KUALA LUMPUR: Complete Human Network Sdn Bhd (CHN), one of Malaysia’s leading enterprise mobility solutions providers is kicking the second half of 2024 off with a bang, through entering a strategic partnership with the Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation (SDEC).
The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organisations marks a significant leap in fostering digital growth within Sarawak, in line with the Sarawak Government’s plan to become a global innovation hub by 2030.
The MoU was formalised in a ceremony attended by CHN Founder and CEO, Teh Chai Peng and SDEC Chief Operating Officer, Malseni Jamal. This collaboration reflects a shared vision of leveraging technology to drive Sarawak’s economic transformation, with a particular focus on establishing specialised tech development, cultivating local tech talent, and supporting sustainable digital initiatives.
By fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development, the centre aims to bridge the skills gap and prepare the Sarawakian workforce for the evolving demands of the tech industry. To this end, the centre will also offer comprehensive training programs and resources tailored to address the same.
“Our partnership with SDEC represents a critical step in empowering Sarawak’s tech ecosystem. We are dedicated to harnessing our expertise in enterprise mobility to develop a robust tech development infrastructure that nurtures local talent and supports the region’s digital aspirations,” Teh stated.
Both CHN and SDEC will be working closely with local communities and relevant stakeholders to ensure the investment in tech development delivers tangible benefits. This includes facilitating educational partnerships and outreach programs designed to inspire and engage local talent.
Meanwhile, Malseni re-emphasised the significance of community involvement in the initiative, saying, “Our partnership with CHN is a testament to our commitment to fostering an inclusive digital ecosystem in Sarawak. By engaging local stakeholders, we aim to create opportunities that drive economic growth and enhance the quality of life for our communities.”
To further enhance the progress in tech development, CHN and SDEC will collaborate on providing comprehensive technical support and services. This includes the management of hardware services, the integration of software solutions through CHN’s Enterprise Mobility as a Service framework, and the deployment of the Choose Your Own Device (CYOD) Portal.
By leveraging CHN’s expertise in Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) solutions that offers bundled IT devices and software services on a subscription basis, enabling enterprises to optimise their IT budgets, minimise IT-related hassles, and focus on their core business operations, the partnership aims to deliver innovative solutions that support Sarawak’s digital agenda.
Teh added, “This MoU signifies more than just a partnership; it represents a collective effort to shape the future of Sarawak’s digital landscape. We are excited to embark on this journey with SDEC and look forward to the positive impact this initiative will have on the region.”
This two-year partnership also builds on CHN’s extensive experience and successful collaborations with global and regional partners such as the Global Enterprise Mobility Alliance (GEMA) and COPE Private Equity (COPE). Notably, COPE’s investment in CHN highlights the company’s resilience and sustainable business model, positioning it among Malaysia’s leading enterprise mobility ESG providers.
