Vietnam has another digital transformation centre (Photo: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) – The ITG Technology JSC on November 2 officially launched a digital transformation centre (ITG DX) to support businesses with digital transformation in Hanoi in response to the Government's National Digital Transformation Programme.
The centre developed three big goals, from raising awareness to implementing and popularising digital transformation values to the business community in Vietnam.
The ITG DX centre will provide firms with knowledge about basic digital transformation and experience from many leading experts in Vietnam and those from Asia who specialise in digital technology and transformation and improving productivity and quality for businesses.
ITG's experts will help enterprises create a vision for digital transformation and build a strategic roadmap to speed up their digital transformation.
In the context of Vietnam's shortage of human resources with high technology and automation qualifications, the popularisation of world-class information and knowledge helps each business improve its thinking and skills to make deeper inroads into the global supply chain.
ITG also accompanies businesses in their journey "from strategy to execution" to optimise the speed (S), quality (Q), cost (C) and delivery (D), which are the top factors that businesses are interested in.
The centre's digital transformation experts will give advice, orient the vision and work with businesses to develop specific strategies, plan roadmaps and implement digital transformation programmes.
According to ITG, this process will help not only conduct digital transformation following resources of each enterprise and each stage but also contribute to minimising risks and waste to the environment and energy as businesses expand their operations.
ITG and its partners will collaborate to disseminate knowledge, practical experience and digital transformation values to the Vietnamese business community, promoting growth in Vietnamese businesses.

ITG DX has a mission to work with businesses to optimise resources and accompany enterprises in building a vision of digitisation and intelligentisation in factories and workshops, contributing to promoting domestic production and creating momentum for breakthrough development shortly, he added.
In the fourth industrial revolution era, the application of modern technology, smart production development and digital transformation is an inevitable trend for enterprises.
However, according to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the readiness for the fourth industrial revolution at industrial manufacturers stood at a low level.
Specifically, the access capacity is limited in all the six pillars of strategy and organisation; smart factory, intelligent operation, data-based services, smart product and labourer.
Meanwhile, another survey carried out by the Vietnam Software and IT Services Association revealed that 92% of participating enterprises needed digital transformation. Still, they don't know where to start or how to implement it.
In 2021, the Department of Enterprise Development under the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) surveyed 1,300 businesses to find out what difficulties those businesses were facing.
The results showed that up to 60.1% of participants said that high investment and technology application expenses are difficult. This is partly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused businesses to face many obstacles in revenue reduction and capital shortages.
Meanwhile, 52.3% of survey respondents stated that the transformation would alter employees' work habits. Some firms have applied the software, but workers and employees do not apply it, or only partially, so enterprises can't achieve the digital transformation goal.
Therefore, the centre will help enterprises access knowledge and information about digital transformation, easily change their production models and fully tap the fourth industrial revolution, Luan said./.
