FPT Software’s RPA Platform akaBot Wins Record Deal With Japanese Client
View Detail >>
FPT Software on Monday signed a five-year licensing agreement with a Japanese company, enabling the use of its RPA platform akaBot to develop an innovative staffing solution for the client.
While the contract amount was not disclosed, FPT Software’s Chief Delivery Officer Do Van Khac confirmed that it was “the most valuable licensing agreement” FPT Software ever obtained. Being a comprehensive RPA solution, akaBot automates hundreds of back-office operations, thus helping businesses save labor costs, boost productivity and minimize human errors.
“The client selected akaBot for its high-quality features and relevance to its long-term development roadmap”, Khac said, adding that FPT Software had signed a memorandum of understanding with the staffing firm in September.
akaBot was launched in 2018 and has since obtained significant achievements. In August, ThinkPower became akaBot’s first overseas agent in Taiwan, helping distribute and implement the RPA solutions for local financial companies. Most recently, akaBot was listed in the 2019 RPA Chaos Map report as a Top 30 RPA platform, alongside with big players such as UiPath and BluePrism. In the report, RPA Hack wrote: “this year, it included emerging tools that have lower licensing costs such as akaBot, Macroman, and Nalgo-bot”.
To date, akaBot has been implemented for more than 20 companies in Japan, South Korea, the US, as well as piloted at some Vietnamese banks.
Aspiring to become a world-class comprehensive digital transformation services provider, FPT Software has developed digital platforms and solutions through leveraging technologies such as artificial intelligence, analytics of Big Data, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), blockchain, etc, helping businesses worldwide to accelerate their digital transformation journey. The company also targeted to obtain a billion dollars in revenue by 2024.

According to FPT Software CEO Pham Minh Tuan, “the school will help to improve the quality of IT workforce in terms of Japanese language skills as well as business etiquettes”. “Students will also get to learn about project experiences and knowhow that FPT Software has accumulated over the past 20 years”, he said.
FPT Japanese Language School officially welcomed the first cohort on October 1st with 13 students. In 2019, it looks to improve the language efficiency for about 200 IT engineers.
Since entering Japan in the early 2000s, FPT Software has stepped up to provide the best training for its employees, from establishing a Japanese language training center in Vietnam to organizing Japanese business manner classes. In 2015, the company launched a 10K BrSE initiative in partnership with Meros language school in the hope of sending 10,000 bridge engineers to Japan for language courses.
“The FPT Japanese School will play an important role in developing our human resources and matching with our business growth target in Japan”, Tuan said. Japan has been FPT Software’s most significant market, contributing more than 50% to the company’s total revenue and on average growing at a rate of 30 per cent per year
Having over 1,600 employees working across 11 offices in Japan, FPT Japan is currently the largest subsidiary of FPT Software overseas. The company sets to become a top 20 leading tech firm in Japan within three years with revenue of 500 million USD and 3,000 on-site employees.
In celebration of FPT Software 20th birthday anniversary, thousands of employees around the world have engaged in the “Run for Green” initiative to improve health and wellness while making a positive impact on the environment.
Launched since July, ‘Run for Green’ sets to be an annual running event to promote a greener lifestyle among the company. Participants could run at their convenience and record their mileage in an app that the company developed itself. For every 20 km recorded, the company will be planning one tree, with the runners name tagged on to celebrate their contribution for the community.
FPT software targeted to plan 20,000 trees across 16 countries and territories that it has set foot in. Over the past three months, more than 500,000 km have been completed, meaning 25,000 trees are set to be planted.
The activity has involved FPT Software employees as well as their families across Vietnam, Japan, Germany, etc. It attracted FPT leaders and employees as well as their families to participate. The most active runner belonged to FPT Automotive Group, an FPT Software arm that focuses on digital technologies for the automotive sector. He alone recorded more than 1,000 km of running.
The first 2,000 trees have recently been planted in the Mekong Delta province Soc Trang to help reforest and conserve mangroves in Vietnam.
Most employees comment that this activity empowers them to lead a healthy lifestyle and boosts their productivity at work. Apart from the tangible results, the event also raises the community’s awareness of environmental issues. FPT ChairmanTruong Gia Binh said that running would be one of the company’s core internal initiatives this year as he believes it will not only boost individual’s physical health, but it is also an opportunity for them to contribute to protect the environment and tackle climate change.
