FPT aims to combine
units, focusing on software |
|
According to the
Bloomberg’s recent interview, FPT Corporation said it
plans to combine its technology units and focus on
restoring the annual earnings growth rate to more than
30 percent.
FPT, which in May announced a
cloud-computing alliance with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), is
seeking to renew its focus on telecommunications and
internet services and software development after the
pace of profit growth fell below 20 percent in the last
three years.
In 2010, pretax profit increased 19
percent to VND2 trillion (US$96 million), FPT said in a
statement on its website. Revenue except internal sales
of goods and services rose 9.5 percent to VND20.5
trillion.
The company has a “commitment” to
boost revenue by up to 25-fold by 2020, the former CEO
Nguyen Thanh Nam said in May. FPT expects both revenue
and pretax profit to increase 20 percent this year to
VND24.5 trillion and VND2.42 trillion respectively, it
said.

Schools urged to
improve foreign language training to meet IT
demand |
|
Software companies
have called on schools to strongly reform the training
of foreign languages for the information technology (IT)
sector. They believe that it is necessary to compel the
schools, which provide the labor force for the software
industry, to teach in English.
Foreign language
skill is one of the four criteria used to assess the
quality of the IT labor force: background knowledge,
technology skill, foreign language skill and soft
skills.
In order to solve the problem, Nguyen
Thanh Nam, former CEO of the Corporation for Financing
and Promoting Technology FPT said it is necessary to
force schools to teach in English.
In fact, some
schools have been teaching IT subjects in foreign
languages. At FPT University, for example, students
learn foreign languages (English or Japanese) in the
first year at the school. After the first year, students
who cannot meet the requirements in foreign language
skills will not be allowed to study professional
knowledge.
