KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — 11 October 2019 — NetApp is pleased by the government’s ongoing commitment towards boosting Malaysia’s growth in a new economy and digital era. The Budget 2020 announcements will play a pivotal role in ensuring the nation continues to advance along its path to digitalization.
We believe that initiatives for small-medium enterprises (SMEs) such as the provision of the 50% matching grant of up to RM5,000 per company to adopt digitalization measures for their business operations will have a positive impact on Malaysia’s digital economy. The government’s incentivization towards the greater implementation of these services, which are powered by data, is integral to digital transformation.
The shift to data-centric business models require solutions that will maximize the value that organizations can derive from data. NetApp’s cloud-connected flash solutions, an element of a Data Fabric strategy, provide the simplicity, operational efficiency and protection needed to support innovation, and we are committed to supporting Malaysian businesses in their transformation efforts.
NetApp applauds the government’s push to spur even greater technological adoption and accelerate our nation’s development, and we look forward to supporting this vision in line with Budget 2020.
