2026, Vietnam offshore development has undergone a significant transformation from merely securing "cheap labor (cost-cutting)" to becoming a "strategic DX partnership with advanced technical capabilities and agility." As the pace of technological innovation accelerates and system modernization and AI utilization become urgent priorities for companies following the "2025 cliff," this article will thoroughly explain the trends in Vietnam offshore development, the criteria for truly successful selection, a recommended list of 10 development companies, and key points. *For more detailed content of the blog, you can view it through the related links.
