AWANBIRU Technology Bhd, previously known as Prestariang Bhd, is looking forward to a brighter future after going through a storm over the last two years with the loss of the much-coveted Sistem Kawalan Imigresen Nasional (SKIN) contract in late 2018. Now, the technology and talent development group has found itself a new avenue of growth through its partnership with Google Cloud to provide cloud-based data services to Malaysia’s public sector agencies. In an exclusive interview with The Edge last week, Awantec president and group CEO Dr Abu Hasan Ismail says the partnership with Google Cloud is a step forward for the group from its previous arrangement with Microsoft.
