KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach - 30 November 2021 - ACASIA
Communications Sdn Bhd ("ACASIA"), a unique collaboration among seven (7)
leading telecommunications ("telco") providers, will accelerate the expansion
of global businesses into the ASEAN region, one of the fastest-growing regions
in the world, with its comprehensive suite of connectivity services and digital
infrastructure.
ACASIA's Chief Executive Officer, Mr M Satya Riayatsyah Syafruddin
Formed in 1995, the shareholders of ACASIA are among the seven leading
telcos in the region, namely Telekom Malaysia Berhad ("TM") in Malaysia,
Singtel in Singapore, National
Telecom in Thailand, Indosat Ooredoo in Indonesia, PLDT
in the Philippines, Nex.Us in Brunei and VNPT in Vietnam. These
seven players have a proven track record in the telco services provided in the
region.
With an established digital infrastructure in the region, ACASIA helps
global businesses to expand into ASEAN through a seamless process made possible
by the collaborations among its shareholders. ACASIA will serve as a service
aggregator for these global business operations that require presence in the
region.
ACASIA's Chief Executive Officer, Mr M Satya Riayatsyah Syafruddin,
said, "Given the potential in ASEAN as one of the fastest-growing regions in
the world, ACASIA serves as a one-stop solution for global businesses to
simplify its digital process and transformation. For example, a global business
that sets up its operation in Malaysia and looking to expand into the
Philippines, would need to set up its digital infrastructure and connectivity
in both countries. However, with ACASIA, we help to bridge these processes and
simplify the expansion plans into the region."
During the ASEAN Business and Investment Roundtable 2021 on Fintech and
Financial Literacy, leaders in the region have affirmed ASEAN as one of the
fastest-growing regions despite the COVID-19 crisis. While the region was among
the worst hit globally during the pandemic and suffered a supply-chain
bottleneck that persists currently, recovery is expected for ASEAN, the
fifth-largest economy in the world with a combined GDP of USD3.1 trillion in
2020.
"The growth potential is huge for ACASIA as we tap on the digital transformation
that has escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our existing infrastructure in
the region puts us in a strong position to offer valuable services for global
businesses that are expanding into the region," Satya said.
ACASIA's established presence in the region and its fully-equipped
infrastructure allows the company to offer a comprehensive suite of
connectivity services and digital infrastructure for global businesses. The
services offered will help to bridge the gaps in terms of business operations
and processes in the different countries in the region.
Other than accelerating the
expansion of global businesses into the region, ACASIA also offers ASEAN
companies to tap on its digital infrastructure to venture out of their
respective local economies.
Through this ecosystem and with their own points-of-presence in most
ASEAN countries, ACASIA acts as a single point of contact for all connectivity
services within ASEAN, giving power to businesses across the globe who are
looking to tap into the Southeast Asian region.
According to Satya, the shared collaborations in the ASEAN region also
offers data sovereignty for businesses and governments. ACASIA will ensure data
sovereignty by enabling data to reside in countries where data is collected,
unless approval is granted.
ACASIA solutions also offer access to private cloud computing
infrastructure, which would be vital for organisations that rely on public
cloud services for data storage and hosting. Given the increased awareness of
the importance of data privacy, this will help the shift into secured private
cloud storage and hosting.
"Infrastructure to support data sovereignty is something that is
lacking, and with ACASIA, we fill the gap and offer the missing link for the
whole ecosystem of digitalisation, especially for businesses and government in
the ASEAN region. Our strength as a unit will enable our clients to leverage on
these synergies to grow globally in a secure environment amidst a rush into
digitalisation," Satya added.
The comprehensive connectivity solutions offered by ACASIA puts the
Group in a good position to tap on the huge potential within the global
wireless connectivity technology market, which was expected to grow at a 13.0%
CAGR to reach USD150.4 billion by 2021.
