VN, Japanese IT firms ink strategic pact
FPT Software, Viet Nam's leading software outsourcing company, signed a strategic cooperation agreement in the field of software development with Japan's Recruit Technologies.
Inked on Sunday in the central city of Da Nang, the agreement aims to help FPT Software expand its operations in Japan, considered the most important market in the company's globalisation strategy.
It will also offer new employment opportunities for Vietnamese students studying information technology, telecom electronics and Japan studies.
Under the agreement, FPT Software will recruit a significant number of employees every year for joint projects between the two companies. In the 2014-16 period, the company's office in Da Nang is expected to employ about 2,000 people.
Established in 1988, FPT Software is a division of FPT Corporation, a leading information and communication technology group in Viet Nam.
Through years of development, FPT Software has become the country's top supplier of software outsourcing, with almost 5,000 employees in Viet Nam, Japan, the United States, France, Germany, Singapore and Malaysia.
In 2012, it was listed among the top 100 global service suppliers by Italy's Global Services company and the US's Neo Group.
In September, the company was named one of the 500 largest software suppliers in the world by the US's Software Magazine.
