How to Select the Right Malaysian AI and Analytics Partner

AI and Analytics Success Starts with the Right Partner

AI adoption in Malaysia is accelerating quickly. In the last year, the number of Malaysian businesses using AI has grown 35%¹. And a full 81%¹ businesses in the country believe that AI will transform their industry in the next five years.

Yet only 27%¹ of Malaysian organisations use AI.

What is holding the rest back from maximising the opportunities of AI and analytics?

In one word: Complexity. Malaysian companies struggle with many of the same challenges their peers across the world face. This includes fragmented data, poorly-designed dashboards, concerns around data governance and sovereignty, limited in-house skills, and a lack of access to the right tools and models.

This is why AI and analytics partners are so important. The right partner can help businesses assess their needs, translate business priorities into technology requirements, understand and unlock the value of their data, connect data silos, and apply AI and analytics to create measurable value.

Selecting the right partner, however, can be a challenge.

Close the Gap Between AI and Analytics Opportunity and Outcomes

AI and analytics are rapidly becoming a competitive differentiator for organisations across financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, education, logistics, transportation, and the public sector in Malaysia.

Recent data shows that Malaysian businesses that have deployed AI are already seeing measurable results:

• 65% report increased revenue, with an average uplift of 19%¹
• 72% have achieved significant productivity improvements¹
• 28% are developing new products and services¹
• 38% are enhancing customer service and strengthening customer relationships¹

Despite these significant benefits, a lot of Malaysia’s AI potential remains unrealised. Global management consulting firm Kearney estimates that by 2030, AI could add up to US$115 billion to Malaysia’s economy. But capturing that value depends on how deeply and strategically organisations implement AI.

Right now, 73% of Malaysia’s businesses remain focused primarily on more basic uses of AI.
