What are SCM practices in Japan?

I will be doing an SCM related talk at a Japanese company site this spring. I realize I don't know much about the Japanese SCM scene (or Japanese software development in general for that matter).

Are there e.g. any differences to the processes and tools typically used in the west?

Thus, I'd like to get in touch with Japanese SCM/software engineers and other folks who are/have been working with software development in Japan.

Domo Arigato,

Hi,
SCM general process, practices and tools are same in Japan as of used in the west or any other part of the country. Though the approach of practicing SCM may vary depending on the nature of project or product as well as the culture of the organization. I have an experience with the Japanese based clients and feel quite comfortable with the processes and practices.

Lastly, it is the SCM practitioners that needs to understand the trends of software development in particular organization and map the CM processes accordingly.

Thanks!
