Cordoda in SME e-biz drive
The Star - In-Tech-02/10/01
Cordoda Corporation Sdn Bhd said its newly-established Small and Medium Industry Solutions Unit (SMISU) has surveyed some 60 small and medium industries (SMIs) in Malaysia to better "understand and map the SMI landscape."
“We initiated a dialogue by way of the survey to better understand the small and medium companies’ business and technology requirements,” said Cordoda chief operating officer Shane Hodge
"We were also able to more accurately gauge their technology competence and understanding, thus enabling us to provide entry level education and solutions for this market," he claimed.
SMIs in Malaysia range from the manufacturing, retail through to professional services and speciality goods industries, Cordoda said in a press statement
These companies often do business across Malaysia in the region and even internationally. Today, much of their business communications and transactions are conducted conventionally using the telephone, the facsimile and handphones, according to the survey." It takes time and a lot of effort to help SMIs appreciate the business value of e-commerce," said Yeoh Tze Pin, head of the SMISU.
“They are often challenged in meeting the day-to-day needs of their respective operations, and usually see investing in technology as an additional burden without realising how it can transform their lives and their top-line," she claimed.
Cordoda said its SMISU would work closely with national bodies and industry organisations to develop on-going education and awareness programmes. “Our focus is now on market education and to help the SMI sector migrate onto the 'e-platform,' " said Yeoh
She said the SMISU approach involves developing a suitable strategy to introduce e-business practices, in consultation with client companies. Through collaboration in implementing the e-commerce solutions and offering on-going support, SMISU arms to establish itself as a "technology partner” to SMIs.
