HCM City (VNA) – Two different awards, the Vietnam ICT Top 5 and Gold Medal Award, have been given to enterprises in the information and communication technologies sector to recognise their outstanding achievements.

The Vietnam ICT Top 5 award honoured 24 companies in eight categories – Top ICT enterprises, Top Vietnamese computer brands, Top IT system integration providers, Top ICT retailers, Top digital content firms, Top software service providers, Top software export and outsourcing, and Top IT training providers.

Twenty eight Gold Medals were given in nine categories: Vietnamese computer brand, IT system integration, retail, Internet, telecommunications, digital content, software development services, software and service exports, IT training and IT products, solutions and services for foreign enterprises.

But since the awards were based purely on annual revenues, in some categories, there were multiple winners and in others, just one.

Among the winners were CMC Corp, IDC Group, CMS, HPT, ROBO Technology Corp, WISCOM, CMC, Misa, FPT Software Co., Ltd, Phong Vu, Global CyberSoft Vietnam, and KMS Technology Vietnam.

Given by the HCM City Computer Association (HCA), the annual awards aim to recognise, popularise, honour and encourage ICT firms and foster their competitiveness.

HCA Deputy Chairman Le Trung Viet said some areas in the ICT sector such as software and software outsourcing and export are growing significantly in terms of revenues.-VNA
