CMC Group has announced a restructuring of its Technology and Solutions Division, merging the consulting capabilities of CMC Consulting into CMC TS (CMC Technology and Solutions). As part of the change, CMC appointed Nguyen Hai Son as Acting General Director of CMC TS. The company said the move is intended to support its 2026–2030 strategy, with AI-X positioned as the core growth driver.
CMC TS will operate as the nucleus of the Technology and Solutions Division, serving as a hub that connects consulting, deployment, system integration, AI product development, and security. The merger of consulting capabilities from CMC Consulting is designed to create a closed capability chain spanning digital transformation and ERP consulting, technology infrastructure and digital platform design and deployment, and system security, operations, and optimization.
Under this model, CMC TS aims to act as a technology partner for enterprises end-to-end, from problem identification and roadmapping to implementation and impact measurement.
CMC said market demand is changing rapidly. Enterprises are no longer focused only on buying software, renting infrastructure, or implementing a single technology project. In AI-driven environments, customers increasingly require partners that can understand business problems, design suitable technology architecture, deploy at scale, and protect systems.
CMC TS will prioritize key customer segments including government, large enterprises, banking and finance, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, and industries with high AI transformation needs.
Following the merger, CMC TS will increase its charter capital to 350 billion dong and is expected to serve more than 20,000 enterprises nationwide.
At the announcement, Nguyen Trung Chính, Chairman of the Board and Executive Chairman of CMC, said: “Our goal is to become a global digital and AI technology group. In the CMC ecosystem, CMC TS plays a crucial role in leading AI transformation for enterprises.”
Nguyen Hai Son was appointed Acting General Director of CMC TS during the transition. CMC said he has more than 25 years of experience in IT, including leadership roles in software development, project management, transformation portfolio governance, and technology consulting at EVN, Harvey Nash, Techcombank, and Oracle Vietnam.
The reorganization also aims to position CMC TS as the hub for deploying CMC’s AI-X capabilities into real business problems. CMC said its focus includes programs to improve operational efficiency, governance, data exploitation, process automation, and competitive AI-enabled capabilities.
CMC described AI-X as extending beyond applying AI to isolated processes, integrating AI into infrastructure, data, platforms, products, operations, governance, and customer experience. The company outlined a timeline for AI-X development: from 2026–2028, it plans to build platforms, refine C-OpenAI, and launch key products; from 2028–2030, it will move into a scale-up phase to expand market share and strengthen domestic leadership; and from 2030 onward, it aims to market certain AI products, platforms, and service models internationally.
CMC said its 2026–2030 strategy is organized around five main business blocks: Digital Infrastructure; Technology & Solutions; New Technology – Strategic Technology; Global Business; and Education & Talent Development.
By 2030, CMC said it aims to be a global digital group leading AI transformation, with AI, Cloud, and Security as strategic technologies on an open platform. The company expects to increase the share of revenue from AI and core technology products and to create products with potential for regional and international expansion.
