CLOUD COMPUTING IS THE CENTER OF INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION 4.0
In 2017, the "Industrial Revolution 4.0" is one of the hottest topics discussed in the world. According to experts, the industry 4.0 will change our life, work and collaboration. The cloud computing will become essential part of our life.
Like in all the other revolutions, before the change there are always opportunities and challenges. Vietnam has missed the industrial revolution 3.0 and whether this is a chance for the market to rise fast to shorten the gap with more developed countries. The advantage is always for the pioneers. On June 22nd, VINASA has cooperated with the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and organized “Vietnam Cloud Computing Conference 2017” for Vietnamese enterprises to discuss the opportunities of the industry 4.0 wave. The theme of the conference was "Vietnam and the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Fostering Digital Transformation with Cloud Computing.".
Mr. Le Viet Thanh Luan – E.V.P. of FPT International Telecom One Member Limited Company (FTI) participated in the conference, and talked about the topic "Cloud application in enterprises - advantages and challenges". "At present, the investment expenditure in cloud computing is observing its impressive growth rate. By 2020, the cloud infrastructure market is expected to overtake the traditional data center infrastructure. This is a great opportunity for cloud computing services providers, and of course for FPT Telecom to succeed in the fast-growing market in Vietnam. "
FPT Telecom is cooperating with Internet Initiative Japan to provide FPT HI GIO CLOUD service in Vietnam for individual customers, SMB’s and large enterprise customers. This is the unique service in the market that meets all the most advanced and strict Vietnam and International standards, and provides the top infrastructure, reliability, flexibility, management and marketing experience of FPT Telecom.
Mr. Luan mentioned that "FPT HI GIO CLOUD is the solution suitable for Vietnamese businesses as it creates the significant competitive advantage by saving initial investment costs, especially regarding infrastructure, stability, flexibility, reliability together with optimizing administrative performance to foster organizational growth. "
Sharing about the real experience of using FPT Telecom FPT HI GIO CLOUD at the conference, Mr. Nghiem Sy Thang, CIO of VietABank, said "Banks today are extending their current model to more innovative and developed up-to-date system. VietABank is the first bank in Vietnam to move the entire data center to the Cloud. Cloud computing services such as FPT HI GIO CLOUD facilitate the innovation programs of "open Bank".
In the afternoon session, Mr. Doan Dang Khoa - Southern Regional Business Deputy Director, FPT Telecom International, continued with the topic "Trends, challenges, opportunities for Vietnam Cloud market". Mr. Khoa said that cloud computing is the inevitable trend, and applications will change the traditional way of operating in the nearest future. It gives us more flexibility in scheduling our work, to work from everywhere, to minimize migration time, and easily interact with our colleagues to handle any information and faster make decisions.
Therefore, the main challenges of IT providers today are: stability, data security, ability to easily expand when there is a demand and management throughout the platform. At the same time, the financial and accounting departments and business leaders have their own challenges and must find ways to reduce the initial investment costs, to bring products and services to market faster than their competitors.
“Fortunately, science and technology are making huge strides to solve challenges by using Cloud computing services. FPT Telecom International is offering Office 365 products – a strategic service from Microsoft that helps businesses to overcome difficulties and take advantage of Cloud Computing for rapid development and increasing business efficiency.” Exchange Online, OneDrive, Skype for Business and many other applications could make your business life so much better. With Office 365, users have not limit to access and edit their work; now they can use any devices, such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, etc. and get work done quickly anywhere, anytime and from any device. “Furthermore, we offer different varieties of service packages, designed to meet different needs and different company sizes” – Mr. Khoa added.
And it’s no more a prediction but the fact that businesses in Vietnam will have to innovate the way they work and to migrate to cloud computing in the nearest future to catch the opportunities of the industrial revolution 4.0.
