Prestige Atlantic Asia Sdn Bhd: Implementing HP Software in Paper and Packaging Industry
Jeff lye, CEOAt the Onset of the Journey:
Prior to the Prestige Atlantic venture, Jeff Lye was employed as a Software Manager, while late Pang was appointed as System Analyst in the same company. Due to the looming financial crisis then both were terminated from their employment. This impact enforced Jeff Lye to work as a freelance programmer. Doing so, he gradually secured a programming project for a Malaysian listed-company specialized in paper mills, corrugated carton and waste paper collection. As the opportunities boomed, Jeff Lye decided to form his own company, and therefore, invited Pang to be his partner. Together, they then rented a 68 sq. feet office with mere RM 2.00 paid-up capital. As they were aware about the first hand benefits of HP’s business critical growth programs, the founders decided to partner with HP to reap the utmost benefits of its Software. Jeff comments, “We have established good partnership with each HP Company in ASEAN region.” The Company gets engaged with its every client right from designing phase to the implementation of solution, and from project support time until improving the businesses. Within little more than two decade, Prestige Atlantic Asia’s business dynamics transformed, and today it is not only constrained with customers located in Malaysia, but also serves across Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippines. Alice Tan, Chief Software Development, adds, “The customers recognize Prestige Atlantic Asia as a global HP software partner that comes with HP’s endorsement and commitment.”
