The project steering committee and members of both parties
In 2019, FPT/FPT IS successfully implemented the SAP Business One project for CBF Pharmaceutical in Champasak Province, Laos. The two companies have fostered their effective cooperation through multiple ERP system upgrade, maintenance and development contracts executed by FPT/FPT IS for CBF.
28 years of continuous innovation and development affirms CBF Pharma’s position as one of the leading pharmaceutical enterprises in Laos. Established from the cooperation between Binh Dinh Province (Vietnam) and Champasak Province (Laos) in 1995, CBF Pharma has earned its spot as a prestigious brand and played its part in improving the quality of life of the Lao people.
The launch of the SAP Business One project for CBF’s four subsidiaries is a testament to FPT/FPT IS’s capability and reputation in the Lao market. FPT IS’s desire is to become a leading technology partner to co-create a strong digital ecosystem with Lao enterprises.
