At his opening remarks, Mr. Trieu Duc Huy emphasized on the importance of digital transformation and the determination of the Government, MONRE and NAWAPI in the water sector and social economic development of Vietnam in general. According to Dr. Huy, the training session was considered an opportunity for the IT teams to present the technology solutions (Big Data, IoT) and obtain feedback to fine-tune the system currently under development. He especially called for cooperation from all the NAWAPI units to prepare the input data for ingestion into the system.

At the heart of the training, the digital transformation team presented the outcomes of the information technology infrastructure system, an overview of Big Data, its main functions and how to work with the system. An IoT solution in monitoring was also presented and received positive feedback from the participants.

In a nut shell, the training session was a milestone event to introduce the advantages of Big Data as well as to reemphasize the determination of NAWAPI to implement its digital transformation strategy. Quality discussions and constructive comments collected will be important for NAWAPI to achieve their digital transformation targets in the first phase of 2020-2025.
