“The resilience of our TechFin business model is reflected by our enabling clients to shift from upfront capital expenditures to predictable subscription-based models by combining technology supply, financing and lifecycle management,” commented the group’s managing director/CEO Lim Kok Kwang.
“This positions ICT Zone Asia as a key enabler of Malaysia’s digital transformation journey, particularly as businesses prepare for the next wave of AI (artificial intelligence) adoption and the upcoming Windows 10 end-of-support cycle.”
Added Lim: “We’re strategically aligned to support enterprises and government agencies in refreshing their ICT infrastructure with AI-capable devices through our Everything-as-a-Service offerings.”
Looking ahead, ICT Zone Asia remains cautiously optimistic given demand for subscription-based ICT procurement is expected to stay strong as business organisations shift from upfront capital expenditures to long-term operating expenditure-driven models.
In this regard, the group’s TechFin solutions are well-positioned to capture this trend by offering fully integrated financing, supply and lifecycle services.
“With an order book of RM250.26 mil, a circular economy strategy and a solid balance sheet, ICT Zone Asia is confident of sustaining growth while contributing to Malaysia’s digital and sustainability agenda,” envisages Lim.
