Happy New Year from Lotus

The new year is an excellent time to reorganize and work toward your life goals. It’s that time of year when we’re reminded that, even if we didn’t achieve enough in the previous year, there’s still a lot more to do in life, and new opportunities will undoubtedly present themselves in the next 365 days.

What Lotus aims at in 2022

2022 will be a very important milestone in deciding whether we could thrive to become one of the best IT outsourcing companies in Vietnam. In this year, strategic steps will be taken to achieve this goal:

  • The birth of Lotus Academy to strengthen our talent pool and human resources
  • The opening of many other services in the IT industry
  • The desire to scale our company to 1000 staff by the end of the year.

While the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet won, with a vaccine in sight, there is at least a faint light at the end of the tunnel—along with the hope that another train isn’t heading our way.

2021 will be the year of transition. Barring any unexpected catastrophes, individuals, businesses, and society can start to look forward to shaping their futures rather than just grinding through the present. The next normal is going to be different. It will not mean going back to the conditions that prevailed in 2019. Indeed, just as the terms “prewar” and “postwar” are commonly used to describe the 20th century, generations to come will likely discuss the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 eras.

During this hard time, Lotus stumbled upon many difficulties as we were struck with the second outburst of Covid-19 in Hanoi, resulting in most of our employees having to work from home. Despite all that, our staff has worked nonstop to ensure the highest quality possible in each and every of our delivery.

In this year of the Tiger, Lotus holds up great plans and great opportunities to thrive, making us the trusted partners of business in all over the world.

This is stated in the e-Conomy SEA 2021 Report, which was released this week by Temasek, Google, and management consulting firm Bain & Company.

As a result, the Vietnamese internet economy could reach US$220 billion in Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) by 2030, placing it second only to Indonesia.

This is encouraging in light of the shrinking online travel market. If current trends continue, Vietnam’s GMV is expected to reach $57 billion by 2025.

The Vietnamese digital economy

The report also stated that since COVID-19 was reintroduced in the first half of this year, the country has added 8 million digital consumers, with non-metro areas accounting for more than half of the total.

Notably, 99 percent of these new consumers expressed a desire to continue using online services after the pandemic, indicating a very high level of user adoption of digital services and products in our country.

Thirty percent of digital merchants believe that without digital platforms, they would not have survived the pandemic.

Digital financial services are also becoming critical enablers, with 98% of digital merchants now accepting digital payments and 72% using digital lending solutions. Many are also embracing digital tools to engage with their customers, with 72% planning to increase their use of digital marketing tools over the next five years.

Vietnam as an innovation hub

According to the report, Vietnam remains an appealing innovation hub as global capital continues to pour in.

Investments and deals reached a record high of $1.37 billion in the first half of 2021, surpassing full-year investments in recent years, fueled by investment interest in digital start-ups in the fields of e-commerce, fintech, healthtech, and edtech.

In terms of Southeast Asia, the report states that the region is on track to become a digital economy with a GMV of US$1 trillion by 2030.

More than 440 million internet users, including 350 million digital consumers in the region, are the primary drivers of this.

Southeast Asia has added 60 million new digital consumers since the outbreak began, with 20 million joining in the first half of this year.

Southeast Asian digital consumers have increased their spending on online services as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a result, Southeast Asia’s GMV is expected to reach $174 billion by the end of the year, rising to $360 billion by 2025, exceeding the previous estimate of $300 billion.

2. Frequently outsourced functions

According to a study from Mordor Intelligence, it is suggested that Application Development and Maintenance have become the most frequently outsourced functions amidst the partial IT outsourcing trends.

For application development, which is the most frequently outsourced function, 37% of organizations that outsource this function are planning to increase the amount of work they outsource. Application development continues to take larger parts of the IT budget, and many IT organizations are looking to optimize internal staffing through the selective use of outside development firms.

Maintenance ranks the second most frequently outsourced IT functions, as many businesses now need the most updated technology and flawless operations on their application. As a result, maintenance comes in and brings about many benefits such as Bug Fixation, Capability Enhancement, Performance Improvement, Scalability and security.

