HCM
City (VNA) – The Ho Chi Minh City Union of Business
Associations (HUBA) on September 24 launched a digital transformation programme
for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to help improve their
competitiveness.
The
programme will be implemented in collaboration with the HCM City Computer
Association and its members as a part of the city administration’s efforts to
help SMEs gain better access to digital transformation solutions at reasonable
costs.
Under
the scheme, a committee for digital transformation under the management of the HUBA
and a digital transformation training centre for enterprises will be
established.
A
portal will be built to support the digital transformation efforts, and a
digital transformation solution package called Service Catalog will be established
to support businesses.
The
business association also introduced two basic digital transformation packages,
the X-Starter (for start-ups) and X-SME (for SMEs), to be provided by reputed
members of the computer association.
Speaking
at a press conference held yesterday to announce the programme, HUBA
Chairman Chu Tien Dung stressed the importance of good infrastructure and
a legal framework for digital transformation.
Enterprises
have recognised the importance of technologies in their operations and
management, he said, adding that digital transformation will be the element to
help them improve their competitive capacity and develop sustainably.
Lam
Nguyen Hai Long, chairman of the computer association, said his association is
working with other business groups in the city to publish a catalogue of
IT products for enterprises’ digital transformation efforts.
He
recommended that the city should provide free IT infrastructure for SMEs,
and IT enterprises should offer digital transformation services at reduced
prices.
The
city should choose local enterprises to provide technologies for the
programme because similar projects are already being carried out by
IT enterprises in other provinces and cities, he added.
HCM City
aims to become a smart city with e-government, e-enterprises and an
electronic society by 2030, and set up a database by that year to assist
with this.
By
2030 it also aims to push all public services online
and provide them on multiple platforms, including mobile devices.
The
e-economy is expected to account for 40 percent of the city’s economy.
The
rate of individuals and enterprises having electronic accounts for payments
will exceed 85 percent.
To
obtain these goals, the city will strengthen communications and
improve the awareness of its workers, the public and enterprises and
create shared databases.
Experts
said the digital transformation would affect all areas of the economy
like health, education, transport, finance-banking, tourism, agriculture,
logistics, environment, and energy./.
