To say that everything in today’s world is “online” would be an understatement. The internet is no longer just a tool for people to instantly communicate with each other, but a whole ecosystem where “life” literally happens.
Everywhere you look, there are people socialising on social media, getting informed via news feeds, working or learning remotely, streaming away their favourite music and shows and especially browsing the web to shop for products and services.
Meanwhile, according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, our e-commerce sector surged to RM290 billion, equal to an 18.3% jump in year-on-year earnings in the fourth quarter of 2021 alone.
And with the world fully adapting to the “new normal” post-Covid-19, this growth is only expected to increase as more and more people adopt the digital lifestyle.
This is why it’s important for any business to get “plugged-in”, to not only make the products and services they offer easily available to consumers online but make the whole process of running an enterprise as easy as tapping on a few icons.
But it can be difficult for businesses, especially the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) out there to transition into this digital world seamlessly.
Juggling between making sales, managing orders, keeping track of inventories, and providing the best customer service on multiple e-commerce platforms can be quite a handful of tasks to accomplish.
“MSMEs form the backbone of our economy and for them to be sustainable, in what can only be described as challenging post-Covid-19 conditions, digital is the way to go,” explained Mohamad Yusman Ammeran, the Head of SME Segment at unifi.
In order to stay competitive in today’s digital world, MSMEs must strive to maximise their business growth through innovative digital solutions, and this is where unifi Business comes in to help.

Having a secure system to store and back up those important files is imperative for any MSME heading into the digital revolution.
With unifi Cloud Storage, MSMEs can acquire a flexible, safe and scalable cloud-based data storage system with access for multiple users and secured encryption.
Cloud storage simply works by storing data on remote servers, where it can be maintained, managed, backed up and accessed remotely anytime and anywhere to keep it safe and out of harms reach.
