In its continuous effort to empower Malaysian SMEs through the usage of ICT, Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) today launched the all-new UniFi with Microsoft® Office 365, an enhancement to its existing UniFi business packages. The new and enhanced package was launched by Azizi A Hadi, Executive Vice President, SME, TM, together with Azizah Ali, Director, Small and Medium Solutions and Partners, Microsoft Malaysia.

The newly launched UniFi with Microsoft® Office 365 is the product of the continuous collaboration between TM and Microsoft which offers cloud-powered communications facilities and the Microsoft Office 365 productivity suite through TM’s Managed Information Communications Technology (ICT)/Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) arm – VADS Berhad (VADS) – to Malaysian businesses throughout the country.

Commenting on the new offering, Azizi shared, “After the proven partnership between TM and Microsoft in enhancing TM’s Office in a Box™ package, we are very optimistic that the on-going strategic partnership between both organisations will continue to be a success, allowing us to continue playing our roles in equipping businesses with comprehensive business solutions, tailor-made to meet their increasingly sophisticated requirements. With this latest enhancement, Malaysian SMEs can fully leverage the benefits of ICT and focus on their core business operations to increase their productivity, expand their market reach and serve their end customers better.”

“TM is constantly exploring new and innovative ways to assist local SMEs to move up the value chain and achieve greater success. We hope that these efforts will also further cement TM’s presence as the nation’s trusted and reliable end-to-end ICT solutions provider with the capability, skills and knowledge to adapt to the customers’ growing businesses,” added Azizi.

Speaking on the collaboration, Azizah said, “Many businesses are realising the power of cloud computing technology for its ability to leverage IT capabilities more cost-effectively, creating new ways to serve new customers, and even operating a business without IT limits. Microsoft’s Office 365 helps businesses take care of their IT needs so they can concentrate on what they do best: managing and driving their businesses.”
