Kerjasama yang terjalin ini bakal menjadikan PLUS syarikat pertama di Malaysia yang menggunakan teknologi masa hadapan seperti Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data analytics dan cloud computing untuk menaiktaraf rangkaian lebuhraya.
Rangkamasa yang disediakan platform Azure membuka peluang Big Data Analytics dan operasi AI, yang menyumbang kepada penambahbaikan ramalan kesesakan, perancangan perjalanan lebih baik dan menyediakan pengalaman lebih selamat dan menarik di lebuhraya PLUS.
Jalinan kerjasama antara PLUS dan Microsoft merupakan langkah pertama syarikat ini dalam menuju kearah transformasi digital yang bertujuan untuk mempertingkatkan keberkesanan sekaligus mengurangkan kos dalam rangkaian lebuhrayanya.
“Kami di PLUS sentiasa mengambil berat tentang keperluan pelanggan kami di sepanjang
perjalanan mereka,” kata Datuk Azman Ismail, Pengarah Urusan, PLUS Malaysia Berhad.”
Sementara rangkaian lebuhraya kami terus berkembang ke seluruh Malaysia menyediakan
perkhidmatan kepada penggunaa lebuh raya yang semakin bertambah, kami bukan sahaja perlu melakukan transformasi dari segi digital, tetapi kami juga perlu mengadaptasikan budaya organisasi yang baru.
“Dengan menjalinkan kerjasama dengan pakar industri seperti Microsoft, kami berazam untuk membawa perniagaan kami kearah sempadan inovasi, tempatan dan serantau, sementara menangani cabaran revolusi industri 4,” katanya.
Melalui jalinan kerjasama ini, PLUS bakal menggunakan Microsoft Azure untuk menangani
beberapa cabaran rumit seperti keupayaan server, fleksibiliti dan keselamatan. Melalui platform cloud-based Azure, PLUS berupaya untuk membina dan mengembangkan sumber premis untuk penambahbaikan prestasi dalaman dan pengalaman pelanggan tanpa perlu merisaukan tentang keupayaan server.
Ini membolehkan PLUS melakukan penjimatan dari segi kos pembinaan dan memperluaskan infrastruktur premis, mewujudkan lebih banyak ruang bagi syarikat untuk lebih fokus dalam penambahbaikan servis.
PLUS juga bakal menggunakan Azure Key Vault untuk mengawal data di cloud tersebut melalui penggunaan kunci kriptografi. Kesannya, PLUS akan berupaya untuk mengurangkan percanggahan data, penambahbaikan operasi dan penyesuaian kutipan tol elektronik dan keberkesanan memperbaiki secara menyeluruh sebanyak 40%, atau 600 Man-Hours, setiap bulan.
“Kerjasama kita hari ini menandakan permulaan yang bakal membawa satu perubahan kepada lebuhraya Malaysia,” tambah Datuk Azman. “Dengan pandangan yang dikongsikan oleh Power BI dan fleksibiliti Azure, kita mampu untuk terus berkembang dan berupaya untuk menangani perubahan yang bakal berlaku dalam landskap dimana perniagaan kami beroperasi agar membolehkan kami untuk kekal berdaya saing dalam era digital ini.”
Dengan lebih dari 1.7 juta kenderaan yang menggunakan rangkaian lebuh raya PLUS setiap hari, syarikat ini memerlukan penyelesaian yang mampu menganalisa sejumlah besar data dengan cekap dan berkesan.
Melalui kuasa AI dan Analytics Big Data, Microsoft Power BI, PLUS bakal berupaya untuk menggambarkan data yang dikumpul dan berinteraksi dengannya melalui antara muka mesra pengguna yang dapat memberikan perkongsian yang berguna dalam membantu memberikan penyelesaian berkenaan masalah perniagaan dan strategi yang kritikal.
Dengan penggunaan Azure sebagai landasan, PLUS bertujuan untuk melakukan beberapa
penambahbaikan dari segi operasi di masa hadapan termasuklah integrasi analisa video yang dijangka mengurangkan keperluan kakitangan dan menangani masalah kewangan yang berjumlah RM2.7 million dalam revenue kerugian tahunan.
