Case Study: Minh Long achieves global expansion and improved productivity with Microsoft Azure

Leading Vietnamese ceramics manufacturer goes global through digital transformation

Minh Long I Co. Ltd. is a leading Vietnamese ceramics designer and manufacturer with 2,000+ employees serving markets in France, Japan and the U.S. As the company expanded toward multinational operations, its legacy IT environment began to show cracks: disparate email and collaboration tools, cost-inefficient on‑premises servers and third‑party ERP, and an aging Microsoft Access database that could not handle growing data needs. Minh Long needed a secure, scalable information-management platform to improve productivity and support global growth.

Minh Long adopted Microsoft Office 365 for synchronized email and collaboration, built a custom ERP using Visual Studio and the .NET framework, and moved toward Azure cloud hosting while replacing Access with Microsoft SQL Server. The changes delivered 100% email synchronization and mobile access, more secure and cost‑effective ERP operation, reduced CAPEX, faster access to key data, fewer human errors and measurable improvements in operational and manufacturing efficiency—positioning the company for continued international expansion.
