The project is one of the fundamental steps toward an inclusive digital ecosystem as part of the Malaysia Smart City Framework (MSCF).
Digital infrastructure leader, Quantela Inc, and MAP2U, a multidisciplinary Geographic Information System (GIS) Services organization based in Malaysia, announced today a strategic partnership to roll out an integrated solution for urban observatory and smart city services for PLANMalaysia, the Department of Town and Country Planning, Ministry of Housing and Local Government.
Phase one of the project includes creating a central platform that unifies urban observatory and digital citizen services platforms; and integrates with IoT and non-IoT components across 6 municipal councils enabling authorities to access unlimited insights and data analytics on a single dashboard. The overall vision for subsequent phases is to target 155 city councils across Malaysia.
“We could see a big ambition in collaborating with MAP2U in our first citizen services solution project in Malaysia,” said Amr Salem, Chief Executive Officer, Quantela.
“Quantela’s technology platform is the engine that will enable Malaysian authorities to collate, control data, and take decisions to improve the quality of life, foster economic growth, develop a sustainable and safe environment and encourage efficient urban management practices,” Amr added.
“We believe our partnership with Quantela will bring up unlimited value to PlanMalaysia by promoting the Standard Smart City Indicator ISO 37122 as part of Malaysia Urban Observatory (MUO) responsibilities. The solutions built on the Quantela platform will bring positive outcomes in coordinating and monitoring the urban development plan,” said DATO’ GS. AZHAR ISMAIL, Chief Executive Officer, Map2U Sdn Bhd.
“The solution will empower stakeholders with real-time data and help communities contribute and adopt environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices for our Nation.” DATO’ GS. AZHAR ISMAIL added.
