Sansan, Inc., a Japanese provider of cloud-based solutions that promote digital transformation (DX), announced the establishment of its new cutting-edge Sansan Global Development Center in Cebu, Philippines.
In a statement, Sansan said the Center will strengthen the development of its product functions for global markets by establishing a global-standard technology development environment.
Fujikura Shigemoto, Executive Officer, Head of Overseas Establishment Team of Sansan, Inc., said the center is scheduled to open its doors in early 2023.
“We decided to establish Sansan Global Development Center, Inc. in Cebu to strengthen our product development for overseas markets. The Philippines is actively attracting and supporting global IT companies, and Cebu is known for its high-level IT education and large pool of talented engineers. The Center’s opening will let us strengthen regional recruitment of engineers and improve our development environment overseas,” he said.
Sansan aims to accelerate its overseas product expansion, including its namesake sales DX solution Sansan and online invoice receiving solution Bill One, with a focus on Southeast Asia. Through its overseas subsidiary Sansan Global Pte. Ltd. (“Sansan Global”), the company has been rapidly expanding availability of the Sansan and Bill One solutions in countries including Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia.
To accelerate its global ambitions, Sansan cited the need to increasingly respond to the needs of local customers in each country. This will require greater investments into multi-language support teams and development of unique functions in line with each country’s laws and regulations, systems, business customs, and workflows.
Under its mission of “turning encounters into innovation” and vision to “become business infrastructure” for companies around the world, Sansan will continue developing world-class products in both its home market of Japan and internationally.