Together we run – Run for Green! FPT Software is set to become a sustainable business that brings positive and impactful changes to the environment and society. The company wishes to establish more efforts and movements to conduct business while taking care of the living world for the future generation.
HANOI, August 30, 2019 – Southeast Asia’s leading IT firm FPT on Thursday entered into a digital transformation agreement with DPDgroup, the Europe’s second largest parcel delivery network. The deal is not only a testament to FPT’s capabilities in operating at the highest end of the IT value chain, but also aligned with its goal of becoming a world’s leading provider of digital transformation services.
According to the agreement, FPT will be examining the IT system of DPDgroup before mapping out and deploying the digital technology platform IT4EM2 to improve business performance of the European courier across 12 countries. FPT will also work together with DPDgroup in Big Data analysis and help the client build the data architecture needed to become a data-driven business. The entire process will be guided by FPT Digital Kaizen methodology – ‘Think Big, Start Smart and Small, Scale Fast’, helping DPDgroup transform in the most cost-efficient and agile manner.
According to FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh, “this contract testifies the trust that DPDgroup puts in FPT’s expertise in logistics, technology capabilities, implementation capabilities, and our digital transformation methodology. It would also pay the way for us to become a Top 50 digital transformation services provider in the next ten years”.
“The world will be reinvented and will be explored. It demands us to be more creative and innovative. We can not do it all alone”, said Paul-Marie Chavanne, Chairman of GeoPost, the holding company of DPDgroup.
“We need a partner, and I hope that FPT is the privileged partner will help us jump high in this new world”, he added.
Posting 7-billion euro in sales last year, DPDgroup is the international subsidiary of the French Groupe La Poste, a Fortune Global 500 company.

Digital transformation is hard. As reported by Forbes, more than 80 percent of digital transformations fail, with no exception to big names like GE, Procter & Gamble, and Nike. So last month, we gathered the strategic minds in digital transformation, thinkers and creators included, to the Global DX Summit 2019 and discussed how we should go about this process. These are things we learned from gurus at this exclusive event.
Digital Kaizen
Kaizen is a Japanese business philosophy that originates from two Japanese words: Kai (improvement) and Zen (good). Later it became known as “continuous improvement”, which means making incremental changes that yield major improvements over time. According to FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh, digital transformation should be viewed as ‘Digital Kaizen’, where businesses constantly optimize their operations and eliminate inefficiency through innovative solutions. In that light, digital transformation isn’t necessarily a big bang, but rather, a series of quick wins that build towards long-term success.
It’s all about people
While ‘digital’ involves the use of technologies to reinvent how businesses operate and deliver value to customers, ‘transformation’ is about people. As FPT’s DX Advisor Chief Phuong Tram noted, digital transformation has to begin with people engagement and creating an environment where they are willing to change. “If you want to change, you have to engage people in parallel, you have to motivate people and begin with their heart in mind”, he said. The former CIO of Dupont constantly stressed the importance of people engagement throughout the summit. “If people are not with you, no mission, no strategy, no technology in the world can change”.
Data at the heart of digital transformation
Nikhil Dwarakanath, Grab’s Head of Analytics insisted that the key to navigate digital transformation is through data-driven insights. In a thirty-minute keynote speech, Nikhil shared how the ride-hailing startup leveraged the power of data to develop the Southeast Asia’s super-app. For instance, by analyzing millions of rows of GPS location data, Grab could track multiple metrics in real-time, including the customers’ travel patterns, their preferences, their likes and dislikes, helping the company constantly refine its products and enhance customer experience. Data-driven digital transformation, he added, is an extremely complex and time-consuming process, but customers must always be put at the core.
Agility
By its very nature, digital transformation is constantly evolving and inevitably the game of trials and errors. “You can spend a year or sometimes more to put your house in order, put your data together and feel good about it. And then two months later everything’s changed and it doesn’t work anymore”, Barret Brown, Head of APAC at Palantir Technologies spoke the hard truth. To conclude his presentation about data democratization, the DX practitioner stressed the importance of agility, that is being able to build a dynamic system and particularly “the ontology layer has to be the ontology itself”. “It has to be flexible, you can model it one way and then learn something new about the world and say “Oh I actually need to change that”, “OK no problem, that’s good”.
While each guru had an unique view to digital transformation, one thing they all agreed on was that digital transformation should be an incremental innovation rather than a huge, cumbersome project that create radically changes to the organization overnight. It should be data-driven, flexible, and above all, centered around people, customers and employees included.