 

3. Sectors to outsource to most

BFSI (Banking, financial services and insurance) is the sector that accounts for the largest market share of the IT Outsourcing industry.

As modern customers are now more demanding in how the services are delivered to them, businesses in the BFSI sector have come to technological applications for a more personalized and streamlined customer experience.

Moreover, the implementation of technology in customer experience not only provides top-notch customer service but also gives the businesses the tool to harness and mine the data from their customers, bringing about the great potential for business growth.

Other sectors that make the list is Healthcare, Shipping & Transportation, Retail & Manufacturing.

 

4. What countries to outsource the most

As the pandemic accelerated global businesses, companies are making every effort to implement digitalization into their operations. Among the developed countries, the US, which has a mature economy, is leading in the number of outsourced services in the world, with 68% of companies delegating their services.

Ranks second in this is the UK, with 48% of companies are outsourcing offshore with talent shortage as the main factor.

Since the cost to hire a competent IT worker in these developed countries is very high, the need to come to cheaper countries is higher, hence the majority of countries that outsource the most lie in the developed countries. Another country to make to list is Japan, with 43% of companies outsourcing their services.

 

5. Global IT outsourcing destinations

India and China are leading the outsourcing bandwagon, followed by Indonesia, Malaysia, Belarus, the Philippines and Vietnam due to their cheap labor and operating costs. Especially in Vietnam, IT Outsourcing in Vietnam has emerged with $11.0B in revenue (according to a report by the Vietnam Software and IT Services Association). Vietnam also ranked 9th in Tholon’s Top 50 Digital Nations. The total ICT export is reported to be $91.5B, bringing $3.5B of software export turnover. This number is predicted to grow more in 2022.

While these destinations will continue to grow sustainably, Eastern and Western Europe have emerged as credible outsourcing destinations in recent years. A few other Eastern European countries are fast-growing destinations for offshore IT solutions due to advanced technology and robust infrastructure.

Upcoming trends of the IT Outsourcing market

1. Remote work continues

Although the pandemic is receding, there’s little sign of working practices returning to pre-COVID ‘normal.’ And while it’s here to stay, remote working might not continue in the same way.

In the UK, for example, 36% of employees did some work at home in 2020 – up 9% in 2019. In the US, where only 7% of employees could regularly work from home before the pandemic, 36% said they did some telework because of it.

It’s impossible to say definitively what the coming year will hold, but the steps organizations are taking give us an idea of what’s to come. Several high-profile organizations have enthusiastically embraced remote working, and like it so much they’re making it the default setting.

  • US insurer Nationwide has announced plans to reduce its 20 offices to four
  • In 2020, Shopify announced that it is a ‘digital by default company’ and that most of its staff will permanently work remotely
  • Dropbox is becoming a virtual-first company, with remote work being the default
  • LinkedIn will allow people to choose full-time remote work or a hybrid option

 

2. South-east Asia as the top destination for IT outsourcing

As most of the top destinations for IT Outsourcing in the world such as Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam are in Southeast Asia, this region will be the

To demonstrate just how attractive these markets are, the 2017 A.T. Kearney Global Services Location Index ranked the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam in the top ten for outsourcing in the business environment, financial attractiveness, people skills, and availability of workforce.

 

3. Positions to be outsourced

Overall, software development will be of higher demand, with Back End developers, Front End developers, Full Stack Developers, Mobile Developers, QA Testers and UX/UI Developers being the most sought-after. However, the key technologies needed will be in Cloud computing, Blockchain, and Cybersecurity.

  • Cloud computing: In 2018 alone, companies invested approximately $ 175.8 billion in cloud computing infrastructure and services worldwide, more and more jobs in Cloud technology will be in demand.
  • Blockchain: This technology has been around for years, but it was Bitcoin that brought the idea to mainstream attention when this cryptocurrency became the first to use the blockchain as its underlying platform.

