MD . ADIL HOSSAIN , CHIEF ENTERPRISE BUSINESS OFFICER , ROBI , BANGLADESH
Robi ’ s evolution from Telco to Techco has helped the company to project itself as the leading tech-based solution provider across the industry verticals in Bangladesh . While we have a range of advanced solution portfolio , our Cloud and Colocation services clearly stands out , and already made significant headway into the market . In this regard , setting up the first ever Tier IV commercialized data center in Bangladesh has helped the company to command respect in the marketplace .
Prominent Banks , Fintech , IT , FMCG , NGO , News & Media etc . companies have already subscribed to our Cloud and Colocation services- this business took off significantly in 2023 . Companies who struggle to invest in on-site solutions , have been particularly drawn towards our colocation service . While the hesitation to migrate to cloud persists , it is very encouraging to note that more than 60 % enterprises are planning for cloud migration .
Like many other countries , we also see a great future for SD-WAN services in Bangladesh . Its ability to help organizations to effectively monitor and efficiently manage WAN traffic is beginning to entice the tech minded enterprises here . While the market yet lacks scalability , we have already carried out presale activities successfully in the Banking sector .
Though Bangladesh is yet to enter the 5G era , we are in discussion with the manufacturing and freight forwarding companies to enhance their operations through 5G . In this connection , we are actively working to create viable use-cases for the application of IOT , AR VR and AI Analytics in the manufacturing industries of Bangladesh .
In addition to our evolution into a Techco , our enterprise brand name- “ Robi for Business ” gives clarity of purpose to our prospective and existing clients . This clarity of purpose helps us to cut to the chase when it comes to pitching these advanced digital solutions in the market .
But despite many challenges , it is really encouraging to note that the industries here are very upbeat about embracing technology . As the market slowly falls into place , our focus for now is to win the trust and confidence of our clients , while expanding on areas that are gaining traction already .
