KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/AssociationOfInternationalCertifiedProfessionalAccountants?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#AssociationOfInternationalCertifiedProfessionalAccountantslt;/agt;–Fusionex, a leading multi-award-winning software solutions provider
specialising in Big Data Analytics (BDA), Artificial Intelligence (AI),
and Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0, is collaborating with the
International University of Malaya-Wales (IUMW) to advance BDA and
computer science proficiency among its students in a bid to groom future
technology experts.
In conjunction with the launch of the IUMW Business School, the
collaboration was announced during a recent Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) signing ceremony. Held at the IUMW campus, the ceremony was
attended by Guest of Honour IUMW Chancellor Tan Sri Dr Tony Fernandes.
Also in attendance were IUMW Vice Chancellor Tay Kay Luan and Fusionex
Vice President Chen Keat Ming, who were the co-signees of the MoU.
Pursuant to the MoU, Fusionex will be providing the university with
technological and advisory support, bringing to bear its
state-of-the-art BDA tools and subject matter experts to enhance the
technological prowess of the university’s students and faculty staff.
This will allow IUMW’s students to use Fusionex’s flagship BDA platform,
Fusionex GIANT, for study and research purposes. Fusionex and IUMW are
also in discussions to integrate Fusionex Giant to IUMW’s courses and in
final-year projects for the students.
To ensure that IUMW students are not only book-smart but capable of
working in groups, have good interpersonal communication skills and are
able work in a corporate environment, Fusionex will be conducting
technical workshops and providing opportunities for internship and
industrial training. To spark interest and enthusiasm, Fusionex and IUMW
will look into organising data science or BDA competitions such as a
‘Hack-a-thon’ for the IUMW students.
Fusionex Founder & Group CEO Dato’ Seri Ivan Teh commented, “It’s great
to be afforded the opportunity to collaborate with IUMW. Together, we
look forward to educating and training the next generation of data
technology professionals. This partnership is both critical and timely
as the world is digitising at break-neck pace. Our hope is that this
joint effort with IUMW will be a catalyst which will nurture and produce
data technology professionals of high calibre. These young, talented
students, if properly groomed, will be the ones that will make a
profound difference in this era. Fusionex is excited to be a part of
this journey with them.”
IUMW Chancellor Tan Sri Dr Tony Fernandes said, “We are pleased to
collaborate with Fusionex in providing education that is relevant and
future-proof for our students. Education in the 21st century
is about embracing digital technology. The Government’s aspiration for
the future generation is for them to be tech-savvy. Technology is moving
rapidly and educators are required to keep up with the fast pace and
endure it as part of their teaching and learning. It is imperative that
students are equipped with ICT and collaborative skills and be
interested in lifelong learning.”