4. Outsourcing has been overshadowed by the prioritization of new technological advances.

Based on a recent McKinsey report on technology transformations, just 10 percent of respondents identified cost reduction as a priority. Meanwhile, 38% prioritize innovating technology to make it a competitive advantage.

The shift to prioritizing value over cost efficiencies from third-party services has accelerated the evolution toward a highly outsourced IT environment.

Lotus Group – Looking back our journey

Founded on October the 18th, 2016, Lotus Group sets the vision for becoming one of the top IT service providers working with domestic and international clients. Throughout the last five years, Lotus Group has always pursued the mission of elevating and connecting Vietnamese IT engineers to international clients, hence contributing to affirming Vietnam’s position on the world’s technology map.

Our journey started with the foundation of Lotus Quality Assurance, the first independent quality assurance company in Vietnam. Developed by the most talented and experienced QA engineers, Lotus QA has always been one of the key services, making Lotus’ name and position stronger in Vietnam’s IT market.

With Lotus TS, we specialize in providing data labeling, data annotation and software development outsourcing services.

As we saw the great potential in partnering with Japanese clients, Lotus Group established the Lotus Japan office in October 2020 with the desire to support our clients more quickly despite facing many difficulties amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Motivated by the desire of bringing Vietnamese IT engineers to the global market, our Board of Directors has been working tirelessly to expand our reach and our resources. The plan for future establishments in major markets including Korea, the US, Singapore has been conceived and is soon to be carried out in the years coming.

Starting the journey in 2016 with only 12 members, Lotus Group now has 236 employees and still growing in personnel scale with an average growth rate of 45% per year.

The growth in the number of staff not only strengthens Lotus’ prestige and reputation but also contributes to bringing more development opportunities for humans of Lotus.

It can be said that Lotus has been gradually improving in all aspects of organizational structure, quality, personnel and environment.

PV member: 1 word about Lotus

However, there is no bed of roses. To be able to achieve these results, Lotus has also gone through many ups and downs, hardships and challenges. Under the leadership of our BOD, Lotus has constantly overcome difficulties.

On the occasion of Lotus’ 5th birthday, each member of the company has different thoughts and feelings, but they all share the same purpose for strong development in the future.

Going through the first 5-year journey, despite many ups and downs, Lotus is proud to always maintain the spirit of a fighter, always ready to face new challenges. Our journey ahead is sure to be full of difficulties, but Lotus Group believes that with the youth, perseverance and solidarity of all members, all difficulties and challenges will make us more mature and stronger, earning us the title of Amazing Lotus.

From a minor IT company in Hanoi, Lotus QA now has over 248 employees, raised by 20% compared to last year’s number.

 

International recognition

In an attempt to stand out in hundreds of IT service providers in the world, Lotus QA is trying to bring our best service offerings to as many clients as possible, beckoning those in need of high-quality work to come to us. With hard work and continuous improvements, Lotus QA has been recognized in the international market.

In September 2021, Lotus QA was honored to receive the title of Top IT firm in Vietnam. This title is the “Trophy” for what we’ve achieved throughout the last five years, and it also sets many more challenges for us to overcome to live up to the expectations.

 

The challenges to overcome

Despite the Covid 19 pandemic, we have successfully established our first subsidiary in Japan – Lotus Japan (LJP). Choosing the land of the rising sun as our next destination, we aim to deepen our understanding of international clients; while also learning from the strict quality regulations.

Other than amplifying our international presence, LQA also decided to spend more effort on the domestic market. So far, we have worked with leading clients in Vietnam from several fields: telecommunications, F&B, and insurance, etc.

We are trying hard to win in our home country, to be the number one QA firm in Vietnam.

To emphasize our goal, our CEO, Ms. Phung Thanh Xuan indicated: “As we are heading towards the new normal, the time could be the hardest for everyone. However, we are all in this together. We strive to become a world-class Quality Assurance Firm”.

Let’s celebrate this fascinating moment with Lotus Group in the upcoming events to be revealed.
