Why is this event important to Enterprises?
BroadGroup Consulting estimates that the amount of outsourced datacenter space as a proportion of total space varies enormously around the world – and demonstrates in Asia the room still to grow - example:

Malaysia - 9%
Singapore - 43%
UK - 24%
USA - 38%

Outsourcing is a key trend and as executives managing IT infrastructure enterprises need to be aware of the technical and commercial opportunities as well as the pitfalls. The event takes place outside traditional conference centres, which inspires interest and engagement from delegates who are genuinely involved in datacentre and cloud markets. Iskandar typifies regional development in new zones and digital parks across Asia and offers a new and exciting location for the congress and its delegates.

Gives focus to the new opportunities emerging for Johor as a digital hub which is expected to expand substantially through to 2020 and will become a genuine alternative market to Singapore. It acts as a regional networking hub with delegates from more than 13 countries represented. It draws on the participation of enterprise end users in the region as both speakers and delegates. It brings leading international experts to interact with local players
