On 5th December 2024, V-Work had the honour of participating as a guest speaker at the Transform with Microsoft Seminar, hosted at the Microsoft Office in KL Sentral. Sponsored by Crayon Software Experts Malaysia in collaboration with FMM, the seminar brought together industry leaders and innovators to explore how businesses can harness AI for transformative growth.
Our managing consultant, Tennyson Lee, represented V-Work and delivered an insightful presentation alongside other Microsoft partners. The event showcased solutions across the Microsoft ecosystem, including Copilot in M365, D365 BC, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft Fabric. Each solution demonstrated how AI can be integrated into various facets of business operations.
Key Themes: Responsible AI Adoption
A consistent thread across all the presentations was the emphasis on data privacy and security. In the era of AI, safeguarding sensitive information and minimizing risks of data leakage remain top priorities. Each speaker highlighted the importance of using AI responsibly and ethically to ensure trust and reliability in AI-driven solutions.
Digitalization: The First Step Toward AI
As a Microsoft ISV Partner, V-Work’s presentation focused on a critical first step in enabling AI: digitalizing manual business processes. Tennyson emphasized that before businesses can fully embrace AI, they must ensure their data is digitized, structured, and ready for use in AI learning models.
One of the key solutions highlighted during the seminar was e-Sourcing with WeManage Procurement. This solution is V-Work’s flagship product designed to digitalize and automate procurement processes. This platform serves as a foundational step for businesses, allowing them to centralize procurement data, streamline operations, and prepare their organization to leverage AI in the future.
How Digitalization Prepares Businesses for AI
When business data is fully digitalized, it creates a strong foundation for advanced analytics and the future integration of AI-driven capabilities. By starting with solutions like WeManage Procurement, organizations can streamline processes, automate approvals, and enhance governance—key enablers of AI-enabled business transformation.
For example, digitalization prepares businesses to leverage AI for potentially:
- Budget Forecasting: Analyzing historical procurement data to make more accurate predictions for future budgets.
- Tender Requirements: Drafting tender compliance based on trends and patterns in past purchases.
- Governance and Audit Trails: Centralizing procurement data to enhance transparency, maintain strong governance, and ensure compliance.
While AI continues to evolve rapidly, digitalization ensures your organization is ready to embrace its possibilities when the time comes. Solutions like WeManage Procurement position businesses for success by establishing the essential groundwork for innovation.
Gratitude for the Opportunity
V-Work extends our heartfelt thanks to Microsoft, Crayon, and FMM for organizing this impactful seminar and inviting V-Work to contribute. It was an excellent platform to share our expertise and collaborate with industry leaders on shaping the future of business transformation.
