KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian based digitisation company, Wilstech signed a Memorandum of Collaboration with global cloud service provider, Huawei Cloud to develop digital transformation solutions for franchises.
The collaboration will see Wilstech plan, consult, develop and implement joint opportunities and projects, allowing existing Huawei partners and customers to transition to tech-based solutions through the company's slew of digital offerings. Some of the services that will be provided include enterprise resource planning systems, web and mobile app development, network penetration tests, and more.
Wilstech's co-founder and chief executive officer, Wilson Low said that the company is honoured to have the opportunity to join hands with such an established organisation as it moves forward to providing better digitisation solutions to more businesses.
"Having already digitised over 168 SMEs, startups, and businesses, we are looking to keep the momentum going to grow the nation's economy in the long run, starting with this partnership. We believe that our expertise will prove invaluable for companies in the long run. Through this partnership, we are certain that we will improve the effectiveness and productivity of SMEs, startups, and enterprise organisations alike," said Low at the signing event.
Established in 2016, Wilstech has been hard at work in digitising Malaysia's SMEs and startups with tech-based solutions such as HR, accounting and CRM solutions, infrastructure and hardware services or software and mobile app development.
Despite external factors like encouragement from the government and the global pandemic necessitating the acceleration of digitisation efforts, the unfortunate reality is that there has been a lag in digital adoption among SMEs and startups.
In a statement shared by Wilstech, it stated that around 77 per cent of SMEs in Malaysia still remain at the basic digitalisation stage.
"It is always our goal at Huawei Cloud to dive into digitalisation and to provide Everything as a Service (XaaS). We will continue to innovate with local partners to offer cutting-edge technologies to support customers' digital transformation journey. The collaboration with Wilstech will see more cloud-based digital solutions made ready for the SMEs market in Malaysia," said Huawei Malaysia's vice president of the cloud and AI business, Lim Chee Siong.
The surge in demand for cloud technology and services are increasing and as a technology giant, the company offers services that include but are not limited to, Artificial Intelligence (AI), analytics, storage, and more. These offerings help streamline processes, increase performance and effectiveness while reducing overall costs.
Most recently, Wilstech collaborated with the Selangor Information Technology and Digital Economy Corporation (SIDEC) to provide a Selangor SME Digitisation Matching Grant to kick-start the digital transformation journeys of 200 local SMEs.
