PETALING JAYA: Sunway Group and Huawei Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd (Huawei Malaysia) are collaborating to further advance digital innovation across all of Sunway’s business divisions within Asean.
The collaboration, called “Digital Innovation Programme 2.0,” which will involve a cloud modernisation journey, will identify additional areas of cooperation with a focus on big data, smart townships and digital power.
“The partnership between Huawei Malaysia and Sunway has advanced significantly since the first memorandum of understanding in September 2021 on ‘Digital Innovation Programme 1.0,’ where both entities successfully collaborated on several fronts.
“This included cloud migration, app modernisation and digital growth platforms comprising the Sunway Super App, as well as artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities,” the parties said in a joint statement.
Through Digital Innovation Programme 2.0, Huawei Malaysia will export its cutting-edge capabilities in information and communications technology to harness the synergies of Sunway’s business divisions and develop innovative energy solutions for smart, sustainable low-carbon cities.
“This collaboration will see both parties leveraging on each other’s strengths to innovate new digital services and co-build partnerships for the entire Sunway ecosystem.”The collaboration will include a data to value programme, which offers a jointly defined framework to increase the value and capabilities of Sunway from building a data lake to adopting Huawei’s big data platform to support Sunway’s business strategy and roadmap.
Meanwhile, the parties’ smart townships development programme is in line with Sunway’s mission to scale smart sustainable townships in the next three to five years.
“This joint partnership explores a robust ICT infrastructure to support a variety of smart technologies that will be implemented across all Sunway townships.”
