Practical Guides for ASEAN Technology Leaders
No vendor agendas. No generic frameworks. Just clear guidance written from 15 years of building and running technology across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and China.
All Guides
Each guide is built from primary sources — Microsoft, Google, vendor documentation, and real-world practice across the region. Tools and checklists included where relevant.
What moves cleanly, what doesn't, and the five risks that trip up IT teams across ASEAN. Covers email, Drive, Shared Drives, Apps Script, SSO integrations, and change management — with primary sources from Microsoft and Google. Includes a free 10-question Migration Readiness Checker.
Business Basic vs Standard vs Premium vs E3 — and how most ASEAN businesses are over-licensed in some areas and dangerously under-licensed in others.
A cost-benefit comparison of the three most common network brands across the region — for different office sizes, IT support models, and risk appetites.
How to prioritise, sequence, and govern technology decisions as a growing business — without paying executive salary for it.
A frank assessment of cloud migration for ASEAN businesses — including the cases where staying on-premise is the right call and why nobody tells you that.
Where ASEAN businesses consistently overspend on software — and the audit process to find and cut it without disrupting operations.
These guides are written based on the questions we hear most often. If there's a topic you'd find useful — a decision you're working through, a vendor comparison, a migration you're planning — let us know.
