Walking together in 2023 with Lao Viet bank in the database management field
Setting the next steady step for overseas markets, AT&A still connects with customers through the sharing difficulty culture. Together with Laos-Viet Bank to exploit foreign markets in Laos, AT&A sometimes is in supporting Lào Việt bank DBCare services even though the costs have not been received enough.
Up to now, the contract to monitor and optimize the ORACLE database system has been renewed yearly in usual.

CB Bank continues to share faith with AT&A in 2022
Among foreign customers, coming to CB bank is a pioneering step for AT&A in Myanmar.
Always keep “giving before receiving” spirit, the trust of customers’ banks has come to AT&A from the core-banking system upgrade project since 2016. AT&A has joined hands with customers in the difficult early days. To help customers get accurate information, it has saved a lot of license’s costs and reduced the risk of business interruption when upgrading the system. ORACLE Dbcare 24×7 services are implemented specifically according to the support method – remote control and online processing. However, service quality always meets the customer requirements even in difficult economic – political conditions.
The project has been re-signed for many years. The 2022-2023 contract is also being implemented with the consensus of both sides. AT&A leaders always appreciate the trust from customers and are grateful for the professional working spirit of the AT&A’s DBA staffs in this project.
