StarHub Helps Enterprises with Smarter Solutions

Singapore, 4 March 2014 While business outlook is generally positive for 2014, enterprises both large and small must leverage new technology developments to work smarter to remain relevant in the marketplace.

Speaking to a business audience at StarHub Synnovation 2014, a business tech event held at Raffles City Convention Centre today, StarHub's Chief Commercial Officer Mr Kevin Lim said technology disruption is fast changing the way that business is conducted and enterprises must address both the challenges and opportunities the new digital world brings.

Research are forecasting that cloud computing, mobility, big data analytics and the Internet of Things will come together in a massive disruptive wave that completely transforms the way business is conducted across the world. It is the wave which Gartner has called the third era of enterprise IT , and IDC refers to as the third platform .

Enterprises must take advantage of digital technologies and the platforms that they enable, such as cloud computing, mobility, big data analytics and the Internet of Things to transform product experiences, create stronger customer relationship, improve operational efficiency and target new opportunities and markets, Mr Lim added.

Mr Lim said enterprises know their industries well but may not understand how best to leverage the technologies to address all the challenges and opportunities the new digital world brings, and this is where StarHub comes in, to support the business growth of enterprises with the right technology and smart solutions to realise productivity, flexibility and innovation benefits.
