Dear Colleague ,
Warm greetings from PIKOM (the National ICT Association of Malaysia) with the support of its founding partner, the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC).
PIKOM represents the local ICT industry, with members that cover the whole spectrum of ICT products and services in Malaysia. Together with MDeC, the government agency responsible for the national ICT initiative, MSC Malaysia, they share the same objectives in spearheading, promoting and developing programmes and activities to collectively grow the Malaysian ICT industry.
In line with our objectives, PIKOM will be hosting events in Sydney on 22 of June 2010 and Melbourne on 24th of June 2010 titled ‘Collaboration Through Cross Border Partnership To Go Global’.
This event is to promote strategic alliances and to cultivate partnerships that create synergy between companies of both our countries by leveraging on each others’ strengths.
The objective of the partnership between service providers is to raise our competitive level with the final aim to target third party locations. In Australia, PIKOM is working with the New South Wales (NSW) State Government, Victoria State Government, Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) & Australia Malaysia Business Council (AMBC).
The Malaysian Minister for Science Technology & Innovation, Datuk Seri Dr. Maximus Johnity Ongkili will be leading a trade mission of delegates consisting of heads and representatives of various companies from Malaysia. Consequently, this event will further strengthen diplomatic ties as well as the partnership and collaboration between government and corporations of both countries.
With this note, I would like to seek your assistance to disseminate this invitation to your members and affiliates. Kindly refer to the attached e-Invite to find out more about the event and programme.
For those who are interested to participate, e-mail for a copy of the Registration Form and submit the scanned copy to azreel@pikom.org.my or victor@pikom.org.my before 31 May 2010.
To further elaborate, this seminar creates vast opportunity for corporations looking to expand and optimize their business processes and support services, while maintaining a high level of service quality, better cost control and ability to scale. This also serves as a platform for both Malaysian & Australian Service Providers to formulate strategies to achieve mutual benefits and collectively target markets beyond Malaysia & Australia.
Among other items that will be discussed are:
- Government to Government partnership
- Smart Partnership Model’ between service providers
- ASEAN countries as the strategic delivery location for high value services
- The formula towards a wins for all parties
- Leveraging on Australia & Malaysia’s Historical Strong Ties
- Collaboration opportunities between Malaysia & Australia, including Shared Services, IT, and the Outsourcing (SSO) Sector
Besides the seminar, PIKOM will be conducting a Business-to-Business Meeting Session to provide networking opportunities between Australian Service Providers and OM’s delegates. This will gives the opportunity for both parties to explore the possibilities of establishing Smart Partnership.
