I have used EXCEL Brothers for nearly two years
and have been very satisfied with their work. I'm developing a complex business application
using the full spectrum of Microsoft technologies, and EXCEL Brothers has been able to
handle all aspects of this development, including graphic design, html, C#/.NET,
and SQL server stored procedures. In addition, they are very easy to work with and
responsive to my needs. I can recommend them without hesitation as a great resource
for cost effective software development...

- 70% of 87M population under 30
- 220,000 university/college graduates a year
- Literacy rate more than 90%
- The government of Vietnam recognizes and promotes the importance of education and training
- The aforementioned 2006 GlobalServices article cited Ho Chi Minh's "significantly low attrition rate" and "strong labor pool" as two other reasons for the city's inclusion in its list of the top 50 outsourcing cities
- Competitive cost: 40% lower than China & India (neoIT, 2006)

- Political Stability
- Language: Unlike many Asian languages, Vietnamese uses the Latin alphabet, just as English does, which makes it relatively easy for Vietnamese speakers to learn English
