SNS Network Technology’s JOI for All Initiative Assisting Education Transformation

IPOH, Malaysia, Jun 12, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – SNS Network Technology Berhad, an ICT products, services and solutions provider, is happy to announce that the Group is contributing 1,000 laptops under the JOI for All project to assist students in Malaysia to access online educational tools as well as ensure that they familiarise themselves with technology.

Mr Ko Yun Hung, Managing Director of SNS; Dr Norisah Suhaili, Timbalan Ketua Pengarah Pendidikan
Malaysia Sektor Operasi Sekolah; YB. Puan Fadhlina Sidek, Menteri Pendidikan Malaysia;
and Encik Hardian Hadir, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Yayasan Didik Negara

The JOI for All project is part of the Group's countrywide initiative to provide ICT devices and solutions to schools as part of the Malaysian education system's digital transformation incorporating technology enabling students to better access learning tools and knowledge. The latest contribution was held under the auspices of the MADANI Education Roadshow platform.

The MADANI Education Roadshow under the Ministry of Education (MOE), organised by Yayasan Didik Negara, was launched in late March 2023 to foster ties with MOE staff as well as gather feedback and concerns from the education community on various issues related to the country's education system.

JOI is the Group's in-house brand of devices launched in 2014 and encompasses the JOI smart classroom framework launched in 2016 integrating a broad range of features to support effective teaching and learning, as well as enhance interaction and collaboration in educational institutions.

Managing Director of SNS, Ko Yun Hung noted that traditional teaching methods have been gradually changing as technology is adopted, with convenience and access to various educational tools and information bringing great benefits to teachers and students. "Through educational technology, students have access to educational resources that further enrich their learning experience. In addition, with the use of the internet, students can exchange knowledge and culture with other people from different backgrounds. This is a kind of experience that cannot be had in a book."

"As such, we believe that technology plays an important role in today's education. Especially in the 21st century, the ability to use technology wisely is one of the skills that future generations need to master. So, integrating technology with education is a useful way to equip students with computer literacy early on, and encourage them to think outside the box for innovation."

The latest round of the MADANI Education Roadshow was held in Alor Star, Kedah, and was attended by Minister of Education, YB. Puan Fadhlina Sidek, as well as other senior officials from MOE, community leaders, teachers and students.

Trelica Continues to Outperform SaaS Management Competition, Remains Independent and Self-Funded

CAMBERLEY, UK, Jun 9, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – For the second consecutive year, Trelica has been identified as an "outperformer" and "leader" in GigaOm's Radar for SaaS Management Platforms (SMPs). The emergent SMP market where Trelica operates addresses the cost, compliance and operational concerns of unchecked SaaS adoption in the modern enterprise. Analysts predict that 40% of organisations using multiple SaaS products will also utilise an SMP by 2027.

GigaOm Radar – SaaS Management
Positioning of 11 SaaS management platform vendors

The report, which covers 11 SMP vendors, positions Trelica as one of three industry "leaders" and one of just two industry "outperformers". With significant Venture Capital & Private Equity interest in the space – including several investors backing more than one SMP vendor – Trelica remains the only independent, self-funded vendor featured in the report.

Why Trelica's independence is important

"Trelica has a deep focus on quality in its core product, a sentiment confirmed by several of its users."

As an independent SMP vendor, Trelica is able to drive a technology roadmap and business strategy based on the needs of its customers, not the demands of investors. To deliver the greatest possible value, Trelica collaborates closely with customers to develop new features that are quickly integrated into the platform so all customers can begin to benefit. As noted in the GigaOm report, which incorporates Trelica user feedback from customer questionnaires, "Trelica has a deep focus on quality in its core product, a sentiment confirmed by several of its users."

About the report

The GigaOm Radar report, now in its second year, is still the only comprehensive SaaS Management Platform market review by an independent analyst. The report profiles and compares key vendors, equipping IT decision-makers with the information they need to select the best fit for their business and use case requirements.

Specifically, the report Iocates companies on two key axes: "maturity" and "innovation" based on evaluated criteria such as feature-richness, scalability, performance and total cost of ownership. Industry leaders are positioned in the innermost, dark gray circle of the GigaOm 'Radar'.

IT buyers expect breadth of functionality from SMPs

Reflecting market demand, the 'SaaS Management Platform' category label continues to be broad – encompassing a wide range of themes, from SaaS spend control and vendor management, to access compliance and automation of IT operations.

To be considered a "full-featured" SMP in the GigaOm report, vendors need to cover "SaaS financial operations (SaaSFinOps) to handle spend and contract renewal, as well as SaaS operations (SaaSOps) for user lifecycle and sensitive data management."

The report notes that "The expectation is that solutions that deliver a full-featured platform will see wider adoption, while those that do not will become niche providers."

Why was Trelica identified as a market outperformer?

Trelica is one of just two vendors offering an end-to-end platform with features for both SaaSFinOps and SaaSOps. This functional breadth supports an overall strategy "to provide a self-service operating platform that enables finance, purchasing, IT, and security to operate in a federated model while delivering target outcomes," notes the GigaOm report.

