KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 2011 (Bernama) -- MY E.G. Services Bhd (MyEG), the e-government services provider, Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding with Kazakhstan's National Information Technologies JSC (NIT) to jointly introduce e-government services in that country.
In a statement Wednesday, MyEG said its first overseas venture would leverage on its experience in delivering online government services in Malaysia to help NIT build Kazakhstan's national information technology infrastructure.
The signing ceremony, witnessed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak Tun Razak, who is on a four-day official visit to Kazakhstan, and his counterpart Karim Massimov, was held in conjunction with the World Islamic Economic Forum.
MyEG's Executive Chairman Datuk Dr Norraesah Mohamad said MyEG had developed its expertise and has a track record in providing online public services which could be potentially applied to other markets.
"We are excited by the opportunities presented by this collaboration given that it marks our first venture overseas.
"We hope this mutually-beneficial venture would result in a substantial source of additional revenue from overseas for MyEG and diversify our earnings base in the long-run," she said.
Both parties hope to see the outcome of the collaboration after a year.

Axiata & Ericsson Enter Into Long-Term Strategic Cooperation
Kuala Lumpur 3rd November 2010 - Axiata Group Berhad, one of Asia’s largest telecommunications companies, today announced that it has entered into a five-year strategic global framework arrangement with Ericsson, a leading provider of telecommunications equipment and related services. In the agreement, one of the most comprehensive and advanced in the industry, both Axiata and Ericsson have agreed to work together to establish a streamlined procurement platform which will realise business efficiencies and competitive advantage through cash flow improvement and timely purchasing. The agreement will also enable Axiata to leverage on its volume, across five countries in the region, for pricing arrangements which will ultimately translate into cost savings for Axiata Group.
Specifically, the Axiata-Ericsson framework agreement will provide Axiata and the Axiata group of Companies (OpCos) a common platform for the purchases by Axiata and its group of Companies (OpCos) of telecommunications and other products as well as the provision of related works and services from Ericsson. This cooperation which will improve engagement and further strengthen the relationship between the two companies, will involve the regular exchange of information on technical and technology areas relating to products, works and services purchased by Axiata and the Axiata Companies. Axiata will therefore have better visibility of Ericsson’s roadmap and be able to leverage off this knowledge base and target its spend more efficiently.
President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Axiata, Dato’ Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim said “Speed is crucial in the telecommunications industry and this agreement reduces the time required by each of the companies in purchasing products and services thereby translating into faster time to market which will ultimately benefit customers. We look forward to working closely with Ericsson, towards a mutually beneficial agreement”
Hans Vestberg, President and CEO of Ericsson said; “Leveraging our long successful partnership with Axiata group, the agreement will streamline the procurement process while achieving time and cost savings – true win-win situation for both of the companies. We’re proud of being chosen as the first vendor to be awarded this credibility by Axiata group.”

Axiata Group Berhad Continues Winning Streak with Frost & Sullivan 2010 Asia Pacific ICT Award for Best Telecom Group for the second consecutive Year
Kuala Lumpur 10th June, Axiata Group Berhad (Axiata) continues to gain momentum in the industry as it received more prestigious regional awards with the Frost & Sullivan’s 2010 Asia Pacific ICT Award for Best Telecom Group of the Year, for the second consecutive year. Axiata Group also took home six awards in total, with Celcom Axiata Berhad winning the regional award for Service Provider of the Year as well as Malaysia’s Mobile Service Provider and Wireless Data Service Provider of the Year. Robi, in Bangladesh, was voted the best Emerging Market Service Provider of the Year. Alongside these, Axiata’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim, was given the prestigious individual award for CEO of the Year: Service Provider award. The honours follow on from the Group’s recent sweep at the Telecom Asia awards, where three awards in total were picked for the Group.
To qualify for the Telecom Group of the Year category companies were studied on their growth and performance in 2010 in Asia Pacific through its investments in the region. Contenders were evaluated based on revenues, Group EBITDA margin, and strength of regional footprint as well as valuation improvement. Shortlisted companies were interviewed, and the data collected compared with proprietary Frost & Sullivan resources, as well as secondary research available from public sources.
Dato’ Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim, President and Chief Executive Officer of Axiata said “We are greatly honoured by the awards and would like to thank Frost & Sullivan for the recognition. The awards reflect the great team that we have with us and are really a collective victory to be fully shared with all our employees. I also have to thank our stakeholders, especially the customers, and the relevant authorities.”
“Axiata continued to establish itself as one of the premier regional telecom groups in Asia Pacific region in 2009, recording another outstanding performance for 2009. The group reported revenue growth of 15.5% year on year and was the only major regional operator to grow in double-digit revenue figures. Driven particularly by its operations in Malaysia and Indonesia and a turnaround year in Bangladesh the operator was not only able to grow its top line but also successfully controlled costs as its Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) also grew by 18.4%. Through its associates and subsidiaries Axiata subscribers was at 120 million, an increase of 34%. In 2009 the Axiata also underwent an important regional re-branding exercise to create a unified and regional image as the company transitions from a holding company to an integrated Asian telecom service provider” said Shaker Ibne Amin, Industry Analyst, Asia Pacific ICT Practice, Frost & Sullivan.
With Asia Pacific’s mobile penetration rate standing at a mere 56.06% at the end of 2009 there is significant subscriber and revenue growth to come in the region. Axiata Group has built a strong portfolio including investments in ten markets in the region, many of which are among the world’s fastest growing. Fuelled by a stellar year in Indonesia, Axiata Group witnessed strong subscriber and revenue growth outside its home market, and has taken steps in other markets to ensure future operating success.
“The awards are an acknowledgement of the continued success of our operating companies in the region as well as an acknowledgement of the Group’s transformation, barely two years since becoming a stand alone company and just over a year as Axiata. I would also like to congratulate all Celcom and Robi employees and in particular Dato’ Sri Shazalli Ramly and Michael Kuehner, for their strong and creative leadership, in winning their respective awards” Dato’ Sri Jamaludin Ibrahim concluded.
