CEO Choo Wei Chuen said the listing exercise comes at an opportune time for the group to pursue the attractive growth opportunities ahead, as rapid technological shifts have accelerated the adoption of artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, Internet of things, and social and media computing.
“In line with these trends, demand for IT infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions will increase as enterprises need to ensure that the large volumes of data generated are transmitted and stored securely.

“By establishing a solid IT infrastructure and putting in the right technical resources, we can provide managed IT services to customers all over the world.” – Bernama
