Idenbrid Inc.

Idenbrid, an IT contract developer, runs teams in Japan and Pakistan. The Japanese team takes on large-scale development work, while the Pakistani team focuses on laboratory-type development, where new approaches are built and tested before they are used in bigger projects. The company says a Japanese-led team set up its Pakistan operation in January 2020.

Studio development hubs for Japan and global clients

Idenbrid runs what it calls studio development hubs (SDH), in which engineers are contracted to build systems for a client. It operates one hub for the Japanese market and another for global clients, and each covers both contracted development and laboratory-style development. Its client list runs from start-ups through to companies on the Prime market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Engineer placement and onboarding support

Idenbrid also helps companies that need engineers and designers, whether they are to work inside a client's team or alongside it. Its SES engineer placement support covers finding and introducing candidates, arranging interviews and seeing the hiring through to the point where the person joins. The sales side of this service helps clients bring talented engineers and designers on board, both internal and external.

Two countries, two kinds of development

The arrangement between Japan and Pakistan forms the basis of the company's model. Work that needs large teams and long delivery schedules is handled from Japan, while the Pakistani engineers take on the laboratory-style work where experiments are needed. Idenbrid also runs its own application development and operation in the Pakistani market, so part of its engineering output is delivered on its own products rather than for a client.

Generative AI, data and cloud work

The company's own description of its services lists system development, mobile applications, progressive web apps, user interface and user experience design, and Node.js systems. It also names generative AI, data analytics and cloud solutions, which it offers as consulting as well as build work, to help companies carry out digital transformation. The overall offer is aimed at companies that want to modernise their systems and products without building a large team of their own.