Representatives of FPT and SBI signed the three-million dollar deal in Tokyo on 17 April, 2019
TOKYO/HANOI, April 18th, 2019 – Tokyo-based SBI Holdings Inc. (“SBI”) yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FPT Corporation (“FPT”) to invest $3 million dollars in Utop, a FPT blockchain startup that bridges loyalty point programs among merchants. Utop makes it easy and convenient for users to garner and redeem loyalty points at retailers within the same network, thereby enabling small businesses to grow faster.
Utop was developed based on FPT’s enterprise blockchain platform akaChainTM, which has been implemented in many countries and across various sectors from finance, insurance, retail, to supply chain. Through partnership with Utop, small businesses could link their reward programs with each other to reduce costs and keep data secure thanks to the multi-layered architecture of akaChainTM platform. Utop also ensures high liquidity for end users by allowing them to redeem points at any merchants within the network. It helps improve discount and reward programs and, at the same time, enhances customer experiences.
Mr. Yoshitaka Kitao, SBI’s President and Chief Executive Officer said “SBI and FPT have cooperated effectively in many past years by leveraging the strengths of both sides. A majority of SBI’s companies in Vietnam are either invested or jointly operated by FPT through its subsidiaries such as FPT Securities, Sendo, or TP Bank. Based on FPT’s enterprise blockchain platform akaChainTM, its technology capabilities, as well as strong network of customers, I am completely positive that this is the best time to launch Utop. I hope it has lots of potential to grow”.
FPT Chairman, Dr. Truong Gia Binh, noted: “The development of industry 4.0 technologies has created break-through opportunities for businesses, mushrooming so many innovative business models. We call it digital transformation. FPT has defined digital transformation as our key strategy, accompanying our customers worldwide in their digital transformation journey, helping improve their business processes and leverage their position. Utop will play its part in growing thousands of Vietnamese businesses, bringing convenience and interesting shopping experiences for millions of Vietnamese consumers, thereby contributing to the development of Vietnam’s digital economy”.
According to Mr. Pham Nguyen Vu, co-founder and director of Utop, “this platform has been running a pilot with FPT’s minimum viable ecosystem as well as various sectors such as retail, insurance, and finance since last December. The funding from FPT and SBI would be a great kick start to help Utop solidify its foundation and take bolder steps in the future”.

Hanoi, 11 April 2019 – Vietnam’s leading information technology company FPT, Japanese motorcycle maker Yamaha Motor (Yamaha) and urban developer Ecopark have entered into a memorandum of understanding on Thursday to develop self-driving electric vehicles through FPT’s autonomous technologies.
According to the MoU, FPT will develop autonomous driving software on a Yamaha electric vehicle based on a golf car, powered by Artificial Intelligence and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technologies. Yamaha will provide technical support and vehicle consulting during the road tests while Ecopark provides logistics and efficient infrastructures. The collaboration seeks to accelerate the adoption of autonomous vehicles technologies and realize the vision of smart public transportation in Vietnam.
The trio has set to improve the autonomous vehicle’s capabilities over time. On its first demo April, the vehicle will hit the road with original features such as traveling on a predetermined route; identifying lanes, returning to the starting point to complete a journey; stopping, parking, dropping off passengers as requested; or detecting and avoiding obstacles on the way. By the end of 2019, having been integrated with FPT’s autonomous technologies, the vehicle should be able to detect objects and vehicles on the road, slow down at sight of obstacles ahead, or handle the auto-parking function without passengers on board. At this stage, the users could also book autonomous vehicles via mobile apps.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to make a positive impact on the community through innovation”, said FPT Software’s Chairman Hoang Nam Tien. “We announced the launch of autonomous technologies in 2017, based on our in-depth research and capabilities in Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Internet of Vehicles, Cloud computing, and Image Processing, etc. The past two years has seen made-by-FPT autonomous technologies integrated into vehicles and successfully tested at high-tech zones. We hope this collaboration would bring us to the day where autonomous cars using our technologies could travel across urban areas, luxury resorts, factories and warehouses”, he asserted.
FPT has to date acquired Level 3 in driving automation and sought to upgrade one more notch by the end of 2019. The Southeast-Asia leading IT services provider looks to obtain level 5, the highest level of driving automation, and ISO 26262, an international safety standard for the automotive industry, within a few years.
