Monisha Voonna, Director of Solutions Consulting at ContentSquare APJ goes straight to the point about digital experience analytics or DXA, “If you are a company or an organization that cares about your digital footprint, be it retail, ecommerce, FSI, telco, gaming, and more, you want to make sure that your digital footprint is solid.” Treating every square foot of virtual space be it on an application or a website, as a chance to engage potential customers can be an alien and intriguing notion for non-marketers, but what Monisha said rang true. “The moment you spend money to acquire users ...

2024 Trend Focus: The Security and Usability Reckoning For Great Experiences

By |2024-01-09T14:02:46+08:00January 9, 2024|Categories: Experiences|Tags: , , , , |

IT operations is serious business that ensures organizations are able to operate to achieve goals like reliable CX, while security operations have to ‘guarantee’ businesses that use tech for this, do so without compromising a company’s data integrity, reputation, customers’ privacy and experience.  But the scope of work is not so clearly delineated. Also ironically, both these functions work to benefit an organization via optimized use of technology - so, why are they set up separately? Why are both roles discordant with each other? Battle-hardened cyberdefenders like Cybot's Rodney Lee and CACT's Dr. Suresh Ramasamy have also wondered ... Read More

A recent survey by Deloitte revealed that 69% of Gen Z would leave their job if their employer mandates a return to the office full time.  This preference for autonomy by a segment that will grow to become 25% of the APAC population in 2025, reflects a greater inclination for flexibility, work-life balance, and autonomy offered by remote working. As the workforce continues to shift to younger generations, companies must take remote work seriously in order to attract new talent and remain competitive in the global economy.  While some will take the leap forward to embrace new HR tools and ...

Regional Director at Cyclone Robotics, Hew Wee Choong, believes that the Asian Century is going to drive RPA, or robotic process automation, growth in this region. “With economic activity centred in Malaysia and Asia itself, human talent becomes critical in fuelling economic growth, and just like anywhere else in the world, it starts to become scarce.” Hew stated that due to this, many organizations are looking to adopt RPA and automate processes, so as to alleviate the issue of scarce human resource, knowledge retention, and higher staff attrition.  RPA, or Robotic Process Automation, tends to be characterized by automation of ...

Last May, CXpose had a brief chat with SAINS, or Sarawak Information Systems Sdn Bhd, the state-owned ICT company for the state of Sarawak.

Since its establishment about 30 years ago, SAINS has evolved from initially computerising state agencies, to now providing digital services, and upgrading legacy systems. Interestingly, SAINS offers services to clients outside of Malaysia (ie. Brunei, Papua New Guinea, Oman, and more), but ... Read More

By |2023-11-12T11:47:15+08:00November 16, 2023|Categories: CXposé+, AI|Tags: , , , |

Last night I fell asleep to news that very big figures in the AI world – Elon Musk, Yoshua Bengio, Steve Wozniak, Yuval Harari, Andrew Yng, Emad Mostaque, and other AI leaders – have signed an open letter to ‘Pause Giant AI Experiments’. Were the signatures that had been sighted, authentic? Who knows? Who can verify? About 6 hours later, more opinions have flooded the Internet, and Linkedin in particular, so I turned to a source that I knew would keep close tabs on the matter and could verify whether there was any such thing going on. Sure enough, I was pointed ... Read More

During the recent WCIT (World Congress for IT), CXposé.tech had the opportunity to speak to WITSA CEO, Datuk Dan. Khoo, and catch up on what he has been up to since the last WCIT he famously brought to Malaysia in 2008.  Any journalist above 30 years of age (ahem!) or even a keen observer of the local tech ecosystem, would have come across the name Dan E Khoo. In the 1980s, he founded Computimes, the IT news pullout of The New Straits Times (NST) in the 1980s with his brother, Derrick Khoo. After that Dan E. went on to ... Read More
