In Vietnam, forward‑thinking enterprises are no longer debating the question “Should we adopt AI?” but to focus on “How can we use it as a strategic advantage?”.
We are living in an era where AI can optimize supply chains, automate decision-making, and personalize customer engagement at scale. Cloud platforms, data ecosystems, and collaboration tools now allow even mid-sized firms to think globally. And yet, many organizations still treat technology as an afterthought, a department, or worse, a cost center.
AI Won’t Save Your Business… If The Mindset Stays Outdated.
Technology must now sit at the strategy table. That’s the true differentiator of companies undergoing real transformation. More than just a tool, technology serves as a lens through which a leader’s ability to understand, run, and grow their organization is revealed.
Most businesses are chasing speed, adding new tools, boosting output, launching initiatives, yet lacking true direction. In reality, growth doesn’t come from doing more, but from doing what matters. Your system shouldn’t just serve you, it should think with you.
Real scale doesn’t come from doing more or just doing faster. In digital transformation, speed means nothing if you're not heading the right way.
As a leader in driving profound digital transformations for over two decades, Gradion (formerly NFQ Asia & NFQ Solutions) believes Vietnam is well-positioned to lead this next wave of change. But only if businesses anchor their scaling efforts in the right systems, the right strategy, and most of all, the right mindset.
If You’re Leading The Future, Are You Asking The Right Questions?
AI has changed the rules of transformation. What worked before no longer applies. If you’re a business leader aiming to scale in this digital era, it’s time to ask some hard and necessary questions.
- Are you scaling reach, revenue, or relevance?
- Is your tech strategy a mirror of your ambition?
- Are you scaling clarity, or just adding complexity?
- Are your people leaning in, or bracing for impact?
Transformation isn’t about adding more, but about choosing better. And the future won’t wait.
What Does Success Look Like?
Defining success in today's business landscape has changed dramatically. It’s no longer just about expanding headcount, opening more offices, or stacking up more tools. Growth isn’t measured by how much you add, but by how smartly you scale.
At Gradion, we believe that modern scaling boils down to one of two outcomes: Earn more or Save more. Sometimes, it’s both.
That means you are:
- Unlocking new revenue streams.
- Redesigning operations for efficiency.
- Architecting systems that grow with you, not around you.
But a meaningful scale doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when execution is aligned with a clear mindset, one that blends empathy, precision, and ownership. To do that sustainably, we focus on three foundational pillars:
Business
Too often, businesses chase scale without asking what it’s really for. That’s why our work begins with clarity of purpose, what you aim to achieve, and the value it will create.
Recognized as Vietnam’s Best IT Company for 7 consecutive years (itviec.com), Gradion was built with a commitment to impact. We're small enough to care deeply about every client’s ambition, yet big enough to move complex systems and industries. This balance allows us to partner closely with clients, while still delivering with scale, speed, and precision.
People
No transformation is successful without adoption, and adoption starts with people. That’s why we put human experience at the heart of every solution we build.
We bring a mindset that’s both Human-centered and AI-wired. Our strategies blend empathy and intelligence, ensuring that technological advancement is never detached from organizational readiness. Whether it's leading change management, aligning leadership, or enabling teams, we treat transformation as a cultural shift, not just a technical one. Because at the end of the day, systems don’t scale. People do.
Technology
Technology is the backbone of scale, but only when it’s built with intention. At Gradion, we design architectures that are as strategic as they are scalable. That starts with data infrastructures that inform decisions, not just dashboards.
We don’t treat technology as a set of tools. We see it as a living system, one that must grow with your business, adapt to your context, and quietly power your next ten decisions without friction.
"Technology is no longer a support function. It's the language of strategy. Our role is to help businesses translate ambition into scalable systems, and decisions into sustainable growth” states Roberto Kauffmann, CEO of Gradion Vietnam & Thailand.
How Do You Effectively Turn Ambition Into Real Outcomes?
Digital scaling is not a solo journey. In a world of moving parts, vendors won’t get you there. You need a partner who sees the big picture and builds like it's theirs.
As a trusted technology & business partner, we stand beside you to understand your DNA, rethink your operating model, and apply deep‑tech expertise to create lasting value, drive performance, and enable sustainable growth. We believe real scale isn’t a launch moment, it’s a momentum you sustain. And strategy is what keeps it alive.
The results speak for themselves. Over the past 23 years operating at NFQ Group, we have:
- Turned ideas into market leaders: We delivered Alaiko's first platform version in just six months. Today, it's trusted by over 100 brands, demonstrating our capability to accelerate market entry and drive rapid growth.
- Powered long‑term growth for future giants: Many of our past clients are now unicorns or public companies, and the robust systems we built continue to run under the hood, a testament to the enduring value and strategic foresight embedded in our solutions.

- Enabled global expansion at scale: For companies like HomeToGo, we helped build a vacation rental engine with over 15 million listings and 100+ API integrations, enabling their global expansion and positioning them as market leaders.
Scaling isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what matters. With intention. With systems that last. And with a partner who’s walked this path before. If you’re ready to scale with purpose and power, Gradion is here to walk that journey with you.
