Contract through Hybrid Technologies as your outsourcing vendor
A listed Japanese company on the contract, with the same person running your delivery
- Listing
- Tokyo Stock Exchange, code 4260, listed December 2021
- Delivery centre
- Hybrid Technologies Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City, since 2017
- Certifications
- ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 9001
Right for you if
- Your procurement or legal team requires a corporate contract, not an agreement with individuals
- You need local invoicing and a counterparty that can be held to a contract
- Your security review asks for certified information security management rather than promises
- You want a dedicated team on a six or twelve month commitment rather than project by project
- You need the engagement to survive any single person leaving, including me
Not right for you if
- A small one off job. Corporate contracting has overhead that is not worth paying for a two week task
- You specifically want to contract me personally. That is the first option on the services page, not this one
- You need the absolute lowest rate. A listed company with certified processes costs more than individuals, and that difference is what you are buying
What you get
A counterparty with something to lose
The practical difference between a company and a group of people.
- A listed Japanese entity, with published financial reporting
- Continuity that does not depend on one individual staying
- Contracts, invoicing and dispute resolution through normal corporate channels
Certified process, not asserted process
What a security review actually wants to see.
- ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management
- ISO 9001 for quality management
- Audited processes rather than a promise that we are careful
Two contract shapes
Pick by how stable your scope is.
- Project based, when the scope is defined and you want a fixed delivery
- Lab type, a dedicated team on a six or twelve month commitment, when the scope will keep evolving
A Japan and Vietnam pairing
Japanese side for communication, Vietnamese side for delivery capacity.
- Japanese speaking contact and documentation
- Engineering delivered from the Vietnam centre
How it works
Step 1
Tell me what your procurement requires
This determines almost everything else.
- Corporate contract, invoicing format, security review, data residency
- I will tell you at this point if the vendor route is unnecessary for your case
Step 2
Scoping and estimate
Done with me, not with a sales team.
- Scope, team shape and an estimate you can take to your own approval process
- Choice between project based and lab type, with the trade off explained
Step 3
Contract and security review
The part that takes the longest, so start it early.
- Corporate contract through the company
- Security documentation supplied from the certified management system
Step 4
Delivery
Same project management as the other two options.
- Weekly written status and a fixed planning rhythm
- Test cases agreed before implementation
Questions people ask
Am I contracting with you or with the company?
With the company. I run the project, but the contract, the invoicing and the liability sit with Hybrid Technologies. If you would rather contract me directly, that is the first option on the services page.
Why would I choose this over the freelance team?
For three reasons only: your procurement needs a corporate counterparty, your security review needs certified process, or you need the engagement to survive people leaving. If none of those apply, the team option is faster and cheaper.
What is lab type development?
A dedicated engineering team built to your requirements on a six or twelve month commitment, where the work can be redirected as your priorities change. It suits products that keep evolving rather than a fixed one off build.
Where does the work actually happen?
Engineering is delivered from the Vietnam centre in Ho Chi Minh City. The company is Japanese and Japanese language communication is part of the arrangement.
Have a project that needs a steady hand?
Tell me the deadline, the scope and the constraint you are worried about. I will tell you honestly whether I can help.