“We chose FPT as the first partner in Vietnam to integrate advanced autonomous technologies into our latest electric cars based on their proven capabilities in digital transformation. We’re also confident that the Ecopark green city is one of the most suitable places for our vehicles to hit the road. Following two decades of research and development, we aspire to build low-speed, clean and smart vehicles that could shape the future of mobility, and the success of this collaboration would surely help validate our vision”, said Mr. Shoji Shiraishi, Fellow and Senior General Manager of New Venture Business Development Section, Advanced Technology Centre at Yamaha Motor.
The alliance with global firms FPT and Yamaha is also a big gain for Ecopark. As Mr. Nguyen Dung Minh, Deputy General Director of Ecopark noted, “this partnership helps us establish ourselves as a smart city that leveraging information technology and artificial intelligence to provide better living standards of our residents while utilizing energy and natural resources effectively. Apart from the greenery and urban landscape, the smart city initiative is our key strategy. Having big names like FPT and Yamaha as partners, we trust the latest technologies would be adopted to benefit our local residents”.

The race for driver-less cars in Southeast Asia gets intense as its autonomous pioneer FPT has planned to kick off a new autonomous project next Thursday in Hanoi. It seems that the global IT firm has kept itself busy since its made-in-Vietnam autonomous solutions were introduced for the first time in 2017.
FPT Global Automotive (FGA) – a strategic unit specializing on automotive technology solutions, has doubled the number of technology experts over the past two years. Some 2,000 employees have worked round the clock to make autonomous vehicles a reality. In October 2017, its first driver-less car hit the road, traveling at a speed of 20 km per hour and using various techniques such as artificial intelligence, radar, GPS, and computer vision to self-navigate, monitor their surroundings, automatically break, re-direct at the intersections and avoid obstacles. Japan’s Vice Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications, Mr. Masahiko Tominaga, was one of the distinguished guests who experienced the vehicle on its early days.
With self-driving technologies tested successfully at high-tech zones and campuses, FPT has been invited to work on several automotive projects by demanding Singaporean and Japanese clients. To date, the company has managed to acquire level 3 out of five levels of driving automation and hopefully by the end of 2019 it would gain one more notch. That means, the vehicle would be able to travel with little or no human input under selected road conditions.
For nearly a decade, FPT has been offering numerous services and solutions to world’s top automakers, OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and semiconductors in the industry. The global IT services provider leverages forefront innovations and provides engineering services to customers in multiple projects, ranging from In-Vehicle Infotainment, CAD/CAE, Connectivity to Middleware and Embedded Application.

FPT inaugurated a new office last week in Toulouse, home of aviation giant Airbus and also the European capital of aeronautics and space industries.
The new office is conveniently situated inside Airbus’s Skywise campus, next to big IT names including Palantir Technologies, IBM, CGI, and Capgemini. These four companies, as well as FPT, were handpicked by Airbus to deploy its open data platform Skywise.
“Our colleagues are working alongside the world’s finest brains on artificial intelligence, big data analytics and cloud computing to change the global aviation industry”, FPT’s Chairman Dr. Truong Gia Binh affirmed proudly. “The opening of our new office in Toulouse is a testament to the fact that Vietnamese firms can compete globally”, he said.
According to Mr. Mathew Evans, Airbus Director of Global Skywise Project, the two companies have collaborated comprehensively and extensively. “Skywise is a global aviation industry project”, he said, “we are in this together not only at the early stage but also set for a long future ahead”.
FPT Software and Airbus signed a letter of intent in mid-December 2017 to develop advanced technologies in aviation based on Airbus’s Skywise platform. Three months later, the two reached a new deal to further strengthen the Skywise ecosystem in Asia. This agreement made FPT the first Southeast Asian firm to become Airbus’s strategic partner in digital transformation.
Launched at the Paris Airshow 2017, Skywise is the “beating heart of aviation”. In time, Airbus aims to extend Skywise to become the data platform of reference for all major aviation players, helping them to improve operational performance and support their digital transformation. FPT currently has nearly 100 engineers working with Airbus on this project and sets to triple the number of team members in a near future.
FPT’s Toulouse office is operated by FPT Software Europe SARL, headquartered in Paris. With a global presence spanning 33 countries and territories, FPT has attributed overseas markets to its rapid growth in the past decades. In 2018, the company recorded more than a billion dollars in revenue, 39 percent of which came from overseas markets.
