Malaysia's Basis Bay set to revolutionize the region's online business through pre-owned hardware trading

A pioneer in the area of e-business through its subsidiary E-Basis Bay, the company has single handedly carved out a niche for itself in the area of offering companies the choice of either pre-owned, refurbished or new hardware equipment online, and the company's representative at the inaugural Malaysia Services Exposition 2008 believes that the idea will take off in the Middle East just as it has done in South East Asia.

"Companies have for too long not had a choice when it comes to procurement options, and we believe that by offering them different options then we're providing them with a choice that will greatly benefit their business both from a costing point of view as well as for their procurement department," said, P. Suresh Kumar, Business Development Director, ebasisbay.com.

With a portfolio of companies and solutions that can provide an a to z of services and solutions, Basis Bay is one of the largest technology groups in Malaysia. By leveraging off its diverse range of products, Murali Rajoo, General Manager - Operations at Basis Bay subsidiary ISL reckons that the corporation can cater to every service and solution a company may ever need.

"We sell, maintain and cover all your requirements in a nutshell. Basis Bay is already spread over HK, India, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand, and we've decided that 2008 should be the year of the Middle East. What we're planning to do in the region is to tie up with service partners to bring in services at a much more attractive cost to end users, which in turn will create even more of a buzz for us."

"We're looking at launching a variety of services in the Middle East, including business continuity planning and consulting, application development and data centre services. However, if we are going to go full flight here we need competent partners who'll be able to fulfill requirements locally," added Murali Rajoo.
