Press release

Dirbato Co., Ltd. (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Yasuhide Kanayama; hereinafter “Dirbato”) and FPT Japan Holdings Co., Ltd. (head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Nguyen Viet Vuong; hereinafter “FPT Japan”) have entered into a business alliance focused on DX (digital transformation), system development, and outsourcing services.

By combining Dirbato’s established strength in IT consulting with FPT’s world-class DX methodologies and software, we will deliver faster, higher-value DX services.

This collaboration will enable us to offer competitively priced services not only in Japan but also to customers across Southeast Asia.

FPT Japan will, in turn, leverage Dirbato’s technical consulting capabilities to provide more advanced, higher-value digital transformation services to customers in Japan and Southeast Asia. Both companies aim to realize joint project collaboration that utilizes the combined skills and resources of each organization.

Frank Bignone, Chief Digital & Technology Officer at FPT Japan, commented: “Through this partnership, FPT Software will further expand and enhance our support for customers seeking differentiating digital solutions. Working with Dirbato, we will help companies in Japan and Southeast Asia solve their most challenging business problems. With FPT Software’s excellent delivery capability combined with Dirbato’s consultants’ strengths in legacy migration, cloud and data transformation, design thinking, business process, and customer engagement transformation, we believe we can provide competitive solutions to address customers’ day-to-day critical issues.”

Nobu Aoki, Dirbato’s partner, commented: “We are very pleased to collaborate with FPT, Vietnam’s largest IT company. By combining Dirbato’s IT consulting capabilities with FPT’s world-class DX methodologies, software, and Vietnam-based delivery centers for system development and outsourcing, we aim to realize ‘Collaborative Innovation.’ Vietnam is known for its friendly ties with Japan and its delivery centers are highly cost-competitive compared with centers in other countries such as China and India. Through this collaboration with FPT, Dirbato will continue to deliver on our mission, ‘Bringing joy to the world through technology,’ to customers in Japan and throughout Southeast Asia.”
