Research background IT product and service management is attached the prominence in business environment of today (Wan and Liang, 2012) Majority of companies is relying on computers and information technology systems to boost up the efficiency in operating their business activities through the accurate and secure information management It brings up the role of IT product service providers in harmonizing IT services and business (Bon, Picper and Veen, 2005) In the information-driven world, when applying systems or using IT products to exploit the power of information, the ultimate security and right methods of management and backup are raised as the top concern Vietnam is in the developing phase where the application of IT and information management functions within enterprises is still poor Most of Vietnamese companies, although have realized the increasing importance of IT application in value creation chain, the investment and implementation are lax due to the lacking of specialized knowledge or incomplete realization of IT product availability According to the Vietnam E-commerce report 2013 (Ministry of Industry and Trade), there has been approximately 18% enterprises embedding ERP (Enterprises Resources Planning) software or 21% ones using SCM (Supply Chain Management) software in business administration Regarding to security measures, solutions applied have not been intense with measures of firewall (87%), anti-virus (84%) or hardware (45%) Another point to contemplate is that majority of Vietnam enterprises Payment methods Discount/
