Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 6 December 2021 – VSTECS Berhad (VSTECS,偉仕佳杰, Stock Code:5162) (“VSTECS” or the “Group”), Malaysia’s leading Information & Communications Technology (“ICT”) distributor has through its wholly-owned subsidiary, VSTECS Pericomp Sdn. Bhd., signed a distribution agreement with automation vendor Puppet Inc (“Puppet”).

With its market leading position and extensive network of enterprise partners in Malaysia, VSTECS aims to capitalise on the growing need for compliance across all sectors such as financial services, education, government and telecommunications. Puppet is the industry standard for IT automation and helps enterprises modernize and manage their infrastructure with the solutions to automate anywhere, reliably scale, and integrate compliance and security across hybrid infrastructure. “Puppet is delighted to have VSTECS as our official distributor in Malaysia,” said Rachel Lew, Regional Director, Asia and Japan.

“Puppet’s customers which include local leading enterprises will benefit from VSTECS’s comprehensive range of professional, technical support and training services. As we grow our customer base in Malaysia, we look forward to leveraging VSTECS’s well established and highly efficient logistical and ICT infrastructure for distribution.”

“The need for continuous compliance and enforcement of Day 2 operations continues to be a primary use case for those who are looking to adopt Puppet technologies in the region. With the explosion of cloud and increasing security risks, having a solution that continually puts infrastructure in a good known state – no matter the compute strategy (in the cloud or onpremise) – is essential in both regulated and non-regulated industries. With VSTECS’ proven 2 track record in delivering solutions focused on security and compliance needs, we are confident this relationship will help accelerate our growth and our customer’s overall success in Malaysia,” said Lew.

Mr JH Soong, Chief Executive Officer of VSTECS Berhad stated, “Cyber security resilience has been on the forefront of every organisation’s radar especially in today’s mobile working environment.
