BAP IT JSC was founded on 1 March 2016 and combines 500+ engineers across Tokyo, Osaka, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hue, USA, Korea and Sydney. We don't just write AI code — we ship live production AI (1Person, HotelX, MoveX, BAP RealEstate) for 100+ enterprise clients under ISO 9001 & ISO 27001 governance.
We hear the same six blockers from Series-B SaaS in San Francisco, manufacturers in Penang, banks in Jakarta and EU operators working with the AI Act. Each maps to a BAP delivery engine below.
US, EU and Singapore talent markets have been stripped of senior AI engineers. Your roadmap is gated by hiring you cannot close at the cost you can defend.
Data is fragmented across Salesforce, SAP, custom ERPs and spreadsheets. AI projects bog down in integration before delivering any value.
A demo wows the board, then dies in security review or eval gaps. We engineer for production from day one, with MLOps and observability.
EU and SEA buyers cannot ship sensitive data to US-hosted models. We design private deployments — VPC-isolated, on-prem LLM, or air-gapped.
One time zone cannot keep production AI healthy 24/7. Our Vietnam / Japan / Korea hubs cover APAC in-house and bridge to EMEA + Americas.
Onshore engineering at 250–400 USD/hour cannot scale with AI demand. Vietnam delivery with Japan governance cuts that 50–70%.
We don't pitch AI maturity models. We ship live AI products — used by real customers, with real metrics, and clickable for you to test. Each is owned and operated by BAP engineers and continuously updated.
1Person builds a living Business Brain of your brand voice, products and customers — and runs your marketing on infrastructure you can audit, verify, or self-host on your own hardware.
HotelX deploys Guest, Revenue and Operations AI agents that handle multilingual guest messaging, dynamic pricing, housekeeping coordination and OTA updates 24/7. Live in under 24 hours.
MoveX is the AI agent platform for logistics: ML-based routing, predictive demand, real-time GPS visibility and sub-second auto-dispatch across 100+ vehicles per tenant.
BAP RealEstate is a property search platform for Vietnamese and other foreign tenants in Japan. AI curates listings tagged with foreigner-OK, pet-OK, no-guarantor, furnished and other filters that traditional Japanese portals hide.
Plus BAP vertical platforms that anchor enterprise contracts: Smart MES (manufacturing), ENEBAP (energy & utilities), Adaptive Learning (education), AI Workflows (enterprise). See the full product catalog →
These are our offices — Da Nang HQ houses our largest delivery team, Tokyo and Osaka anchor the Japan client interface, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City cover SEA, plus US, Korea and Sydney for follow-the-sun operations.
We don't hide behind stock photos. These are real BAP engineers, leaders and teams — from company trips, certifications, internal events and client collaborations over the past 3 years.
18 of 500+ BAP engineers, operators and leaders — gallery rolls forward every quarter.
Dao Ngoc Thanh — Founder & CEO, BAP IT JSC
Founded 1 March 2016, BAP was built on a personal conviction: enterprises in Japan, Vietnam and beyond deserve software quality that doesn't drop with geography. That conviction became the company mission — Empowering human resources to bring the value of technology to life — and the operating values of Leadership, Unity and Professionalism.
Ten years later, BAP operates 9 offices across Tokyo, Osaka, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hue, the USA, Korea and Sydney, with the Da Nang HQ housing our largest engineering and AI delivery team. Director CEO message from the founder: read the full CEO message →
CyberAgent lineage · experience inside Japanese enterprises · built BAP on kodawari and omotenashi.
Most consultancies do one of these. Most offshore shops do none of them well. BAP does all five with the same Japan-based + Japan-experienced engineers — so the people who built it also keep it healthy in production.
Oracle / SQL Server → Snowflake / Databricks / BigQuery. CDISC for pharma, FHIR for healthcare, ISA-95 for manufacturing.
RAG, agents, fine-tuning, MLOps. Production from day one with evals and guardrails.
Monoliths rebuilt into clean APIs and event streams that talk to data + AI layers. Phased, no big-bang risk.
ServiceNow, Microsoft 365, Salesforce. Copilot Studio integrations that actually solve intake.
DC → AWS / Azure / GCP migration, then AMS L2/L3 across APAC + EMEA. ISO-27001 change management.
Our hybrid model: Japanese staff in Tokyo + Vietnamese engineers with native-level Japanese and prior careers inside Japanese enterprises (Fujitsu, NTT Data, Rakuten, SoftBank lineage). Same working style as Tokyo, half the cost.
Our Tokyo office has Japanese managers and engineers. Our Vietnam-side leads are alumni of Japanese enterprises with native-level Japanese — they receive requirements in Japanese, return them in Japanese. No interpreter, no telephone game.
Documentation discipline, ringi process, audit trails, SLA commitments — Japanese-quality is our default operating mode, not an add-on.
Data → AI → run handed off inside a single squad, never to a stranger six months in. Long-term partnership model, not a one-shot delivery.
GDPR, EU AI Act, PDPA, ISMS — three deployment tiers: VPC-isolated, on-prem LLM, or air-gapped so legal can sign off.
50–70% lower than US / EU / Singapore onshore rates and Tokyo onsite rates, without the quality drop typical of low-cost offshore.
1Person, HotelX, MoveX, BAP RealEstate — each is run by BAP in production and open for you to demo. This is what our AI maturity looks like.
Legacy systems blocking the roadmap → start with the Legacy Health Check. Either way, low risk and decision-grade evidence by month-end.
