Bao Minh Insurance moves to legal Microsoft software

Friday, May 23, 2008
The Bao Minh Insurance Joint Stock Corporation is set to have an information technology overhaul based on state-of-the-art Microsoft technology.

Bao Minh signed the upgrade deal with FPT Information Systems, a Microsoft partner and subsidiary of the Corporation for Financing and Promoting Technology (FPT), in Ho Chi Minh City on May 21.

FPT’s Ho Chi Minh City branch and Microsoft Vietnam will be responsible for the IT overhaul, making Bao Minh a national pioneer in implementing company-wide copyrighted software.

Microsoft Vietnam General Director Christopher Desriac applauded the company’s move to apply copyrighted software and said he hoped more local businesses will abide by the copyright law, thereby improving their international competitiveness.
