Due to the ongoing pandemic, more Malaysians are now working from home and are more dependent on the usage of technology to maintain productivity levels. The local data traffic in Malaysia is expected to grow 5 to 10 percent year-to-year until 2025, according to the Malaysia Data Center Market Investment Analysis and Growth Opportunities 2020 – 2025 report. The report also revealed that Malaysia’s data center market is expected to reach revenues of over RM3.3 billion by 2025. Coupled with the government’s plan to improve connectivity nationwide with the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NCFP), it is timely for organisations to start optimizing their data centres to meet the increasing demand. 

It comes to no surprise when we hear organisations discuss their plans to enhance their data center infrastructure with technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and focus on automation to improve uptime while controlling costs -- all of which are important for companies to drive operational efficiency and business resiliency.

Documents, there’s no escaping them. We print them, scan them, store them and share them. Businesses run on the information contained in physical and digital documents. And this makes managing and securing documents a key consideration in every organisation’s digital transformation. 

While most organisations are adopting digital transformation initiatives significantly reducing the need for printed documents, paper documents remain an important part of daily operations. According to IDC, nearly three trillion pages will be printed in 2022. Organisations need to find a way to manage their paper documents and print infrastructure in a way that caters to business needs, while still transitioning to digital-based workflows.
