Following our previous article, VietNamNet presents part two about businesses that have elevated Vietnam's ICT sector. These companies have played a pivotal role in driving the growth of the sector, contributing to Vietnam’s transformation into an economic powerhouse.

Vietnam Post: ensuring physical and digital connectivity

For 80 years, Vietnam Post has been a cornerstone of national development, establishing itself as the leading national postal enterprise and a trusted partner for citizens, businesses, and government authorities.

Throughout this journey, Vietnam Post has continuously innovated, ensuring the smooth flow of both physical goods and digital services, fostering community connection and service.

Aligned with the trends of the new economy era, Vietnam Post is transitioning from a traditional postal service to a digital technology enterprise in the postal, logistics, and e-commerce sectors.

This transition provides an efficient business and marketing platform that helps small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and local businesses engage in global supply chains, promoting Vietnamese products internationally.

With 80 years of development, Vietnam Post boasts a vast postal and logistics infrastructure, including over 13,000 service points, seven regional processing centers, 700 district-level centers, hundreds of thousands of square meters of warehouses, and tens of thousands of transport vehicles, connecting over 220 countries and territories.

As the designated provider of public postal services, Vietnam Post has ensured the uninterrupted flow of goods and essential services, even during challenging times like natural disasters and pandemics.

Vietnam Post is the only postal service enterprise involved in international postal organizations to which Vietnam belongs. The Universal Postal Union (UPU) has recognized it as one of the exemplary postal organizations for its active participation in postal projects.

The efforts of Vietnam Post in innovation and adaptation have been central in improving Vietnam's postal development index, raising it from level 6 to level 8, placing the country among those with well-developed postal systems.

Moreover, Vietnam Post's ASEAN Postal Cooperation initiative has contributed to a network of regional postal operations, further strengthening cross-border connections.

In the digital age, Vietnam Post’s extensive network remains the foundation for developing an efficient, fast, and professional ecosystem for postal and last-mile delivery services, offering high-quality logistics and mail delivery solutions.

This progress is a step toward realizing its mission of becoming an essential infrastructure provider for the nation and digital economy, especially in e-commerce.

VTC Corporation: from pioneering television to a digital platform provider

VTC Corporation, originally established as the Radio and Television Repair and Maintenance Enterprise in 1988, has undergone numerous transformations and challenges to become a pioneer in digital technology applications in program production and broadcast coverage.

VTC played a crucial role in expanding national television coverage, delivering the Party’s policies and government initiatives to remote, border, and island regions, thus enhancing cultural awareness and living standards for people across the country.

In 2003, VTC was transferred from Vietnam Television to the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications (now the Ministry of Information and Communications).

By 2010, the Ministry of Information and Communications transformed VTC into a state-owned corporation. During this phase, VTC’s focus shifted to multimedia communication, with television as its core activity.

After restructuring in 2013, VTC transitioned from a television-centric model to a focus on digital content services. VTC has been instrumental in developing Vietnam’s digital content industry and is a leading provider of Internet and mobile-based digital services.

VTC has also led the way in broadcasting high-definition television (HDTV) and digital terrestrial television (DVB-T), technologies which were widely adopted across Vietnam.

In 2024, VTC's products were recognized at the Vietnam Gameverse 2024 event, winning awards for "Best Vietnamese Mobile Game" and "Most Popular eSports Community."

Today, VTC is a leader in developing online education and training platforms, with two major platforms, VTC Edu and OneTouch, serving millions of users. In 2024, VTC Edu had 190,000 participants, and OneTouch achieved nearly 40 million visits.

MISA: Creating Made-in-Vietnam technology products for Vietnamese users

MISA Corporation was founded in 1994 with the goal of providing top-quality software to government agencies and organizations. After successfully launching its bank reporting software, MISA advanced its reputation in international markets.

The company’s early success with the MISA Mimosa accounting software, launched in 1996, led to widespread adoption across state-owned agencies from 1997 to 2001.

By the early 2000s, MISA had recognized the need to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam and began developing advanced software for accounting and business management.

From 2011 to 2017, MISA continually adapted to global technological advancements, integrating cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain into their software, enhancing customer experience and efficiency.

Since 2018, MISA has been at the forefront of building a digital Vietnam, providing Make-in-Vietnam solutions in e-government, digital economy, and digital society. MISA’s solutions have helped thousands of businesses and government agencies enhance productivity and streamline operations.

In 2024, MISA assisted nearly 3,000 companies in securing loans totaling over 10,000 billion VND through its MISA Lending platform. The company has also connected thousands of small businesses and individual entrepreneurs to professional accounting services through its MISA ASP platform.

MISA's digital tools have empowered over 2.6 million individual customers and played a pivotal role in promoting Vietnam’s digital citizen strategy.

For over 30 years, MISA has been a key contributor to the nationwide digital transformation, enhancing the IT landscape in Vietnam and driving the success of the country’s digital economy.
