Dato’ Seri Ivan TehAWARDS AND RECOGNITION

Industry and analyst recognition

Independent analyst inclusion, national programme status and press coverage.

Recognition that cannot be entered for

The entries on this page are not awards. They are assessments, and the distinction is the reason they sit on a separate page rather than being folded in with the trophies.

An analyst firm does not run a competition. It briefs vendors, speaks to their customers, evaluates the product against a published methodology and then publishes where each vendor falls. There is no submission to write and no jury to persuade, which makes analyst inclusion a useful independent check on a claim that a technology company makes about itself.

The entries

Industry and analyst recognition

Shortlisted in a Gartner report on modern analytics and business intelligence

Conferred by Gartner

Analyst inclusion is not applied for in the way an award is entered. It follows from briefings, customer references and product assessment, which makes it a useful independent check on a technology claim.

Named a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape for big data and analytics

Conferred by IDC

The MarketScape methodology scores capability and strategy against a defined set of criteria and plots vendors relative to one another. Recognition in both this and the Gartner assessment made the company the only one based in the ASEAN region to appear in each.

Global Acceleration and Innovation Network company

Conferred by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation

Status granted to Malaysian technology companies selected for support in scaling into international markets, alongside recipient status under the Malaysia Digital Grant Scheme.

Coverage in international business and technology press

Conferred by Forbes, Bloomberg, Forrester, Edison and others

Independent editorial and analyst attention across several markets, which provides a public trail that a reader can follow back to the original publication rather than relying on a single summary.

The ASEAN detail

Recognition in both the Gartner assessment of modern analytics and business intelligence and the IDC MarketScape for big data and analytics made the company the only one based in the ASEAN region to appear in each. That is a narrow claim, which is what makes it verifiable. A reader can go to both reports and count.

Press coverage as a trail, not a trophy

Editorial attention across Forbes, Bloomberg, Forrester, Edison and others is included here for a specific reason. Coverage in independent outlets leaves a public trail that a reader can follow back to an original publication. It is evidence of scrutiny rather than evidence of quality, and it is presented on that basis.

Questions people ask

Is analyst recognition the same as winning an award?

No. Analyst firms evaluate vendors against a published methodology using briefings and customer references. There is no entry process and no jury, which is why analyst inclusion is treated separately on this site.

What is an IDC MarketScape?

An assessment that scores capability and strategy against defined criteria and plots vendors relative to one another. Fusionex was named a Major Player in the big data and analytics assessment.

What is Global Acceleration and Innovation Network status?

A designation from the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation for Malaysian technology companies selected for support in scaling into international markets.
