KUALA LUMPUR- Malaysian broadband provider JARING Communications has launched new high-speed broadband packages to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) reduce IT costs during the economic slowdown.

JARING Communications chief executive officer Dr Mohamed bin Awang Lah said that JARING Biz-on-Net is available in three packages. “JARING Flite SME Gold, Silver and Bronze–tailored to meet the needs of different sizes of SMEs. These bundles range from broadband, web hosting, easy-to-use website builder, website visitor analyser, SME map locator to Internet telephony and e-mail services.”

“Our easy-to-use Website Builder provides tool for SMEs to build online applications e.g. automate common office procedures or deal business online and generate company’s multi-channel marketing and sales drives through e-commerce,” said Dr Mohamed. “The website visitor analyser helps SMEs in tracking and analysing the behaviours of visitors to their website which will be the basis for SMEs to determine the effectiveness of their website and the key to success in everything from sales and marketing to Customer Relationship Management.”

Focus on short-term business value

“Every business is challenged to focus on short-term business value while preserving a coherent IT architecture,” added Dr Mohamed. “Recognising this need, All-new JARING Biz-on-Net, is designed to ease upgrades and help customers reduce operational costs through total internet solution package that rides on reliable high-speed broadband connection.”

“Newly set-up SMEs can save as much as RM6,717.00 (US$1,831) in their first year of operation and focus more on their core business, increase productivity, enhance efficiency and effectiveness and improve their customer service rather than worrying about the upfront cost of acquiring products individually,” he said. “The bundles, which come in three packages, offer the same services at different levels of speed and capacities, depending on the size, scope, and general requirements of the client.”

“For SMEs, it is important to have a technology partner that is reliable and deploys the best solutions to help grow their businesses and be competitive. This is why JARING has included another unique feature in this bundle, known as SME Map Locator, an official business directory of the SMI (Small and Medium Industry) Association of Malaysia. The web allows quick identification by customers and partners and is able to link SMI/SMEs nationwide.”

“On top of that, subject to approval, newly start-up SMEs can take advantage of the Broadband Grant which is given in the form of a matching grant where 50 per cent of the approved project cost is borne by SMIDEC in the first year of operation,” he said. “The new JARING Biz-On-Net is available starting from a monthly cost of RM899 (US$245) for the Bronze package.”
