EmCall Presentation
The last few days have been a very exciting time for Emcom! In introducing and giving updates on the recent progress of Emcom and its business units, we presented Emcom to more than 2000 delegates from 9 different countries of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Brunei, and Korea.
Situated in a conference room in Toa Payoh Hub, the international conference was held over a period of a few days with overwhelming response from the many different countries. The event was a huge success with people filling up not only the entire room, but had people standing up and overflowing all the way till the back of the room. Imagine a highly enthusiastic crowd filled with people coming from different countries who speak different languages! It was an interesting yet challenging feat, talking to people from a variety of cultures and countries. There was one conference when there were two translators in the room, translating two different languages as I spoke!
Overall, it was a unique experience with an amazing crowd. Not only were the people very excited over the new updates of Emcom, they were amazed at the tremendous growth and progress which Emcom has made. Growing from just a small company in May 2006, Emcom has grown to an international conglomerate with 6 subsidiaries and 2 operational business units in the last 8 months. Also with an international presence, Emcom’s has strong active presence in the Asia Pacific Region including Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Taiwan and by the end of 2007, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and China. With a turnover of USD10 million in the last 8 months Emcom has done tremendous well for a newly start-up company which is slightly less than a year old.
One of the most exciting sections of the conference was on the introduction of Em™Call. In the next few months, Em™Call would be officially launched and we would be able to provide cost effective, reliable phone services to everyone. The crowd was very excited when Em™Call was presented as it would enable them to cut their phone bills by more than 50%. Quoting one of the delegates from China, “We are now able to make overseas calls for just a fraction of the cost! Not only am I able to decrease my business overheads but with this cost savings, I am able to expand globally more into other markets without worrying about communication charges!”
One of the quotes from a man whom I really respect, Walt Disney has really touched my heart. “As long as you have the courage to dream, you can achieve”. And it was following these words that I live upon everyday to really dare to take a step forward to live my dreams. I remember very early on when we first started on this dream to build a wireless world and to connect wirelessly whole countries; people laughed and said that it was impossible. However I did not believe so. I believed that the word impossible stands for “I M POSSIBLE”.
The last few months which has passed has not been an easy one. However the hard work has really paid off, in seeing the growth of Emcom throughout the months and how far it has progressed. With the support and approval of the crowd and in seeing their upmost excitement and enthusiasm for the new products and services which would be coming out, the moment was very gratifying not only for me but more importantly for all the staff in Emcom. Without the hard work and input of all the dedicated staff in Emcom, the company would not have been able to progress so far. It is really through their dedication and hard work that results were created. Here, I would really like to thank them for all the effort they have placed in and all the sleepless nights they had in rushing out the projects and reports. It is the people that make the company work and it is this strong team that will bring the company to greater heights and beyond.
