HA NOI (Biz Hub) — Microsoft Vietnam and its partners on June 11 introduced new technology trends and updated technological achievements for non-profit organisations (NGOs) in Viet Nam at its annual NGO Connection Day.

With the approach to and execution of solutions and device platforms such as the Windows operating system and Windows Server, NGOs can reduce costs and time by investing in IT and focusing their resources to help resolve current global challenges.

"Microsoft's support for the NGO community in Viet Nam will be used to accelerate IT deployment and improve skills and productivity, helping the NGOs manage IT governance more effectively. Hence, the NGOs' staff can focus their resources on supporting the community and helping the Vietnamese people connect with better opportunities and an improved lifestyle," said Vu Minh Tri, Microsoft Vietnam's General Director.

The event, organised by Microsoft and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is one of several global Microsoft initiatives adopted in 2005. It aims to raise awareness among NGOs about the benefits of technology and ways of achieving optimum benefits when deploying IT resources in an NGO. It also aims to help NGOs enhance the efficiency of their operations.

In Viet Nam, Microsoft has donated its software to more than 100 organisations, for a total value of approximately US$12 million, since July 2014. — VNS
