Ha noi, Sep 14th, 2007 CT-IN: Building strong human resources

The breakthrough after privatisation

Before carrying out privatisation, CT-IN is only a small-sized business, focusing on both production and trading to ensure the stable development, and investment in human resources and technology for further development. Five years after the privatisation, CT-IN has so far affirmed its position in sectors: solutions-products-services for telecom integration and information technology; services of installation and mobile phone network integration for the country’s biggest GSM providers including Vinaphone and Mobifone. At the same time, with the advantage in technical skills, exploitation capacity and professional project management ability, CT-IN always takes the lead in providing CDMA mobile phone system integration services for mobile phone service providers such as S-Fone, EVN Telecom and Hanoi Telecom. Moreover, CT-IN has set development strategy to become a prestigious computing company in order to occupy the market share in core network equipment, host computer and software for ISPs.

In 2006, CT-IN’s service of installing telecommunication equipment saw an outstanding growth both in revenues and technical content. This was the first time the company signed a contract to provide in-all services including installation, network connection, and independent transfer (not depending on technical assistance of equipment provider). The contract marked the company’s growth in technical capacity, project organisation and implementation ability. CT-IN keeps its position as a major partner to carry out equipment installation and network connection service for foreign firms such as Motorola, Nec, Huawei, Ericsson, Nokia-Siemens at markets of VNP, VMS, HTC, EVNT. Especially, the company has implement the project of Viba Pasolink in-all installation at HT-Mobile network from design, installation to transfer, which has been highly appreciated in quality and professionalism by foreign partners and exploiters.

The company also achieved great success in IT sector in 2006. The software division (Csoft) worked with foreign partners and was highly appreciated by other firms. The software of managing information system AIS, which gained Sao Khue prize in 2007, has been applied in many companies, bringing in high revenue and profit to the company. Especially, the division of system integration (Cis) has accessed and grasped new technology, successfully carrying out a series of big projects such as “Dedicated data transmission network for the Party and state bodies in the first phase”; constructing core network for VDC Company; or distance training (meeting telecast) for staff, officials.

The implementation of big demanding projects has helped CT-IN’s technical staff become more confident and mature in work, and prepared to take part in next big projects. Hence, the company has affirmed its position on IT and telecom market, raising CT-IN trademark value.

After the privatisation, CT-IN’s revenues have sharply increased, from VND79 billion (US$4.9 million) in 2002 to up to VND158 billion (US$9.88 million) in late 2006, and estimated VND200 billion (US$12.5 million) in 2007.

In order to get these above result, CT-IN has succeeded in reorganising and improving the operation mechanism towards intensiveness and setting up subsidiaries including Telecom Technology Centre-Ctelecom, Mobile phone Network Integration Centre-Cmobile, NGN Technology Centre-Cnext, Telecom Test Centre-Ctest, and BCCS Postage Calculation and Customer Care Team. These changes are aimed to actively meet the development demand of the market, as well as keep pace with increasingly high demand of science and technology in telecommunication and computing sectors.

Focusing on developing human resource

One of the most important elements paid a great attention by CT-IN is developing human resource: training to improve professional skills for technical officials and professional officials. In 2006 alone, the company sent 49 turns of staff to study at training centres of Motorola, Siemens, Huawei, Ericsson, Nec and Cisco. In addition, CT-IN also places high importance on attracting talented people by salary and preferential policies, and always creates most favourable conditions for each individual to promote their ability in a stable working environment. Another important element is encouraging workers be creative and active in the work. The company highly appreciates technical initiatives and proper recommendations and will popularise them companywide. Individuals who are active in learning and improving specialist knowledge, professional capacity and management ability will be honoured.

On June 20, 2007, Nguyen Huu Hoa, the network consultancy expert of NGN Technology Centre-Cnext, returned from Sydney (Australia), brining with him the pride of being one of few Vietnamese people granted the certificate CCIE Routing&Switching, the highest and prestigious level of Cisco. The event that Nguyen Huu Hoa was granted CCIE certificate is the pride and of significance for CT-IN. It affirms that high IT qualification and practice knowledge and skill of CT-IN’s experts have met the international standard, creating more faith of clients in CT-IN’s products and services. This is also an important landmark for CT-IN’s effort to become Silver Parner of Cisco Systems in the near future.

In the fourth quarter of this year, Tan Tao International Telecom Joint Stock Company (ITA) and Telecom Technical Service Joint Stock Company (HTE), two companies jointly set up by CT-IN and Tan Tao Industrial Park Company & HT Mobile, are scheduled to be put into operation. The companies will provide telecom and computing services for industrial parks, urban area, buildings; and manage and operate telecom and computing networks. They will survey, consult in design, and build infrastructure of telecom-computing network, including fixed phone network, mobile phone network, transmission network and computing network. ITA and HTE will also provide spare parts and provision materials for the replacement and repair of equipments of fixed phone and wireless networks, including microwave transmission equipments, fibre transmission, switching system, login and mobile.

 In the period of 2007-2011, CT-IN will continue affirming its leading position in Vietnam’s market in telecom and information technology sectors.
