Malaysian internet technology company TOGL has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Huawei Cloud to create a new user experience for the nation.
The agreement outlined the areas of metaverse, virtual experiences, livestreaming, big data and artificial intelligence (AI) for both parties to collaborate on.
Powered by Huawei Cloud, TOGL’s portfolio of applications includes social networking platform Yippi, e-commerce platform TopzMall, and travel service portal TogaGo.
In particular, Yippi provides services ranging from social networking, payment, e-commerce, travel, entertainment, video calls, to healthcare, while also supporting live events such as concerts, award ceremonies, and product launches.

Meanwhile, RDS is designed to read and write stored user information, comments, recommendations, and rewards in seconds.
Additionally, Yippi integrates video on demand (VOD) into multiple services to ensure user acquisition and retention with quality video playbacks.
TOGL is leveraging Huawei Cloud VOD for its viewers enjoy smooth playbacks, citing that it has seen a 50 percent reduction in public network bandwidth costs.
At the MOU signing ceremony, Zeng Xingyun, president of Asia Pacific at Huawei Cloud and TOGL’s CMO Roy Lim Jun Hao, stated that TOGL is striving to “make people's lives better and help small- and medium-sized enterprises grow”.
