| Abstract | In accordance with the commitment to WTO, Vietnam has to open the financial market
gradually for foreign financial institutions from April 2007 and completely open the market
commencing of early 2010. For the Vietnamese commercial banks, this is a major change
because they will face strongly with competition from banks with high level of management
and high technology.
All Vietnamese commercial banks including Vietcombank have to restructure effectively and
strongly invest in the development of IT system for supporting business activities and
management.
At the Vietcombank, the responsibility to develop IT for supporting business activities has
assigned to the IT department of Head Office. However, this department is not assigned to
manage all issues which are related to IT. This leads to the IT department not performing
effectively. Improvement of IT department is considered as a necessary requirement. The IT
department at the HO should be rearranged and upgraded to an IT Center joining with
Technology Project Management department (TPD), a small IT-related unit at HO. It will be
empowered. The Center will have key role to implement comprehensive IT services for all of
Vietcombank’s businesses professionally. |
