Why Asia?
| | The high-tech industry in Asia
is fast, agile and cost effective. With our help, these
factors can work to your advantage, without compromising
your strengths like European thoroughness and quality.
Whether you plan to manufacture in Asia or serve customers
there, Germasia will be an essential partner for you.
|
|
Why external project management?
| |
Successful projects require tracking
of complex activities, decisive leadership and good
communication. Particularly in Asia, it is therefore
important to have knowledgeable people on hand. Small
and medium-sized companies often rely on external
partners to achieve this.
It's an important part of project
management to foresee and prevent problems. Our expertise
enables us to recognise potential issues before they arise.
This saves cost and reduce unnecessary trips of your
in-house specialists.
Many problems of international projects
could be prevented by careful communication and understanding.
Our project leaders are fluent in English and an Asian
language, often complemented by other languages and/or German.
They are on-site daily to ensure no delay caused by
communication breakdown. We use technology to bridge distances
between you and the project locations.
Most projects are multi-disciplinary and
cross-functional. It is next to impossible to find a project
leader with the precise skills match. As a customer of
Germasia you gain access to our talent pool. Our consultants
have experience in various technologies, are competent in
intercultural issues and able to communicate well. They are
open for long-term contract-based work, so you need to
provide fewer of your own valuable personnel - a great
advantage in cyclical markets!
|
|
Does engaging Germasia cause additional costs?
| | On the surface: Yes.
We usually charge on a time-and-material basis (other models
are possible). We cost less than sending one of your own
specialists as expatriate, but more than local personnel you
could hire.
Many companies prefer to work with partners like Germasia as
long as they are not established in Asia and don't have
sufficient knowledge and understanding of local sensitivities
and business culture. This is faster and cheaper than
re-inventing the wheel for each country you deal in.
|
|
Is our intellectual property safe with Germasia?
| | Please rest assured that we take
your concerns about loss or leaks of process, product and
strategic knowledge very serious. We sign a Non-Disclosure-Agreement(NDA) with every customer before
exchanging confidential data.