Do you know that the automotive industry is undergoing the most significant changes since Henry Ford industrialized automotive manufacturing in 1908? All these changes open up new growth opportunities and bring up big challenges concurrently, requiring YOU – companies in the automotive sector to acknowledge and manage them. Let’s take a look at the key challenges that Japanese automotive industry has to face in 2019.
- Consumer behaviour continues to change drastically
According to Japan Times, the young generation in Japan, especially those living in the city, prefer to utilize public transport, giving up on car ownership altogether. Young Japanese are not as keen on automobiles as their elders were while the older generation – car enthusiasts – are rapidly aging. Young Japanese no longer view cars as status symbols but find car ownership an “economic liability“. Owning and operating a car involves numerous expenses, including compulsory inspections (shaken) every two to three years, yearly automobile taxes, mandatory and optional insurance, high parking fees, toll expressways and gasoline cost (Source: Japan Automobile Federation). This explains why more young Japanese are shifting their life styles from owning cars to sharing cars – which is more cost efficient. As a result, they have the tendency of falling out of love with cars due to changes in individuals’ values on cars and financial circumstances.
This constitutes a structural obstacle to the business, leading to a decrease in car consumption domestically. The peak of automobiles sales was 7.8 million units in 1990 during the “bubble” economy, which has dropped to almost 70% of its peak now. There is little hope for major growth. The sales of automobiles will continue to decrease as the consumption tax keeps increasing.
- Digital demands to increase
Just as phones got smart, so will cars. As digital is increasingly applied to the driving experience, cars now are equipped with safety applications, traffic information services, driver assistance and a vast of infotainment features. All these new technical features aim to deliver safety, comfort, connectivity and ultimately, autonomous driving in the future. Worldwide sales of connected vehicles are expected to grow to slightly more than 77 million units annually by 2022, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% from about 19 million in 2014, according to IHS Automotive. In Japan, the connected-car related market is likely to expand to as large as a trillion yen by 2020. The market is projected to grow further by 2025 to almost twice the size of 2020 to 2 trillion yen, due to increasing number of connected cars and to wider acceptance of those services that use probe information or cloud ADAS (Source: Yano Research Institute Ltd.)
At present, only 10 percent of cars on Japan’s roads having embedded connectivity, compared with 49 percent in the U.S., 31 percent in Europe, and 20 percent in China, according to consultancy SBD Automotive. The threat to the Japanese carmakers is that they have to compete with competitors on a global level that have experience and have built the ecosystem and service platform. So far, the local carmakers have failed to come up with services that would draw users, according to Matsubara of IHS Markit. Toyota started its connectivity company in 2016 and aims to have 70 percent of new cars on the system by 2020. Nissan said last month it plans to offer connectivity for all new Nissan, Infiniti and Datsun cars sold in key markets by 2022. Honda hasn’t announced a target, but has said it’s in the progress of developing new connected technologies. The turning point will be around 2020 to 2025,” said Takao Asami, Nissan’s senior vice president in charge of research. “If we miss that period, we will have a big problem.”
To respond to the growing demands on connected cars, Japanese automotive players are required to shift their concentration and pursue open innovations. They could turn these challenges into opportunities, but only if they could figure out how to make money from this desire. OEMs will have to manage shorter product and service development cycles, such as software and other technology updates while Tier 1 suppliers will need to add more values in alternative powertrain technologies and in innovative solutions for active safety and infotainment.
- Labour shortage to go up
Another prominent problem of Japanese automotive industry is going out of skilled and efficient workers. Japan’s population is expected to decline from about 127 million to about 88 million by 2065, according to the National Institute of Population and Social Security. This issue has had huge impacts to every industry, especially Japanese automotive industry. People associated with cars company are near retirement age and automakers couldn’t find their equivalent replacement from young generation. As time passes, this subject becomes a serious concern and major issue for the Japanese automotive industry: replace the ageing engineering sector with young talents and encourage the young generations to pursue their career in the automotive field. That Japanese youngsters stay apathetic and indifferent towards cars or automotive division is definitely not going to be solved straightforwardly.
Gradually, this has caused labour shortage for Japanese automotive players and auto part suppliers, requiring them to change the traditional business management, operation or product strategy. They are facing with the challenges in optimizing efficiency and product quality despite declining employment. Robots and other automation have recently been utilized as resolutions to meet labour shortages.
—
To mitigate challenges and capture future growth, Japanese automotive players cannot simply turn to their traditional toolbox. They need to review and adjust their strategic priorities, deploy the appropriate investments and resources, and establish cooperation with partners from outside the automotive industry.
