form Strategic Partnership
FPT Software and Hitachi Group signed a strategic
partnership agreement on April 27, 2012 to provide
core systems to universities in Vietnam using cloud
computing.
The two companies will jointly localize Uniprove/AS,
Hitachi’s academic affairs information system for
universities, into Vietnamese. A trial will be

solution for comprehensively supporting student
information management from entrance examination
through to graduation, for faculty administration,
and for university management. Under the alliance,
Hitachi will provide technical support, while FPT
Software will be responsible for service provision
and sales activities.
Hitachi and FPT Software will also look at extending
services to universities in other ASEAN nations from
fiscal year 2014 through to the end of March 2015,
based on service and sales knowledge built up in
Vietnam.
