FPT Software has signed a three-year contract with German energy supplier E.ON. to provide software services.

A company announcement made in early March said the services comprise software development, testing and project management. The value of the project is expected to be more than 10 million USD.

This is the second-largest contract for FPT Software in the energy sector, the first one being a five-year contract with Germany's electricity and gas supplier RWE Group.

The Vietnamese software giant said that the deal with E.ON proves its ability and backs its ambition to become a leading IT service provider in the German market.

It has also signed a contract to provide software development, testing and solution design services for DCI AG, a German company providing creative solutions in the e-commerce sector.

Michael Mohr, general director of DCI AG, said he believes his company has taken the right decision to co-operate with FPT Software. He said that the Vietnamese firm has skilled staff capable of offering effective consulting services in technical solution design based on DCI AG's platforms.

FPT Software, a member company of the FPT Group, earned revenues of 421 billion VND (20.04 million USD) from the European market last year, a 117 percent increase over 2013.

E.ON, formed in June 2000, operates across Europe, Russia and North America with more than 62,000 employees. In 2013, it posted sales of more than 122 billion EUR (more than 130.3 billion USD).-VNA
