Vietnam to go Open Source

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

The Vietnamese government has just announced it will widely adopt Open Source Software. An instruction has been published and says that, by june 30th of this year, all servers of internal IT divisions must be equipped with Open Source software. Simultaneously, a project has been unveiled to invest VND38 billion (US$2.23 million) to upgrade the current government website into a portal from now to 2010. Focus will be given on exchanging dematerialized documents between government and agencies (G2G), government and citizens (G2C), government and business (G2B).

This strong commitment will undoubtedly snowball in the IT trends of Vietnam, a country that counts 86M people and plans to increase its GDP by 6.5% next year, despite the global downturn. eXo Platform has been initially cofounded both in France and Vietnam, hence its strong presence in that country. The South East Asia branch now employs 55 developers, which makes eXo one of the major Open Source projects “made in Vietnam”. Partnerships have been engaged recently with IT partners.

eXo Portal, Enterprise Content Management and Collaborative solutions, based on the maturity obtained in Western countries, are more than ever ready to address the domestic market.

The tools required for every one are included in the solution so no external tool is needed. eXo WCM is one component of the eXo Suite and has been designed to be highly integrated with other eXo products if needed, as well as with other IT systems thanks to JSR 168 & 286 standards compliance. Moreover, eXo products now support the Google Gadgets standard to access a wide range of useful data and shared information.

They are able to publish automatically content from a wide range of communication tools, like blogs, websites, rss, social networks, wikis,… Collaborators can also add dynamic and innovative contents like Gadgets to their websites to make it more attractive.

Web designers can make professional websites relying on CSS and JavaScript and using media library that stores all medias created and that can be reused from a website to another. The layout, content and navigation can be edited on the fly. Web designers can edit existing website templates to create new ones matching their design needs and their company image.

Organizations can link eXo WCM with their information system by coupling the website content with their document management system. eXo WCM allows the organization to search, access and retrieve the documents (depending on the organization permissions policy) to then display them on the website.
