CMC Global

What CMC Global does

CMC Global is the international-facing IT services and digital transformation arm of Vietnamese conglomerate CMC Corporation (founded 1993), spun out as a standalone entity in March 2017 and headquartered in Hanoi. It delivers end-to-end outsourcing across custom software development, software maintenance, application managed services, legacy migration, testing, cloud enablement (AWS, Azure, Google, Oracle, SAP), data analytics, RPA, low-code, and AI. Its proprietary product family — C-IVAMS (NIST Top 12 / #1 in Vietnam facial recognition), C-OCR, C-VOICE, C-CLS, C-CA digital signatures, C-ID Reader, CMC Chatbot, CMC Social Listening, and CMC SOC — sits alongside services revenue, and a 24/7 SOC operates under ISO/IEC 27035-aligned standards, CMMI Level 5, ISO 27001, and ISO 9001 certifications.

The company monetizes through four engagement models (project-based fixed price, staff augmentation, hybrid, and outcome/results-based), with named enterprise clients spanning Korean conglomerates (Samsung SDS — also a strategic shareholder — LGU+, KT, SKT, Naver, CJ, Amkor, Hanon Systems), Japanese firms (Honda, PowerNews, Envato, Northstar), and Vietnamese/international accounts (VPBank, oil & gas major, leading supermarket chain, fintech players). It maintains direct delivery entities in Vietnam (Hanoi, HCMC, Da Nang), Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, ~1,000 staff), Singapore (APAC HQ), Malaysia, Korea (Seoul, scaling to 3,000 by 2028), the US (Delaware with Country Director Scott Casselman), and Germany.

CMC Global's go-to-market combines enterprise field sales, alliance co-sell with AWS/Google/Microsoft/SAP/Salesforce/Oracle/Automation Anywhere, and targeted participation in Korea-Thailand-Vietnam government and industry forums. Strategic moves in 2025–2026 — the FuriosaAI AI co-development MOU, Google Agentspace designation, SAP PartnerEdge, Consessor AG DACH partnership, Silicon Tech Thailand MOU, and senior advisory additions from Goldman Sachs/American Express and 500 Global/Octant Ventures — indicate a shift from services-only toward AI-led, partnership-driven expansion under CMC Corporation's 'Accelerate Your AI-X' strategy.
