New Computer Technology market report from Business Monitor International: "Vietnam Information Technology Report Q4 2012"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 02/12/2013 --Vietnamese IT spending is expected to reach US$2.53bn in 2012, up 15%, with BMI upwardly revising its forecast due to macroeconomic factors. The PC market slowed in Q112, but drivers including rising PC penetration, economic growth, a range of government ICT initiatives and a campaign to develop Vietnam's domestic IT industry will help to sustain continued expansion going forward. Vietnam's improving ICT infrastructure will also drive the development of the nation's IT market in a country with below 20% PC penetration. Meanwhile, there is strong demand for ERP solutions in 2012 and cloud computing revenues are expected to report at least 300% growth over the five-year forecast period to 2016.

Key Trends & Developments.

- In H112, vendors reported continued robust sales of ERP solutions, despite the uncertain economic situation. There is still a lot of potential for Vietnamese enterprises to increase spending on basic solutions. A number of Vietnamese companies embarked on large-scale ERP implementations, including Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group (HAGL), which launched a VND100bn ERP system. However, while the ERP market is strong, it is estimated that only about 10% of Vietnamese businesses have used CRM.
- In 2011, a number of government ministries and organisations, including the Ministry of Education and Training, started to promote the roll out of cloud services. Plans to modernise IT in government agencies and the customs department, as well as the Tax Administration Modernization Plan for 2008-2013 represent opportunities for vendors of IT products and services.
