Are you ready for the next level of global growth? The drive for digital transformation in South-East Asia is creating an unprecedented demand for cloud communication. Major markets, including Malaysia and Singapore, are keen to adopt tools and technology that enable remote working and collaboration.

Key Statistics

Hybrid working is now preferred by over 70% of employees in Malaysia and Singapore.

In addition, building ‘digital resilience’ is a technology priority for 60% of businesses in Malaysia and Singapore.

In Asia and Oceania, the Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) market is forecast to grow revenue to almost $1 billion (USD) by 2027.

Malaysia is rapidly transforming into a digital economy and is a key expansion region for Fortune 500 and global tech companies.


What to look for in a carrier

South-East Asia is an important growth region for UCaaS and CPaaS, and picking the right carrier partner is vital to your success in these exciting markets.

You need a provider who:

1. Supports direct-to-carrier call routing, helping you improve the cost and quality of domestic and international call termination.

2. Provides access to local geographic and toll-free numbers, and porting (where available).

3. Understands your requirements and call handling needs in delivering core telco services in region.

4. Can confidently scale with fully compliant, carrier-grade voice coverage.

5. Is committed to compliance. A partner who will support you in ensuring you meet local anti-scam and emergency call standards

6. Will assist with understanding the local regulatory / licensing framework.
