"By integrating data and analytics, we are able to scale our ecosystem, increase revenue and accelerate growth while future-proofing our business strategy which includes diversification of new verticals, embracing disruptive technologies while also nurturing a controlled ecosystem based on data, analytics, IoT (internet-of-things) and partnerships.”
Through the partnership, JCorp expects to gain substantial costs savings, improved productivity and increased efficiency with automation and streamlining of processes, and a simplified user experience through integrated systems.
“As part of our journey towards a value-driven organisation, JCorp is continuously looking at improving our ways of working,” added Ahmad Yusri Mohamed, chief digital officer of JCorp.
