“We are looking forward to working with our customers and partners in Japan, helping boost their team’s alignment, efficiency, and productivity in their business.”
“It’s an exciting time for monday.com as we continue to grow our presence in the Asia Pacific and Japan region with our business launch in Tokyo and Singapore,” says Mr. Dean Swan, monday.com Regional Vice President Asia Pacific & Japan. “We are looking forward to working with our customers and partners in Japan, helping boost their team’s alignment, efficiency, and productivity in their business.”
monday.com recently conducted a survey of over 1,000 Japanese workers in order to better understand the local progress of digital transformation in the area. Approximately 60% of respondents felt that their companies were not making enough effort to improve business efficiencies and embrace the digital transformation that is happening around the world, and that implementing too many types of software caused further inefficiencies. However, 42.9% of respondents articulated that “task management” software has a positive influence on the improvement of business efficiencies, including increased communication amongst teams.
“This data presents an exciting opportunity as the digital transformation continues to spread across the region and low-code/no-code software becomes more integrated in the workplace,” says Mr. Koji Watanabe, monday.com Country Manager for Japan. “Workers are clearly expressing their need for a more efficient and flexible work environment, with solutions that will help them better achieve operational efficiency and improved work-life balance. At monday.com, this is exactly the service we look forward to providing to enterprise companies across Japan and beyond.”
