AT&T Rates Vietnam Next IT Outsourcing Hotspot
IITS collaborates with AT&T to analyze IT opportunities in Vietnam

RALEIGH, NC and HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM (September 1, 2006) - AT&T published a research study in collaboration with International IT Services (IITS) to highlight growing telecommunications and outsourcing opportunities in Vietnam. IITS, a leading software outsource development provider in Vietnam and United States , provided key information sources for the report. The study highlights opportunities in Vietnam for US telecommunications companies and technology companies seeking to leverage outsource development resources.

Key opportunities identified by AT&T include:
Vietnam’s track towards WTO membership, infrastructure investment and rapidly growing IT labor poor transformed it into a highly desirable location for high-tech and software development companies.

Vietnam has the lowest IT staff costs in the region; lower than India and China.
Every year, Vietnam produces 10,000 or more software and hardware engineers creating a viable market for IT talent.

Vietnamese graduates come from state but also from international universities, especially Australian universities, giving them strong technical and English language skills.
Multinationals can partner with existing outsource development companies that have offices in the US to bypass regulatory hurdles and set up operations quickly.

As Vietnam works with the US to join WTO, the opportunities for US high-tech companies in Vietnam will continue to grow. IITS is a US corporation with a subsidiary in Vietnam that has helped clients since 2001 leverage lower IT labor costs in Vietnam in a flexible outsource development partnership model.
