Scaling global technical support through intelligent delivery expansion
Overview
A global technology leader serving enterprise customers across the Asia Pacific region required a delivery model that could ensure uninterrupted technical support while strengthening business continuity. With operations previously centralized in China, the client recognized the need to diversify its delivery footprint and establish contingency centers outside the region.
At the same time, the client needed to continue delivering high-quality technical support in Japanese, Korean and Mandarin, languages critical to supporting enterprise customers with high expectations for service quality and responsiveness. To achieve this at scale and within tight timelines, the client partnered with HCLTech to design and operate a robust, multilingual delivery model.
The Challenge
Ensuring continuity, scale and multilingual excellence

The client faced multiple, interrelated challenges:
- Business continuity and language support: The need to establish contingency centers outside India while continuing to provide high-quality Japanese, Korean and Mandarin technical support for Asia Pacific customers.
- Rapid scale and delivery: New delivery centers had to be set up and fully operational in Malaysia and Taiwan within eight months, including hiring and training a 200+ member multilingual technical workforce.
- High customer expectations: Japanese and Korean enterprise customers required exceptional service quality, responsiveness and technical depth.
- Proactive and reactive support demands: Managed services required proactive monitoring and predictive maintenance, while the operations team needed to handle high incident volumes with rapid, multilingual troubleshooting.
