Enterprises using Microsoft cloud platforms
to improve agility, control costs and enhance customer and employee
experience, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Companies in Singapore and Malaysia are accelerating their
adoption of Microsoft cloud platforms as their efforts to improve
customer and employee experience mature, according to a new
research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG)
(Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory
firm.
The 2024 ISG Provider Lens™ Microsoft Cloud Ecosystem report for
Singapore and Malaysia finds more enterprises in the region are
embracing Microsoft’s expanding lineup of platforms and seeking
services for Microsoft 365, Azure (including SAP on Azure),
Dynamics 365, Power Platform and Copilot. Companies are moving to
the cloud for lower costs, greater agility and faster innovation as
well as for better user experiences. To achieve these aims, they
are engaging providers for managed services such as DevOps and
containerization, ISG says.
“More enterprises in Singapore and Malaysia now recognize the
potential to grow by going cloud native,” said Michael Gale,
partner and regional leader, ISG Asia Pacific. “Using DevOps and
other tools helps them introduce new features and revenue
streams.”
At the same time, the market for cloud services in Singapore and
Malaysia is growing more competitive as local players begin to
challenge larger rivals, ISG says. This trend is likely to continue
over the next five years.
Though some employees are now returning to offices in these
countries, remote and hybrid work are becoming part of long-term
enterprise strategies, the report says. A growing number of
companies are using Microsoft cloud platforms, especially Teams and
Viva, to foster a sense of connection among employees and enable
better internal and external collaboration.
Enterprises in the region are also improving the experience of
frontline workers by identifying and providing appropriate devices,
applications and connectivity, ISG says. Microsoft Viva employee
experience tools are central to these efforts, while companies also
explore non-intrusive ways to engage with employees, including
cognitive virtual assistants that perform routine tasks so workers
can focus on critical work.
Microsoft’s Copilot AI companions are beginning to democratize
access to AI within enterprises, with new platforms allowing
employees to automate workflows and tailor them to their own needs,
the report says. AI and Copilot are powering initiatives to boost
productivity, tap into employees’ creativity and retain top
talent.
“Copilots may become a killer app that creates a new universe of
applications and marketplaces,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and
global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “Providers are helping
clients reach the technical readiness to use Copilots in their own
environments.”
The report also explores other Microsoft cloud platform trends
affecting Singapore and Malaysia, including GenAI projects
advancing from experimentation to deployment and the rising use of
AI to counter cybersecurity threats.

facing enterprises in these countries, including the difficulty of
delivering better customer and employee experiences and the
sometimes confusing array of providers to choose from, plus advice

Points briefing here.