Pengarah Urusan Microsoft Malaysia, K Raman berkata, “Semenjak pertubuhan kami di Malaysia lebih 25 tahun yang lalu, Microsoft telah memainkan peranan dalam pergerakan transformasi digital melalui bidang perniagaan dan organisasi di seluruh negara.
Jalinan kerjasama antara kami dan PLUS pada hari ini adalah bukti visi kami untuk memberdayakan sesiapa sahaja mahupun mana-mana organisasi di planet ini untuk mencapai lebih banyak lagi.
Tahniah juga diucapkan kepada PLUS kerana telah menjadi syarikat servis perkhidmatan lebuhraya pertama di Malaysia untuk berjaya mengintegrasikan Azure ke lebuh raya.

Business competition is a fundamental economic force, compelling successful firms to continually improve products and offer attractive prices.
MyBiz Solutions, a Malaysian company which helps firms compete by optimising their expenditure for cost savings and increased profit, came out on top in a competition of its own – winning on the global stage at the World Procurement Awards.
MyBiz CEO – World Procurement Awards 2019
MyBiz underwent stringent judging to win the highly coveted Procurement Consultancy Project Award at the World Procurement Awards 2019. Now in their 13th year, The World Procurement Awards, in association with SAP Ariba, are the most celebrated and sought-after awards in procurement, recognising the most progressive people, projects and organisations across the globe.
All entries endure a thorough three-stage judging process, to ensure complete transparency and guarantee that the winners really are the best of the best.
“Our purpose is to transform businesses and support them in their journey to reach their maximum potential, through innovative technologies developed under our roof. We have managed to save our clients hundreds of millions in cash thanks to our automated and easy-to-use modules.
Being recognised at the distinguished World Procurement Awards means a lot to all of us at MyBiz as this proves that we, a Malaysian business, can deliver results and compete among the other giants of the world,” said Cheong Yuk Wai, Chief Executive Officer of MyBiz Solutions Sdn Bhd.
“Our proprietary software was recognised by Gartner, Inc in 2013, the world’s leading research firm for global leaders. That marked the first time any Asian vendor appeared in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Strategic Sourcing Application Suites.”
MyBiz won the World Procurement award because of its work with CIMB Group, one of ASEAN’s top universal banks. In 2015, the Banking Group publicly announced its T18 Regional initiative focused on streamlining Operating Costs, recalibration of its Business Priorities and realignment of its Organisational Culture.
The cost reduction programme was internally named ‘Project KAIJU’, to tackle the “monster” of escalating cost (In March 2015, CIMB had a extremely high Cost-to-Income ratio of 58.1%, up from 56.8% in 2014).
In that spirit, MyBiz conceived RODAN (Regional Optimisation by Design, Analysis and Normalisation) to implement strategic procurements across CIMB’s divisions. This was MyBiz’s plan – to fight a monster with a monster of its own.
The results delivered by RODAN are indisputable. With an investment of under RM10 million, CIMB saw an impressive RM130 million in extra savings in the first year alone and RM600 million in procurement savings by April 2018.
“In just two years, with the successful implementation of our regional procurement system together with other strategic cost savings initiatives, we have achieved cumulative procurement savings of more than RM317 million contributing to a lower Cost-to-Income ratio of 51.8% (for FY17)! Our strategic sourcing initiatives have been well received by both businesses and enablers in CIMB and the cross-functional teamwork has been exemplary.
We have also managed to inculcate a mindful-spending culture in Team CIMB” said Tengku Datuk Zafrul, Chief Executive Officer of CIMB Group. “I am very proud of the work delivered by the Group Strategic Procurement department and we will continue working with them to unlock more opportunities to optimise Spend.” he added.
Through RODAN, MyBiz was able to optimise CIMB’s expenditure. “Our service value proposition walks the line between procurement business consulting, ground-breaking tech tools, and spend analytics that have helped our clients save hundreds of millions in cash.
