On the past two days of November 11, 12, the
Global
Sourcing Forum + Expo took place in New York, the
United States. This is the largest Forum + Expo in the
world on the outsourcing in the information technology
(IT) industry, attracting the participation of nearly
100 enterprises from 25 nations.
Bright prospects
Vietnamese delegation led by the Ministry of Information
and Communication, the Vietnam Software Association (Vinasa)
and nine leading IT enterprises in Vietnam have attended
the Expo. Aprotrain Corporation is the first and sole training
enterprise in Vietnam attending the world’s leading
event.
This is the global large-scale Expo of the world
software industry. In seminars in the framework of this
Expo, leaders and presidents of giant IT Groups in the
world have presented problems relating to the
outsourcing in the IT industry in 2009 such as: real
situation, challenges, tendency and sharing of
strategies, and successful experience in this field. In
addition, enterprises have many opportunities to meet
and seek partners in order to co-operate in deploying
projects on products and services in IT industry.
For the Vietnamese software industry, through the
world’s Outsourcing Expo, bright prospects for
the development in the future can be affirmed. So far,
software projects mainly are transfered to nations with
strong IT manpower such as India and China. However, in
recent years, these nations have increased the
production prices, which causes the nations looking for
partners of software outsourcing to find other nations
with lower expenses. With potential advantages: young,
intelligent and painstaking workforce, espencially low
expenses, Vietnam is an ideal destination for the groups
needing to outsource software.

Human resource advantages?
Although the potentiality of software outsourcing is so
good, when attending this world leading event,
Vietnamese enterprises have only aimed at the target of
approaching, studying and preparing for the plan to
"move to big sea" in the next years. Why is the target
of Vietnamese IT enterprises is so humble? The main
problem falls to IT human resources. The software
projects in the world require the participation of
thousands of computer programmers. However, there are
few Vietnamese software companies which have sufficient
computer programmers. Enterprises always meet with
difficulties in the human resource recruitment. IT
graduates fresh out of the university lack both the
knowledge about technology and working skills,
enterprises need to retrain them from 6-8 months so that
they can work. IT human resources in Vietnam is short of
both in quality and quantity.
Being the top group in Vietnam, Aprotrain has the
over-ten-year experience of deploying the vocational
training on information technology and providing
professional and experienced human resouces for
Vietnam’s IT industry, focusing on professions:
International computer programmers, Network system
experts, multi-media fine arts designers. At the
present, Aprotrain has four training establishments in
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with over 3,000 trainees. The
advantages of training the newest technologies, and
working skills, organizing services for introducing
employment have helped 95% graduates from the centres of
Aprotrain to get their jobs immediately. Most of
trainees accepted in enterprises can work immediately
and only in the short time they have succeed and had the
promotion in the position of managers such as team
leaders or project managers.
With strong changes in the field of software outsourcing
in the world, software projects have been transferred to
the new area with lower expenses, this is a favourable
oppotunity for IT industry in Vietnam to break through.
The models of application training at the international
level as Aprotrain need to be further deployed in order
to sufficenlty provide the manpower and help the
information technology industry of Vietnam to move to
"big sea".
