VAON's CEO joins as consultant. We identify critical issues in your current system with radical sincerity.

VAON proposes System Development or AI & Automation. CEO directly oversees the project, with the core team handling delivery.
Mr. Dang Van Luan
Founder & CEO
• HEDSPI Graduate (Hanoi University of Science and Technology)
• Research intern at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT)
• 5 years building 10M+ user systems at Digital Plus (Japan)
• COO managing 120-person org to ISO 9001/27001 standards (8 years)

Not "finish the task" thinking, but "own the product" thinking.
Mr. Vu Duc Dat
Co-Founder & COO
• 12+ years experience, managing up to 27 projects simultaneously
• PMP, CISSP, AWS Professional certified
• Operates by HouRenSou; communicates directly in Japanese with the client team
Stable delivery comes from the right process, operational discipline, and continuous improvement.
Before Consulting:
• Construction client, internal IT lacking personnel
• Domestic outsourcing + freelancers: inconsistent quality, high costs
• When expanding: coordinating resources is time-consuming
VAON's proposal:
• Current state audit → discovering operational bottlenecks + hidden costs
• Proposed a controlled offshore model + Resident BrSE
• 4-stage roadmap: Grasping business → Standardization → Improvement → Scaling
30% cost reduction compared to domestic development
20% faster response time
