Tiivistelmä
The fourth technological revolution brings forth waves of innovative changes and challenges to many enterprises and governments. In order not to lag behind its peers, Vietnam is now shifting its focus towards the development of a digital economy and electronic government in an effort to digitalize itself on the national level. To achieve it, a digital ecology must be constructed to provide an environment for governments as well as businesses so that they can thrive. The solution is software development and in particular open-source software. Although the Vietnamese software market follows similar trends as the world, it still possesses distinguishable differences. Understanding these differences and being able to incorporate them into business activities is essential to guarantee a foreign firm’s success.
The aim of the study is to analyze the Vietnamese market in terms of current trends in open-source software development affecting the operation of Linagora – a service provider from France, and to identify opportunities for further development in Vietnam.
The study is comprised of qualitative research methods, interviews and first-hand experiences. Combined with the corporation’s capacity, recommendations are given.
