Our Advocacy 

Services 4.0 is the next paradigm shift in the future of services. Now, more than ever, businesses must transform to meet changing customer needs quickly, innovate and create new value to stay relevant and differentiate themselves from competitors.  

ICT solution providers are a crucial part of the equation, and the solutions they provide must be scalable and flexible. To achieve this, Cloud is the way to go.  

The Cloud & Data Chapter therefore aspires to help SGTech member companies leverage Cloud as a platform or utility to grow their business over the next 3 years.
