Lam Nguyen Hai Long, head of the HCM City Computer Association – an organiser of the VIO 2018, said along with the speedy technological development, various new concepts and services have been formed, confusing enterprises in finding suitable solutions at affordable costs.

How to translate ICT knowledge into application for efficient and sustainable business management is a challenge facing many firms, he underscored.
