TOKYO, JAPAN, 18 AUGUST 2022—Deloitte Japan announced the launch of a new company, Deloitte Tohmatsu RippleMark LLC, as part of its strategy to expand its cloud and digital transformation capabilities for Deloitte clients in Japan and Asia Pacific.

“RippleMark is an exciting development that demonstrates Deloitte’s goal to invest in innovative, end-to-end digital solutions that should help enable clients, in Japan, Asia Pacific and globally, to accelerate time to value for Deloitte clients,” says Sam Balaji, Deloitte Global Consulting leader.
“This accomplishment moves Deloitte Tohmatsu Group forward as part of Deloitte Asia Pacific and Deloitte Global’s overall consulting strategy, by enhancing Deloitte Japan’s capability to provide end-to-end delivery services in the technology domain,” says Masato Sase, CEO, Deloitte Japan Consulting. “The inauguration of Deloitte Tohmatsu RippleMark highlights the consistent progress of Deloitte Japan Consulting’s strategies on technology offerings, extending its services in the Operate area where significant demand is, leveraging it’s suite of technology services, and accelerating our current initiative to develop an LDC (local delivery centre) platform.”
