HUAWEI Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and AwanBiru Technology Bhd (Awantec) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to push the adoption of Huawei Cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) products and services in the public sector at both the federal and state levels.
The MoU will also drive the adoption towards products and services among Malaysian statutory bodies, government-linked companies (GLCs) and commercial organisations.
Under the MoU, Huawei will act as cloud and AI service rovider, offering its cloud products and services such as infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), software-as-a-service (SaaS), and anything-as-a-service (XaaS), while AWANTEC will act as a managed services partner and drive demand and adoption for Huawei’s products and services.
More specifically, both parties will collaborate on the following:
- Jointly develop Go-To-Market plans and strategies, while engaging with potential end-users and customers to understand their needs, and to propose solutions based on Huawei Cloud and AI offerings;
- Understanding Malaysia’s market demand for cloud products and customer requirements, especially among the Government sectors and industries; and
- Huawei to leverage its technical capabilities as a renowned hyper-scaler cloud and AI service provider to advise on cloud and AI technologies, and share global best practices for cloud adoption and migration.
“We will have the best talent and team and utilise the best technology in collaboration with our global partners to provide multi-cloud management services,” said Awantec president and group CEO Abu Hasan Ismail.
“This partnership will be judged by three things: How we work together as a team; the speed we hit the ground to take advantage of the new business landscape; and finally, how successful we are in transforming our customers’ digitalisation ambitions,” he added. – Jan 6, 2021
