The NCT Group has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Microsoft in Malaysia to support NCT Group in the digitalisation of the upcoming NCT Smart Industrial Park (NSIP) in Selangor.
In a statement, the property developer said the MoU is set to serve as a starting point for NCT Group to explore Microsoft’s trusted cloud network and advanced data management solutions for NCT and its future tenants at NSIP.
“NCT Group aims to collaborate with Microsoft to look into Internet of Things (IoT), data architecture, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI) along with edge computing, all of which will be beneficial to NSIP to drive efficiency and productivity,” said the statement.
“To encourage greater digital savviness for the tenants at NSIP, NCT Group intends to leverage Microsoft’s Enterprise Skilling Program to deliver hands-on training of Microsoft technologies. Certified candidates will be awarded a globally recognized certification, testament to their digital competencies, while being part of the Microsoft MEET Community, which provides access to the latest news on employability and digital talent acquisition,” it said.
NCT Group founder and managing director Dato’ Sri Yap Ngan Choy said NSIP is a visionary project and the group is committed to continuously explore new avenues that will add value to its business.
Microsoft Malaysia managing director K Raman said the company looks forward to working together to accelerate the NSIP project and to realize the opportunities technology can bring for Malaysian people and organizations.
