Up to 83 per cent of Vietnamese enterprises consider cloud computing a
top priority and 67 per cent said cloud computing made a great impact on
business transformation.
These were shown on the VMware Cloud
Index 2013 published on November 6 by the Vietnamese branch of US-based
virtualisation software company VMware.
The survey also indicated
that 41 percent of firms expressed their hope to develop cloud
computing in the future, taking the third place in the Asia-Pacific
region after the Philippines and Thailand.
The company’s study showed that the demand of businesses was pushing towards the change in information technology (IT).
Eighty-eight per cent of participants said meeting higher demands of
customers and enhancing customers’ satisfaction are prioritised in the
next 12 months.
Especially, 80 per cent of surveyed companies said that they relied on IT staff to apply technology in business.
Besides, 89 per cent of enterprises considered IT as an important
factor in making big changes and a source in bringing business value for
them.
In the survey, 77 percent believed that the awareness of
prestige, influence and power of chief information officers was higher.
Huynh Phuc Yem Quan, general director of VMware Vietnam,
said, “Cloud computing now becomes a decisive trend in the IT field and
we realise the rapid increase in the awareness and virtualisation
applications in the Vietnamese market.”
VMware Cloud Index was
carried out by Forrester Consulting with the financial support of VMware
in 10 Asia-Pacific countries. This is the first time Vietnam and the
Philippines have been included in the survey.
In Vietnam
alone, the survey included 265 enterprises from different areas, with
the participation of 50 per cent of local firms, 25 per cent of state
agencies and public organisations and 25 percent of transnational
companies.-VNA
