For the uninitiated, ASKPERT allows SMEs to offer consumers accurate, intuitive and easily accessible information on products before finalising their purchases in order to make informed decisions, essentially adopting the role of an informed and helpful source of product information. SMEs are also able to address user concerns via replying to consumer reviews.

Via digitalisation, consumers and SMEs alike benefit through cost savings, a simpler transaction process, less working time, reduced management costs and more efficient use of resources.

“We are committed to providing reliable, secure, and cost-effective Cloud services to empower applications, harness the power of data, and help organisations of all sizes grow in today’s intelligent world. We are also grateful to Huawei Cloud for their commitment in bringing affordable, effective, and reliable Cloud services through technological innovation,” said Mr. Kiro Tan. 

“We firmly believe that with the availability of a platform such as ASKPERT, combined with Huawei Cloud’s expertise , we will be able to improve the awareness among SMEs on the latest digital trends, thereby expanding the range of market scopes,” Mr. Kiro added. 

“Today, Cloud has become the cornerstone of today’s intelligent world. This has forced not only SMEs, but industries across the board to relook, rethink and restrategise their operational efficiencies in order to stay relevant and to thrive,” Mr. Lim said, adding that SMEs play a crucial role in the economy, and that as a global economy leader, Huawei believes that it is the company’s duty to use its technological expertise and resources such as 5G, Cloud and Big Data to drive digital transformation among local businesses. 

“Huawei remains committed towards driving digital growth among SMEs for the benefit of both businesses and consumers, while supporting the Malaysian government’s vision to digitally transform the sector. This collaboration with VITAMEDIA will leverage Huawei’s technology to improve accessibility to infotainment content and in doing so, enrich consumers’ lives,” Mr. Lim said.
