TOMEI CONSOLIDATED BERHAD

Adapting

to disruption with digital transformation
Tasked with navigating the radical shifts in business operations , Liong explains that , within a short time , the organisation was forced to digitalise . “ We were forced to relook at our technology systems and solutions , identifying new ways of working that are more robust , scalable and adaptable to fast-paced , changing needs ,” says Liong .
Whilst in need of an upgrade , Liong emphasises the importance of ensuring Tomei ’ s legacy systems continue to be functional alongside its new environments . “ We are a huge group , we can ’ t change everything overnight , so it has to be done right ,” explains Liong . “ This tasked us with the challenge of reworking our internal processes to accommodate the changes we are making , while ensuring that we continue to generate cost savings and bring in the right kind of talent .”
He adds : “ The pandemic has clearly demonstrated our need to transform ; we need to go digital . However , we need to ensure that , in these uncertain times , we are doing so in a cost-efficient manner . We also need to ensure that we develop a workforce that has the right skills to drive our digital transformation journey .
“ We can do both of these by exploring as many technologies and solutions as possible to ensure that we gain the best value in terms of ROI , and by building strong partnerships that we leverage to find the right people .”
