Programme to boost Malaysia IT vendors' capabilities
KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Finance (MOF) has
teamed up with Microsoft Malaysia Sdn Bhd to launch the 1Vendor Development
Program (IVDP) to boost the capabilities of local IT vendors.
Microsoft Malaysia managing director Ananth Lazarus said 475 MOF-registered IT contractors will be trained and certified under the first phase of the programme from July to December this year.
He added that Microsoft Malaysia had reinvested about RM2 million for the programme and should all go well, the second phase will be continued next year.
"As with any programme that is new, we want to measure the milestones, the quality of how we do things and the output we deliver back to the country," he told reporters after the launch by Minister of Finance II, Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Mohamad Hanadzlah yesterday.
Currently, there
are about 3,500 registered IT vendors with MOF. Over time, Lazarus said they
would like to scale all of the vendors.
Prestariang Systems Sdn Bhd was appointed as 1VDP training and certification provider.
The company has partnered Microsoft Malaysia since 2003 and it is the only Microsoft's large account reseller and certified partner for learning solution.
Lazarus said according to IDC, global IT spending will grow to US$1.8 trillion (RM5.69 trillion) and emerging markets like Malaysia will continue to have a big impact on the growth.
1VDP will train and certify IT contractors registered with MOF with competency training on Microsoft products.
