A Global Competitor

With the characteristic energy of youth, this young nation is pushing hard to build a future where Vietnam is a global competitor-and America is a top trading partner. One area in particular is in providing outsourcing services to American businesses looking for faster, better, cheaper ways to make their products from apparel manufacturing to clerical support centers, from software development services to contract computer product manufacturing to integrated circuit production. Outsourcing to an overseas company may not be appropriate for every situation, but when it does, clearly the Vietnamese want to prove that they have the capability to be a worthy business partner.

Opportunity Arrives

Partnering with industry, the Vietnamese government is making a big push to expand their economy; encouraging significant investments in education, transportation, housing, and technology. Over the last several years, significant reforms, including a wide-ranging trade agreement with the US and the promise of World Trade Organization membership in 2006, have caught the attention of those looking for capable off-shore partners and foreign investments, now exceeding $30 billion. The partnership between government and industry provides important impetus to this thrust. Industrial growth has been constant at 15% annually for many years, and similar examples of extraordinary growth can be found in telecommunications and road systems. Wireless Internet cafes are popping up everywhere and everyone has a mobile phone, not unexpected in a society of thirty-somethings.

Competition on the Rise

The Vietnamese are determined to challenge their much larger, older, and better financed competitors (India and China). Economic growth has averaged 7-8.5% annually for the past 8 years and expects to be 9.5% in 2008, earning good profits for an increasing number of private and public Vietnamese firms. Considering the state that the country was in following the war, Vietnam's emergent growth can only be considered spectacular.

Modern Infrastructure

As with many emerging economies, Vietnam will leap-frog the telecommunications and computing infrastructure of 30 years ago-jumping directly into advanced fiber optic cabling and wireless capabilities. And, many of the globally largest corporations have taken notice of the investment. More and more high-technology production is moving to Vietnam. Several multi-national companies such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, and Infosys have well established contracts manufacturing computers, printers, and components. These companies are in Vietnam because of the quality of the products produced here.

Outsourcing For a New Beginning

Outsourcing services are equally as expansive as outsourcing products, and the competitive capabilities of Vietnamese companies are very impressive - even when measured on a global scale.

In a recent report from BusinessWeek revealed that more companies are now outsourcing to Vietnam. Most of them are from North America followed by Europe and Japan. Multinational clients outsourcing to Vietnam include Nortel Networks, Cisco, IBM, Hewlett Packard, British Aerospace, British Petroleum, Sony, Fuji and Tata Consultancy Services.

A national IT development strategy has been put in place and Saigon and Hanoi City has launched its own locally funded plan to improve infrastructure and IT human resources. The government is also planning to train 25,000 software engineers by 2010.

Where education is concerned, the government has a policy to build a new network of universities and colleges between 2001 and 2010 aimed at doubling the number of students per 10,000 of the population from 117 to 200. It has also stressed that 50 percent of higher education staff should be postgraduates and capable of innovative research.

That explains why so many U.S. businesses are sticking with the country for offshore development despite annemerging range of options.
