Vu Van Tiep, Head of Veka.ai, VNG Digital Business, shared his view on the market prospect: “In Vietnam, the scope for AI Camera development remains significantly expansive.

Over 75% organizations using cloud services prioritise cloud-first strategy

A cloud-first strategy is an approach to cloud computing that involves embracing cloud technologies for all new applications, platforms, and infrastructure. Vu Minh Nhut, Senior Service Consultant at VNG Cloud, emphasized: “Given that spending on hardware is expected to decline by at least 5% in 2023, and more than 75% of organizations are adopting a cloud-first strategy according to Gartner, businesses have increasingly recognized the profound impact of cloud adoption on their strategic approach. Rather than viewing cloud service as a cost-saving tool, organizations are shifting towards a value-oriented mindset. They now recognize that cloud computing can lead to competitive advantages, improve customer satisfaction, and generate new revenue streams.”

In April 2023, Gartner also forecasted a 9.1% increase in IT services spending compared to 2022, primarily driven by the infrastructure-as-a-service market, expected to grow by over 30% in the same year.

VNG Cloud, leveraging its Uptime Tier III VNG Data Center, continues to promote Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), diverse Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions tailored to various industries, enhancing business effectiveness.