The vendor insights section of the report lists Trelica's key strengths vs. other providers who were evaluated. These include "end-to-end SMP features with a wide range of integrations, a content-rich application catalog, full visibility of spend, an innovative contract renewal module, and a user-friendly lifecycle management workflow solution."

Trelica's viewpoint: efficiency rules in a tough economic climate

The GigaOm report cites "On-time contract renewals with optimized entitlements aligned to application usage" and "Operational efficiencies and governance enabled by automated workflows" as key benefits of implementing a SaaS management platform.

As Iain McGhee, Co-Founder of Trelica, notes, "Being bootstrapped, we understand that operating a lean, sustainable business has never been more important. We're here to help IT teams simplify their SaaS usage and lead the charge on operational efficiency."

DCCI marked a new era for Malaysia’s datacentre & cloud ecosystem

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, June 2, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – With Malaysian government envisioning a technology driven nation, especially to secure an influential position amidst Industry 4.0, the need for an enabling Datacentre (DC) & Cloud ecosystem has become second to none.

While digital industries are proliferating exponentially in Malaysia, the situation is primarily banking on a stable DC & Cloud ecosystem to fuel that demand. It’s quite evident that it calls for the public and private sector to work closely and come up with a framework that can support all the next-gen DC & Cloud solutions. To enable the same and promote the overall growth of the industry, Datacentre & Cloud Infrastructure Summit (DCCI) made its entry to Malaysia for the second time on 16 – 17 May 2023 in Kuala Lumpur.

Expressing his opinion on the summit, Shamsul Izhan Bin Abdul Majid (Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission) said, “It has been a vibrant summit with familiar faces and industry players looking at new opportunities. It is a space for professionals to connect & network with each other.”

Numerous leading organisations took part in the initiative and participated extensively to share their expertise on some of the very central and highly advanced topics, along with showcasing their cutting-edge products exclusively made for all industries to level up their interaction with DC & Cloud. The stellar line-up of exhibitors included Veeam, Hitachi Vantara, Huawei, GreenBay CES, Cohesity, BMC, Kumpulan Abex Sdn Bhd (KABEX), Equinix, EdgeConneX, Cloudian, Cato Networks, Advanced Network Solutions Sdn Bhd, Sangfor Technologies and OceanBase Database.

While the above mentioned private organisations went all out with their efforts to provide DC & Cloud solutions to the other seeking companies, public bodies like Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), MyDIGITAL Corporation – Ministry of Economy, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, CyberSecurity Malaysia, KWAP, PLANMalaysia and Ministry of Health imparted the latest intel on the most pressing topics through their top-grade officials.

The Chief Executive Officer of MyDIGITAL Corporation, Ministry of Economy, Fabian Bigar raised a very important subject which got everyone thinking, “Datacentres essentially drive the digital transformation but apart from that, there are two areas that we are looking at – energy transition and digital transformation. Since datacentres consume high energy, they intersect between both digital transformation & energy transition. So, we think this is a very important discussion that we need to have currently.”

He also commented on the event platform, “Crowd has grown tremendously compared to last year. Really good speaker line-up with government & private sector, regulators and government promotion agencies. I think it is a good mix.”

The two-day summit attracted 500+ delegates from 200+ leading public and private enterprises across Malaysia to become the most powerful and influential congregation in the country for DC & Cloud, with all its major personalities under one roof.

Talking about the phenomenal response from the delegates, Eric Lim (General Manager – APAC, Oceanbase) stated, “It is overwhelming. We are extremely happy with the enthusiastic questions that have come our way. Many attendees have come forward with the digital transformation challenges that they are facing and we see that there’s a lot of value that we can add to help them in this application and infrastructure modernization journey.”

The conference agenda was very compelling and covered some highly insightful topics like ‘Hybrid Cloud Approaches with Intelligent Data Services’, ‘Green Data Centre Solutions for Decarbonising Data Centre’, ‘ServiceOps in Action’, ‘Data Centre roles in Smart City environment’, ‘The Hypernet of Things: Amalgamation of AI, 5G, IoT & Cloud’, ‘Leveraging Cloud Platforms for Supporting Enterprises in Disaster Recovery Plans’ and many others.

Participating as a speaker at DCCI for the very first time, the General Manager for Enterprise Architecture at Petronas, Marzuki Kamaruzaman expressed, “This is my first datacentre & cloud event in Malaysia and I am really impressed. I am hoping we can have more such events not just in Kuala Lumpur but also in other key regions.”

All in all, the summit was successful in driving a progressive interaction between the key industry stakeholders and enabled fruitful collaborations that can work towards the building the new era of Datacentre & Cloud in Malaysia.

Both Kippy and Datamars aspire to the same vision, and we are both passionate about combining our capabilities and strengths to continue to develop and deliver genuinely valuable solutions to pet owners," says Della Libera.
