What SaoBacDau Technologies Group does

SaoBacDau Technologies Group (Công ty Cổ phần Công nghệ Sao Bắc Đẩu, ticker SBD) is a publicly listed Vietnamese IT services group founded in 1996 and headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, with regional offices in Hanoi, Da Nang, and Dong Nai. The company is one of Vietnam's longest-standing system integrators and operates across six core service pillars: (1) system integration covering storage, servers, virtualization, security, network infrastructure, and collaboration; (2) managed IT services including onsite engineers, ServiceDesk, server/storage/network/security management, maintenance, and data center leasing; (3) strategic smart-city solutions covering intelligent traffic, smart environment, smart agriculture, and digital government; (4) cloud computing (vCLOUD, Cloud VNN, vCDN, and cloud backup); (5) Enterprise 4.0 management software via the Hitek platform (education, service, construction management); and (6) IoT solutions built around the EasyLink Platform and downstream applications (Smart-Room Monitoring, Smart Museum, Smart Event, E-Parking, eGOV, V-TOS port management, warehouse drug monitoring, online medical appointment, voice bot, wifi marketing, SmartTourist, resident management). Three wholly-owned subsidiaries (SaoBacDau Telecom, Qi Technologies Corporation, and SBD Digital established in 2015) extend the delivery footprint. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and quotes are provided on direct request.

Revenue is generated through a mix of project-based system integration engagements, recurring managed services contracts, subscription-based cloud computing services, and subscription-based IoT and enterprise software offerings. The go-to-market is direct enterprise and government sales, with demand generated through co-organized technology workshops with global OEMs (Cisco, IBM, NetApp) and industry associations, earned media (VTV1 coverage), and a dedicated Vietnamese-language website. SaoBacDau holds Cisco Silver Partner status with Customer Satisfaction Excellence certification, is the first and only Cisco Cloud Master Builder Partner in Vietnam, and maintains a multi-tier vendor alliance portfolio (VMware, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, NetApp, HP, Palo Alto, Fortinet, F5, Citrix, Hitachi). Customers span government ministries, financial institutions, all major Vietnamese telecom operators (Viettel, VNPT, Mobifone, Vietnamobile), large manufacturers and consumer brands (Honda, Vinamilk, Trung Nguyen, TTC, Bayer), and media groups (CGV, HTV, VTV, VTC). The 2025 corporate rebrand and the 2026 launch of the CISCO SECURE AI FACTORY with Cisco at the Viettel DCCI Summit indicate an ongoing strategic pivot toward digital services and AI infrastructure distribution.
