With our collaboration with Tencent (Thailand), we could deliver in-country world-class cloud platform that enables organizations and businesses such as the government, financial institutions, and media content service providers with an option to secure their data in the country. This will result in the incoming investments in the country and eventually make Thailand an epicenter of Indochina."
