General manager Kenny Tan said the programme was a collaboration with Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation Sdn Bhd (MDEC).<\/p>\n

\u201cInfrastructure such as Internet connection in certain locations might be lacking, but we will address it together with our partners,\u201d he said in an interview with Bernama recently.<\/p>\n

Tan said local businesses have begun to accept the shift towards e-commerce over time despite several hiccups and concerns.<\/p>\n

According to SME Corporation Malaysia, e-commerce adoption among small and medium enterprises was expected to grow to 50 per cent by 2020, driven by the sector\u2019s increasing interest in online business.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said they were mainly concerned about security, and their concerns were compounded by a lack of understanding of digitalisation and cloud services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why we continue to provide education on what cloud is all about,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Tianchi Big Data Programme is a crowd-intelligence network platform which aims to find solutions to real-world problems.<\/p>\n

Under the programme, Alibaba Cloud aims to train 500 individuals and 300 start-up companies to become Alibaba Cloud certified professionals.<\/p>\n

Supported by MDEC, the programme offers data-intelligence technology and Artificial Intelligence capabilities to data professionals, and enables them to engage with about 120,000 developers and 2,700 academic institutes and businesses from 77 countries.<\/p>\n
