leaders, such as Hewlett-Packard Malaysia, Microsoft Malaysia and
SAP Malaysia, who won in 10 out of the 30 available categories,
which were divided into eight award sections: Communications,
Cloud, Enterprise Applications, Hardware, Security, Storage,

areas of price, performance, feature sets, reliability and ease of
use. Computerworld Malaysia readers do the actual evaluation and
then participate in an online survey.

research arm of Executive Networks Media, on behalf of
Computerworld Malaysia, following industry best practices to
deliver statistically valid results from the country's qualified
information and communication executives, including Computerworld
Malaysia readers.

Readers' Choice Awards in both Malaysia and Singapore has put the
widened the spotlight to include the service providers - as company
brands - rather than just their specific IT products and services.

providers' benefits and values delivered through products and
services that match end user needs, which as well as enhancing
customer engagement, better support the winning companies'
deepening partnership with their customers."
