02 August 2010 - Going local as a way to stand out

Who doesn't dream of being their own boss? Some people make that leap from having a steady monthly income, to taking the risk of starting their own business, which may or may not pay off.

Elvin Hii, chief executive officer of Ishajaya Technology Sdn Bhd, took the risk and grew his business to a multi-million dollar business in a span of a little over two years.

Hii knew that the key to the success of his IT Company was to stand out among other players in the highly competitive industry, which is why he focuses on developing local talent to ensure that customers don't have to depend on experts from either Singapore or Malaysia.

What for, when the problems can be solved in Brunei, he insists.