Every facet of a business requires scrutiny for it to perform at an optimal level, and that is the service we are proud to offer. After all, every ringgit saved is a ringgit earned,” Cheong concluded.
MyBiz Solutions provides the foundation for asset-based consulting which is developed and delivered to its clients with a great value-for-money Return on Investment. It has been recognised on a global scale, with global players such as Gartner lauding its strong spend analysis solution.
In addition, MyBiz is also part of the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation’s (MDEC) programme to expedite the government’s vision to build local technology champions. The programme, called the Global Acceleration and Innovation Network (GAIN), has supported MyBiz on its trajectory of rapidly becoming a global player.

Since 2016, Samsung Electronics has been pushing to bring comfort and portability to the forefront of the mobile audio experience with their wearable earbuds – with industry-leading success.
IN their latest iteration, Samsung’s Galaxy Buds have been engineered to deliver premium audio in a truly wearable design. Let’s take a deep dive into the features, from acoustic design to software to form, that enable the wireless earbuds to provide a new mobile audio experience.
Dr Sean Olive (middle) testing headphones with his team
Sound by AKG
The latest Galaxy Buds mark the first time that AKG is bringing outstanding sound quality to a truly wireless product. But what defines excellent sound quality?
A cursory glance at audio reviews and audiophile forums will show that the answers are diverse. While some users favor rich bass tones, others prefer headphones with a spacious soundstage.
There is, perhaps, no person better qualified to answer this question than Dr Sean Olive, Acoustic Research Senior Fellow at Harman International. For the past seven years, Dr Olive and his team have been conducting in-depth research into the perception and measurement of headphone sound quality.
“Good sound is achieved when the headphones accurately reproduce the music without adding any audible distortion or noise to the original sound,” he says.
By testing the response of a wide range of listeners, Dr. Olive and his team have developed an objective tool to measure the sound quality of headphones. Dubbed the Harman Target Curve, the measurement helps audio engineers design headphones that replicate the experience of listening to music in a reference listening room.
“Sound quality involves different attributes, including spectral or timbral qualities, spatial qualities and distortion, and noise. The goal for AKG is to be as neutral, accurate and transparent as possible for each of these attributes,” he explains.
Described by Dr. Olive as “a perfect marriage between science, engineering, and art,” Galaxy Buds were tuned to the Harman Target Curve by acoustic engineers at AKG. The wireless earbuds achieved a truly impressive performance on the Curve, significantly higher than other wireless earphones, winning the praise of Dr. Olive.
“The sound quality of the new Galaxy Buds is impressive,” Dr. Olive says. “It is difficult to say they have any sonic personality, which is the ultimate compliment I can give.”
Users can tailor the tone of the Galaxy Buds to suit their tastes and different musical genres by using the customizable equalizer, which features five unique settings. With eartips designed to maximize the noise-minimizing advantages of canal-type earbuds, Galaxy Buds let users listen to their favorite tunes, regardless of the surroundings.
Scalable Codec
In addition to perfecting the acoustics, designing wireless earbuds presents additional challenges. For one, the reliance on Bluetooth to transmit audio information makes wireless earbuds susceptible to interference.
Featuring Samsung’s proprietary Scalable Codec, Galaxy Buds ensure that users can enjoy their favorite tunes without interruption.
The codec prevents audio chopping by changing the bit-rate according to the strength of the Bluetooth connection. When the wireless connection is weak, Scalable Codec automatically encodes the audio information with a higher compression ratio, allowing the earbuds to receive data without interruption.
Adaptive Dual Microphone
Galaxy Buds’ noise-canceling capability extends beyond the listening experience. Featuring an Adaptive Dual Microphone, the wireless earbuds also minimize external noise in phone conversations.
The Adaptive Dual Microphone combines signals from an inner and outer microphone. While the outer receiver detects audio in the surrounding area, the inner microphone picks up vibrations resonating inside the body.
By processing and mixing the two sources, the Adaptive Dual Microphone produces an accurate representation of the user’s voice. The microphones are further enhanced by SolomonVoice technology and Wind Noise Reduction capability to help Galaxy Buds deliver the user’s voice clearly.
