Increasing Demand for Digitalization and Scalable IT Infrastructure

Cloud computing companies should consider implementing IT services that assess all executions, apps, and network connections.
- IT services have become more data-driven and real-time due to developments in IT operation across the cloud-based platform, producing higher value for the business, particularly in operational efficiency, business opportunity identification, and remote access optimization.

Sixteen percent of their IT spending is committed to the cloud, and they intend to expand the amount of hybrid spending from 41% in Feb 2021 to 43 percent by 2023. In addition, during the next two years, businesses in Vietnam intend to use at least eight clouds from an increasing number of vendors.
- The young population rate and the high smartphone and Internet coverage are the factors that will help Vietnam expedite its digital transformation.
- For instance, According to World Bank data, Vietnam's digital economy is growing at 10% per year. It could reach more than USD 200 billion by 2045, a massive figure compared to the country's GDP, which was approximately USD 352 billion in 2021.

- In addition, mobile network operators will expand 5G commercial coverage to 16 provinces and cities in 2021. The Department of Telecommunications has made it easier for these companies to adopt mobile services and Internet packages. All three leading mobile network carriers have introduced a Mobile Money service, opening up a new development space and laying the groundwork for having 100% of adults have a Mobile Money account. The Department also collaborated with mobile network operators to protect customers' interests to combat spam texts, calls, and SIMs.
