FPT Software is part of FPT Corporation , a global leading technology and IT services group headquartered in Vietnam .

While many new ideas may come from the EU , Asia provides an ideal testing ground to trial concepts . Regulation is more flexible with the freedom to explore solutions ; people are open to new ideas and ways of thinking .
As a software business , FPT has not only assisted its customers with technical implementations but also helped them bring innovative ideas to life . Asian firms have found they can act as the bridge between Europe and Asia in many digital initiatives .
One of the challenges facing the UK and Europe is a dearth of resources in emerging technologies . A digital talent shortage has forced service providers to step in to plug up some of the gaps while in-house teams are being hastily expanded to cope with the workloads .
Companies that have previously relied on their offshore delivery centers or captives are now trailing behind with many of their Digital Transformation projects .
Endemic across all industries the fallout has meant some are reconsidering their service delivery location strategies ( part of Business Continuity and disastermitigation planning ) to rebalance some of the risks .
