Empowering digital change in businesses - IAC plays role of a trusted advisor, problem solver, and partner in growth

Covid-19 has challenged the way businesses run, forcing many to completely rethink the way they operate. Companies accelerated their digitalisation, many from a zero base. 

Digitalisation is no longer an option for most businesses. While an ad hoc piecemeal approach to digitalisation may be sufficient as a knee-jerk stopgap measure, businesses would benefit better from a more deliberate and/or holistic approach. 

Given the plethora of technologies and tools out there designed to optimise business processes, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) applications and automation technologies, which ones should your business adopt? Technologies evolve so very fast after all. Which business processes can you safely outsource to free up resources? How can your business best benefit from artificial intelligence (AI), Cloud Computing and data analytics? And then there’s the issue of integrating the new systems with existing systems. Few organisations have all the required implementation expertise in-house.

This is where choosing the right service provider not just takes the heavy lifting of strategising off you, but also ensures that the best technologies for your business needs are deployed. 

Innovation Associates Consulting (IAC), a subsidiary of Dagang NeXchange Berhad (DNeX), takes pride in having earned organisations' trust, both in the public and private sector, because it delivers. It has over 250 clients, including several blue-chip organisations in Malaysia, many of whom have used its services multiple times. 

“Whether their need is organisational, operational or strategic, we deliver. Whether they need honest objectivity, scrupulous professionalism or sustained collaboration, we deliver. This is our strength,” says the website of the IT consultancy and business system integrator.

IAC sees its role as a partner of growth, transferring more than information, techniques and technology – it partners its clients in creating productive change in business culture, providing  innovative solutions and to assist them in increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

As a trusted advisor, IAC designs and deploys for its clients bespoke solutions to achieve their business goals, be it business optimisation, revenue enhancement, cost reduction, or digital transformation.
