Awanbiru Technology Bhd (Awantec), which is acting as a Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Google Cloud as the Cloud Service Provider (CSP), are committed to fulfilling their obligations to speed up the digital transformation process for government agencies as pledged through the Cloud Framework Agreement (CFA).
Starting in July 2022, Awantec has organised a CFA roadshow exclusively for government agencies in selected states to showcase their capabilities and capacity in providing the best Google Cloud solutions and services that will ease cloud computing migration for the public sector.
Attendees from three different clusters - defense, infrastructure, and education representing their agencies such as the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN), and Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAIWP) among those who were present during the first roadshow that was held in Google Malaysia and The Everly Hotel, Putrajaya respectively.
Officiated by Awantec’s Chief Operating Officer (COO), Mr. Baldesh Singh, this 3-day event covers the topics of starting a cloud journey, Google Cloud products and solutions, Awantec services, and Cloud Clinic, presented by experts from both Google Cloud and Awantec. Tackling issues such as the challenges and solutions to cloud computing, sharing success stories from real-case studies, change management, and how to render Awantec’s services under Pekeliling 2.6 were among the highlights of the event.
“We are working closely with our partner, Google Cloud, to ensure that the Cloud First strategy envisioned by the Malaysian government is successfully implemented and achieved. This CFA roadshow, the first of its kind, is a demonstration of our efforts and commitment to realising the mission to support the MyDIGITAL blueprint, which aims to bridge the digital divide and grow the country’s digital economy,” said Mr. Baldesh in his opening speech.
There were also quizzes and lucky draw sessions held at the Awantec booth to test the participants’ comprehension and interest. Awantec considers its first CFA roadshow a success with 71.1% of the attendees felt highly satisfied and requested other topics to be included in the future, such as Data Analytics, Google Security, Google Training, and Google Workstation tour. The CFA roadshow is set to resume in August and is expected to end in October 2022.
