    "The average growth rate for software development
in Japan over the past few years has been 45 percent,"
said Li Chen, Achievo Japan's general manager.
"Previously, most of our Japan business originated
from Tokyo. During the last two years, we have experienced
a rapid increase in the software development and IT
services business related to automobile and electrical
machinery manufacturing in Nagoya. Achievo established this
new facility to respond to the increasing demand coming from
this region."

    "Achievo's local front-end approach has the
advantage of allowing business to be conducted in the
clients' language," said James Li, general manager of
the Achievo Japan Business Group. "Establishing a
sales and software development center in Nagoya helps us to
sharpen our focus on customer service and support, and
offers unparalleled project quality. Additionally, we are
observing a trend toward more and more Japanese companies
taking advantage of offshoring to the China back-end. In
April, we announced the expansion of our facilities in
Shanghai to accommodate our rapidly expanding Japanese
offshoring business." 

    Achievo has established itself as a leading provider of
quality and affordable solutions to the electronics,
technology, manufacturing, financial services, automotive
and telecommunications industries in Japan. The Nagoya
facility works on software development projects from
clients based in the area, and offers offshore development
through Achievo China. 

    Nagoya is the fourth largest city in Japan and is one
of Japan's major ports. Nagoya is located in the center of
the Chukyo region, Japan's third largest metropolitan area.
