About Event & Agenda

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis has urged businesses of all domains to rethink how they operate and sustain. In IT outsourcing, the fragility of a single-source strategy has been exposed, and the clock is ticking for those who depend on their software development and IT services solely on China or another major market. This May, we will zoom into the matter of geo-diversification in IT outsourcing which will hopefully help your organization to recover and prepare for any global shocks like COVID-19 in the future.

The German Asia-Pacific Business Association (OAV), in collaboration with Southeast Asia leading IT services provider FPT Corporation, are delighted to invite you to the webinar: IT Outsourcing outlook: Geo-diversification 2020. The event will give you insights into:

  • Opportunities and Challenges for German ITO in Vietnam by Mr. Björn Koslowski – Deputy Chief Representative of AHK
  • Case study 1: Setting up the Application Development site in Central Vietnam by Mr. Till Gartner – Executive Vice President of MGM Technology Partners.
  • VIETNAM: The next agile outsourcing powerhouse by Dr. Truong Gia Binh, Dean of Private Sector Development Committee, Advisory Council of Administrative Procedure Reform for the Prime Minister, Chairman of Vietnam Software Association (VINASA), Chairman of FPT Corporation.
