MESSAGE FROM
Chief Executive Officer
Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation
(MDEC)
The potential for improvements through the innovative use of technology is significant.
Implementation will require a transformational programme of change, not just
technological but also administrative and cultural. Successfully implemented, such a
programme promises enhanced quality of service as well as social and economic benefits.
More and more companies are adopting this strategic approach and, over the years,
Malaysia has proven to have the capabilities to cater for global ICT market demands.
The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) is actively driving the adoption of
innovative technologies across all industries. We are now in the age of disruptive
technologies, where anything is possible, and complete paradigm shifts can happen
overnight. As such, companies need to be prepared and adaptable in their respective
markets. Digital transformation is paramount towards the future of companies in all sectors,
as global markets digitise and grow significantly larger each year. As markets evolve, so too
shall these companies in their quest for global competitiveness.
The development of the ICT industry largely and directly depends on the export of ICT
products and services. The publication of the 2nd edition of the Malaysia Exporters of ICT
(Products and Related Services) Directory is a key tool to efficiently promote our ICT exports
as it gives detailed information on our ICT industry and its solution providers. I trust that the
directory will be a good platform to promote the expertise and know-how of the Malaysian
ICT industry and market the product and services of our ICT companies on the international
scene, significantly contributing to boosting the export of ICT products and services from
Malaysia.
e live in a disruptive world today wherein change
is the only constant.
Shifts in technology coupled with changes in people's
expectations of Information and Communications
Technology (ICT)-based services today require new
approaches across all markets. Global economic
conjuncture and the financial crisis situation compels us to
dedicate even more efforts towards consolidating our ICT
sector.
