HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Information and Communications held a launch ceremony for 1Office, an enterprise management platform, on Friday.

This is one of the "Make-in-Việt Nam" digital platforms selected by the ministry to promote a comprehensive and wide-ranging digital transformation.

This is an activity in a series of events introducing the made-in-Việt Nam digital platforms to implement the national digital transformation programme by 2025.

1Office is a platform that transforms the total management activities of businesses from personnel, customers, and communications on a single platform.

It creates an online working environment, bringing high efficiency for the entire enterprise.

Talking to the press on the sidelines of the event, Nguyễn Huy Dũng, director of the Authority of Information Technology Application, said that this was an overall platform to help businesses transform from a normal to a digital environment, and from the traditional to cyberspace.

The platform had the same functions but the price was cheaper than foreign commercial products, he said.

In particular, the cost for 1Office is affordable from VNĐ2,000 (10 US cents) per user per day.

Deputy Minister Nguyễn Thành Hưng said the platform was a clear demonstration of the creative capacity of Vietnamese digital technology enterprises in general and 1Office in particular.

The deputy minister also emphasised that with the push from the COVID-19 pandemic, digital transformation would help Vietnamese businesses be flexible in changing operation models, and reducing costs to maintain operations to survive and recover strongly.

“The Ministry of Information and Communications expects that Vietnamese digital technology businesses will grasp the opportunity, develop more digital platforms to serve a comprehensive and wide-ranging digital transformation in economic and social fields, contributing significantly to the goals of the national digital transformation programme," said Hưng. — VNS
